This is exactly what I'm worried about. The Rose looks so good on my skin tone but most rose plates things turn very quickly on my skin. If I didn't do Rose I would do WG. I just wonder if I'll be disappointed with the Rose changing. So confused what to do.

I am a little bit annoyed that it changed so quickly from rose to yellow gold (especially when I compare the colour of the bangle vs the screwdriver it came with). But I still love it so no regrets.

I'm glad. Do you think it looks totally YG now or still a little on the pinky side?

My oldest Love bracelet is RG, I've had it 9 years and I wear it all the time. It has faded (generally due to exposure to the chemicals in shower water and pools), but it still has a little bit of rose to its appearance, particularly where the screw designs are around it. Its so subtly RG, that it is easy to mistake for YG. However, if I put it next to my new YG Love, one can more easily tell its RG. Good luck with whatever you decide.

Thank you. I am not much of a YG fan on myself so thats why Im concerned with the color turning YG... Overall I do think the RG fits my skin tone the best. We will see...

I went to Van Cleef & Arpel this weekend to look at some necklaces and they thought my bangle was yellow gold. Then I walked over to Cartier to try on bracelets and they thought it was yellow gold too.

But it's okay, I preferred rose gold when I purchased my bangle 5 months ago and didn't like the way yellow gold looked against my skin. Now I like the look of it. It's a gorgeous bangle regardless.

I have had the rose gold bangle for a few months only and when I went to Cartier to try on the thin Love, my rose gold has faded to a point where it looks closer to the yellow gold than the rose gold. Very surprised the colour changed so quickly, the Cartier sales rep even thought I have had my bracelet on for a year.

So if you can't decide between the rose or yellow, I suggest get the rose gold since it will turn into yellow gold anyway.

This is better. The screwdriver vs my bangle. You can clearly see the difference here. My bangle started out same color.

Oh wow! That is crazy! There is no hint of pink at all. I've seen Loves fade but never look this yellow. I wonder if it's a body chemistry thing because it's weird that this happens to some people and not others. It still looks beautiful by the way. ;)

Thanks :). It turned yellow pretty much after the 2nd month. I think you are right, I think it's a body chemistry thing too. I am about to purchase a pink gold necklace - I am hoping that will stay pink gold longer than my Love.
