Not sure what all the hate is about. The Cartier Love bracelet is classic and elegant and goes with everything. I’ve had mine for a decade and wear it everyday. Go for it OP!

They have different sizes. Did you not know?

I find it amusing that they appear to be trending again. My mother, who is too savvy and frugal to buy one of these, had a dupe made to order for me from melted gold pieces that she no longer used … when I was in high school, around 1983! I also have a matching band (ring). My bracelet has a modified clasp so that I can take it off without the screw. Wore my set quite a bit in the 1980s. Haven’t worn it in ages. It’s still lying around somewhere. I may dust it off, haha!

Jewelry is something meant to be enjoyed, so if you would enjoy wearing it, then buy it. Personally, I would not wear this, and would be disappointed if my DH bought it for me, because there’s nothing unique about it.

I would buy myself one. If I wanted to spend that much. Which I don't.

OP here thank you. I didn’t expect so many people to be so frustrated with my Q.
Nobody is frustrated with your Q, we're just confused about why you would buy yourself something that is meant to be a gift just because all your friends have one. It's kind of sad.

I had a Love bracelet for about a year--added it to my "stack" of two Juste un Clou (nail bracelets). I absolutely hated it. It was hard to take off and drove me nuts the way it slid all around my wrist. I then started noticing them EVERYWHERE (Bravo D list celebs, etc) and decided to sell it on The Real Real--didn't lose too much money since the resale of them are pretty high in demand.
I have a few friends that have multiple on their wrists and never take them off. One of my friends wears two sweat bands on each wrist when she works out so they don't clank around.
I love my Juste en Clou bracelets because I can take them off whenever I want AND they more unique than the Love.
If I were you, and you wanted to spend $7kish, I would get a great used Rolex.
The Juste en Clou is gorgeous and nobody would ask who bought that for you?” That was the real pointed question within my obviously too vague verbiage. I love the idea thank you

Buy it if you want it. They’ve been around forever so they’re not trendy as some PPs suggest. I wouldn’t call it an investment necessarily but if you can afford it, go for it.
xoxo thank you

There was a preschool mom who seriously wore 3-4 of them at once. I imagine that she also has a full set of heavily branded LV luggage.
I’ll kidding aside, multiples do look gorgeous when paired together correctly. Obviously I’m referring to situations where money is not an issue.
