Does anyone have a love cuff? I always shied away from the full bangle because I need to be able to take bracelets off for work. If so, please share pics and opinions!

Yup, I had it for several years, and then sold it. But I am a one off in that my wrists are really bony and it ended up being uncomfortable to wear for long. Most people won't have that issue I think. And I was paranoid about scratches so I couldn't enjoy wearing my piece without worry. I still think the Love bracelet is stunning, and would try a full love if I could get over my issue with scratches. But I can't so it's a no for me.

I have a Love cuff for several years now and I love it. I chose the cuff because I like to change my bracelets/bangles every so often.

Thank you! I love the yellow gold, and I think the cuff style would work better for me I’ll keep working on the bling fund

It’s so true- I would be so annoyed to scratch up such a pretty (and expensive) piece! I could totally see that. Fortunately cuff bracelets usually don’t bother me, although wider cuffs have given me trouble in the past. Thanks for sharing your experience!

@MizNina, lovely stacks! Who made the bracelet (or is it a bangle?) with the marquis and round diamond bezels? Very pretty and unique.

Thank you I had my Jeweler make it with leftover diamonds I had from another project small rounds and a single marquis oh and it’s an oval bangle

Cartier charm bracelet.

here’s the thread

#JOTW - I think that my Cartier charm bracelet is finally complete

This bracelet started unintentionally about 10 years ago when I found a vintage Cartier paper clip bracelet at an antique show. It is from the 70s or 80s and the serial number and Cartier signature are just faintly visible. I loved it immediately, especially because it reminded me of the...

This is gorgeous! I didn’t even know they make charm bracelets. Going on my ever growing wish list. Mod pic please.

Thanks, Fabfashion!
I’ve been collecting them for a while. I’m not sure if they make charms anymore. These are all vintage.

It's beyond gorgeous, definitely in "work of art" territory!!! I saw your other thread and it has been a really fantastic long term project, thank you for sharing with us.

 

[FL_runner]

Thought I would add a pic of my small TF! I love it and down the road id love a small Panthere in YG or two tone.

Got this for my 5-0. Kinda weird gift but strangely appropriate. Though truly not everyone’s cup of tea, I love it.

The Ecrou in WG. It is so much more comfortable than the love bracelet. Been wearing 24/7 except to shower. Just love this crazy bangle.

@LLJsmom this is stunning and I love how the ecrou is a cool, slightly "underground" edgy piece.

Please can you elaborate on why it's more comfortable than a Love to wear? Also, I've read that the nuts on the bangle move around a lot, does it affect you/your view on the piece at all?

Thanks in advance!

Brand new just picked up today!
Now I need a sparkly band to pair with it!

I have more flat and very bony wrists so when I had the love, my arm would twist in the opposite direction of the bracelet and it would be very uncomfortable on the sides of my wrist. I think the fine threads on the Ecrou just make it more textured to the touch. Resting against my wrist and higher up on my arm it is just comfortable, like how the VCA signature perlee has a beaded edge which makes that a very comfortable against the skin. I think most people don't have that issue with the Love.

The nuts tend to all roll to the outer edge of my arm, toward the pinky side of my hand. So I end up seeing just all the threads, except the stationary nut on the thumb side. I don't mind because I find the actual bracelet sans nuts very beautiful and shiny. I would get this bracelet even without the nuts. I just leave them on the side. Maybe I'll space them out once, but really I'm fine with them clustered out of view.

I'll post some pics. Please excuse my dry skin. I really should moisturize regularly. And you will see what I mean by bony wrists. I have creepy alien forearms. The last one is the underside of my arm. This is in indoor lighting. The polish is beautiful. In the sun it’s very shiny.

This is SO edgy and glam

@LLJsmom - you have such dramatic and exciting style!! The Ecrou - in white, no less, hard-edged and "unforgiving" - next to pastel, neutral, womanly Chalcedony. And it totally works. Seriously - how do you figure these combos out!? I need you to style me!!

Happy birthday!!!!!!! You've wanted this piece for a long time - perfect way to celebrate a big birthday!! It's a very very You piece. I love that it's not #EverydayCartier (let's pretend that #EverydayCartier is a #Thing)

I kind of... Really really love the look of the plain ribbed bangle with just the one visible nut... The emptiness really works somehow... You're rockin' it!!

Thanks sweet @yssie . I could not style you. I am not worthy... Your inimitable style inspires me to let my weird and rebellious side show itself. Thank you for always being open to my odd combinations. I can't wait to see what you've got up your sleeve next. They will be STUNNERS for sure.

Happy birthday!! That bracelet is SO freaking cool - and it looks amazing with the rest of your bracelets. Great pairings and great addition!!

Thank you @SandyK. I second guessed myself so many times about this piece. But once I put it on, it felt just right. So I'm glad I eventually committed.

@LLJsmom SOOOO cool and edgy!!! And I love how you've stacked it! Happy birthday, you!!

LOVE your new addition to your fabulous wrist stack. I have always admired this bracelet.. it's so unique and bold. FABULOUS!!!

Also.. I just added to my French vocabulary by looking up what "ecrou" means and it means nut.. the kind that goes on a bolt.

Thank you so much @Rubies-R-Me. I never even thought to look up what Ecrou meant. So it means “nut”. Lol! How literal! So appropriate for a nut that buys a “nut” bracelet.

It's funny! I actually learned a lot of French mostly from Cartier.
Juste un Clou.. "just a nail"
Perruque is a line of Cartier ring and necklaces that looks like a mop and it translates to "wig"
Agrafe means "clip" and the necklaces and bracelets from that collection have a very distinctive clasp that looks like a clip.
Etincelle means "spark" and it's their line of sparkly diamond eternity bands.
Pluie means "rain" and it's a ring that Cartier makes with teardropo shaped diamonds.
And from VCA I learned that Cadenas means "padlock" and their line of Cadenas watches looks like a padlock.
I feel like a very dedicated language/jewelry student!

Thank you so much @KristyDarling . You know how it’s like to therapy-jewelry collect. It’s been one of those summers.

Had fun at Cartier today. I had been eyeing the Cartier Trinity from the moment I saw it. While I was there, I tried on a few other things. I have barely tried on any rose gold, I am surprised at how much I fell for it!

Cartier Trinity, Small and Classic (I liked the Small on my middle/index finger) - I went up 3 whole sizes (Euro sizes) which shocked me! So 3/4 sizes larger than my normal size in US. Their recommendation on their site to size down is baffling




Small.


Leger XS and S, white gold and rose gold, then XS and S in rose gold





Love cuff white gold and rose gold
unplated white gold really is not for me...love the RG though! But I found it somewhat uncomfortable


Love bangle - I loved these two. I don't know which is my favorite!!! Much more comfortable than the cuff in my opinion. One day...

Totally agree iwth you on the sizing of the trinity ring. I have to size up or I get serious finger muffin top. Love the YG and RG on you.

My clash ring

Love the Clash ring. I've thought about it so many times, but when I try it on, it's NOT love. Argh. It looks great on you. The color works.
