Ladies, this weekend I sent dh a dear Santa letter about getting a Cartier bracelet. I was very surprised to hear him say, well I haven't looked at our finances lately but maybe we are doing well enough that you might get it this year... And let me tell you, DH is very dear but he is a white tshirt and jeans guy so I was totally floored by the response.

Anyway, just assuming that i find a red box under the tree this year, which bracelet do I want for my first one? I currently have none but eventually plan to get all three...

- yellow gold love. It is just so classic and could pair with my Hermes cdc as well as some other gold jewelry. Would love to get a matching yellow gold tank Louis in the future to pair with this one. Don't like that it is hard to remove and that I've read about some bracelets falling off.

- white gold love. This pairs well with my platinum wedding set as well as my current watch (Cartier santos) and I love matchy matchy. Would love this with the four diamonds but since I just purchased an Hermes bag that I still need to tell him about, don't think diamond will be waiting under the tree this Christmas.

- yellow or rose gold juste un clou. The SA at the store wore a RG one under her suit jacket and I loved the simplicity and modernity. I like that the JUC is supposedly easier to remove when I want to wear white toned jewelry instead. I am slightly worried about the nail end since we have a toddler and I am expecting another little one. Also would I regret getting a clou first if I ended up waiting a long time for the next bracelet and find the clou to be too trendy?

All advice welcome.

I chose the WG love because that's what I have (and also it would match your wedding set). But if I were in your position I'd show DH pictures of the three choices and ask him to pick. That way you'll have a surprise on Christmas morning and it'll be more special knowing that he chose it.

If you are super matchy then maybe the WG, however, I would get the YG first! My ER/WR are also platinum but I am insanely in love with the YG Love with it (it wasy first piece of YG jewelry) and now helps tie in other YG jewelry like my VCA bracelet. For me, I wanted the iconic original YG (mine is 4 diamond). I think if you ultimately want one with diamonds, I would wait to do the WG with diamonds because it has a coating which keeps the WG staying shinier than the WG w/o the diamonds.
Good luck! Any Love will be perfect!

Agree with everyone above. YG Love first. It's a classic, will never look dated, or too trendy. It's not big or gaudy so most people don't even notice it but I always get compliments on it from people who do even the ones that have no idea about the Cartier brand or what a love bracelet is. I've had mine for 2 years now and it's been on my wrist the whole time. Never had a problem with it coming loose or falling off. You won't regret it!

I say go for a LOVE first. If you like matchy matchy, WG might be your best bet. If you are open to mixing, have you thought about rg? It will go well with your ER and actually pairs beautifully with hermes bracelets. Good luck!

I would vote for the yg love first although if your DH's response was that he needed to check finances first , and you purchases an Hermes bag that he doesn't know about , you had better come forward with him or you just might be getting coal from Santa.
