You are missing the point. This particular piece of jewelry is meant to be a gift. It has a lock and a special screwdriver for your partner to put it on and take it off. OP is welcome to buy herself any other piece of jewelry, but it's pathetic for her to buy this one that is meant to a gift just because her friends have it. She should convince her husband to buy it for her.

NP. No, you are missing the point. That was the practice when they first came out (back when Cartier only sold them as pairs). That changed long, long ago.

OP, buy your damn bracelet and put it on yourself if you want. (I put mine on by myself when necessary. Just rest your wrist on a table or dresser and go slowly with the screwdriver.)

If you are swayed to look elsewhere, check out bracelets from Ring Concierge. I would look at their Instagram page— the owner Nicole is quite entertaining AND a little controversial (on Reddit I think) by how sarcastic she is towards her toddler. I think she’s great and love her style.

I’ve been eyeing their Roman numeral bangle for awhile and have the small tennis bracelet.

Thank you for recommendation. This is a NP.
Looking at this, very similar to Love bangle at much better price. How is the quality??

PP here, not sure about the quality of the gold bangles. The Mini diamond tennis bracelet I have is great quality and a nice size that's it not too "blingy" for day-to-day wear:

I love my love. DH bought mine as my wedding gift, but if I could have responsibly afforded it, I would have bought it sooner for myself. Go for it, OP.

For real, PP? I’d honestly like to know more about the life of a person who would write this post, as would sitcom creators everywhere. Please tell us what your partner said when he gave you the Love bracelet, and what he says every night when he takes out his special little screwdriver.

This comment is woefully obtuse.

OMG I would never ever ask my husband to me something so tacky as the "love bracelet". I mean, come on, even the NAME is tacky, but I'm just explaining to OP how this works. You say "husband, for our 10th anniversary, I would like you to buy this bracelet." He buys it, and I hope to god you losers are smart enough to figure out to put the shiny little screw in all by yourself.*

*Sure as hell sounds like you're not getting any big screws.

You should buy whatever makes you happy, and is within your means. However, I sincerely hope that you outgrow the desire to buy things simply because your peers have them. That is an immature way to make decisions.

I don’t like bangle bracelets at all. Buy a Cartier watch instead.

And then the luxury watch people will say you have a bad watch. The cycle never ends just buy what you love.

Why is your scenario of telling your husband to buy you this thing for your 10th any anniversary any less pathetic than OP buying it for herself if you disdain the bondage element of it? She’s just cutting out the middle man. More power to her in my book.

+1 If it's "meant to be a gift" it doesn't really count if you have to tell somebody to buy it for you!
