I need and also prefer to take off my jewellery when showering, house chores etc. Hence for love bracelet will be a hassle I think. Very helpful comparison
I've heard the Love bracelet is actually quite comfortable to wear when you get used to it. I sometimes wear my JUC 24/7 as i'm too lazy to remove it as it requires more effort to remove and it doesn't bother me so I'd imagine the Love Bracelet should be even more comfortable. As they are made of gold they should be fine in the shower. But I agree in general I like the flexibility to remove them if and when I want to without too much hassle to unscrew everything. Good luck on your journey!
You have beautiful pieces. Thank you for this video. I prefer the Hermès CDC. It’s so beautiful and attractive- I always get lots of compliment when I wear it specially with the matching ring.
Thank you ClaraZeela for this review. I was debating on Hermès bracelet. But now I am not sure. I feel Cartier is better choice. Though I love several Hermès rings very much, even better than Cartier Love ring.
@@ClaraZeela most likely you’re right. I already watched your video several times. I realized just now that it’s my second comment under this video lol 😂
Good comparison. Yeah the CDC goes well with the JUC. Scratches definitely a no for me for now. I had the CDC 24 in leather and yeah the hook to lock it will have some scratches which is unavoidable but not that noticeable as compared to those in metal. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy.
HI Shana, thanks for your comment. I really like the CDC 24 also, it's a different more edgy look. I think Amy also got the CDC 24 in black and silver and it looks stunning on her! I'm okay with some small scratches. It happens but as long as it's not too noticeable from an arm's length it doesn't bother me. One thing I did notice is that the Hermes gold is a bit more scratch prone vs Cartier although Cartier also definitely has small scratches. (I may be wrong but it feels a bit like that). As you can see from the video, the CDC feels "thinner?". Anyways...the Hermes journey continues. To be honest, out of all the items, I like the Jewellery the most only because I feel I can get the best cost per wear over time and the designs are classic enough that I hope that I can wear them for a long time. Great to see you again and speak to you again soon! Have a fantastic weekend!!
Hi what sizes are your Cartier bracelets in comparison to the cdc? My love is 17 and I want it to be the same size as the cdc. Would I order the ST or SH? Thanks!
Hi Lee my Cartier love is 16 and I have a SH for my Hermes CDC. As your arm is slightly larger not sure which will fit you better. But for me the SH is perfect. You may need to ask someone who has size 17 also to know for sure. Good luck !!
HI Oxana, I don't own any rings from Hermes yet. Another option is the H gold stud earrings if you are looking for an inexpensive FJ piece. There are a bit tiny, but they are cheaper than the Chanel fashion earrings hahaha!
Would your personnal preference would be the same between the Hermes CDC bracelet in rose gold vs the cartier love bracelet (with one screw only) PM size in rose gold? Im debating to get the best, for a milestone celebration. Thanks for your help!!😍
I feel Cartier is more classic unless you really can't for the bracelet to be on all the time. I feel Cartier is more classic and likely better for milestones. The Hermes CDC bracelet is more something you get as a second bracelet but both are lovely.
Hi Clara, love to watch this kind of video. I was looking for the cdc vs Cartier bracelets comparison video. May I ask if you could pick again, would you still pick the cdc with the diamonds or without the diamonds?
@@janelaw4306 haha generally I like to buy diamonds separately as the sparkle is very minimal on this bracelet. However the price difference of $2500 was acceptable for me at the time. If I had to do it again I’d go without. You can use the extra savings to save towards a diamond Tennis bracelet or bangle which has more sparkle 😊
Thanks for the helpful review! I have a JUC small and am debating if I should get a CDC with diamonds, CDC without diamonds, or a kelly bracelet to stack! Do you think the diamonds on pyramids is worth the extra money?
Hi Weing thanks for your question. The diamond pyramids are about an extra US $2500. Whilst the amount is not as steep as the full diamond CDC, if you don't already have other diamond bracelets I think it's better to save the extra $2500 to buy a future diamond bracelet to stack or wear separately. The pave diamonds are not too sparkly. While the look is more unique as most ppl have the full gold one, I feel that the diamonds do not particularly add too much to the bracelet. Having said that $2500 is not too bad if you are looking at other diamond accessories from Hermes. Just that I feel that you can get better diamond pieces elsewhere unless you really want the diamonds on the bracelet. I'd suggest you can try both and see if the diamonds make a big difference for you. Since your JUC is also a small one, you may also want to see how they stack together as the CDC will have a slightly thicker band. If there is an Hermes store near you, bring. your small JUC and see how they look stacked together. Good luck!
@@vv8127 HI Virginia. I have quite a few VCA pieces; however I'm planning to them go eventually. They are not really my Style as they tend to be more feminine pieces. I prefer diamonds and gold over stones. I'm sure it would look lovely stacked together.
Very nice pieces you have Clara. With the H FJ being softer than the Cartier ones, do you think it follows that in terms of the purity of gold, the Cartier would have more other components other than gold? Not an expert but i’ve read somewhere that gold is generally a soft metal but becomes sturdier when mixed with others. Love your CDC!
Thanks Roi that's a very interesting fact I didn't think about and it could well be the case! It's something I would need to ask the SAs in the future! Nevertheless I still like the "feel" of the more robust Cartier piece. It's a subjective preference although you do bring up an interesting point! I tend to knock the pieces around as they are on my wrist so I do prefer something that's slightly more robust! Thanks for watching and have a great week!
@@ClaraZeela it does indeed boil down to personal preference and lifestyle! The better option is to have both and the best option is to have them all! 😅 have a great week ahead to you too! ❤️
Pls check with your local Hermes as prices vary by country. I don't have the info you are looking for but you can check with your local Hermes boutique.
HI Eileen, it doesn't come off on me and is quite secure. I have had two cuffs for several years and neither falls off. It may occasionally flip to one side (depending on the shape of your arm), but so far it's been pretty carefree and is easy to remove at night or when I need to remove it for the gym or other errands. Hope it helps!
Very beautiful pieces:) just wondering, did you have to include your necklace purchase as part of your birkin journey or that came after you had the B25 already? Just trying to get a sense of this price ratio before you could get offered a B or K?:) thanks
Hi There, the necklace was secured by a deposit before I got the B25 but wasn't fully paid for until after my B25 when it arrived recently as there was no stock at the time. Ratio will vary depending on which country you are in and what size, color & specs you are after. Some countries will be easier than others. Again, depends on country and the specs you want. Some will be easier than others.
Hi Vivien, thanks for your comment. Hypothetically I can but I prefer to wear only one max to sleep. But yes I have fallen asleep with both before. That's why I prefer gold and diamonds as I can be "lazy" if needed LOL. These are all expensive items so I prefer that they are as low maintenance as possible and that I can get good cost per wear out of them! Hope it helps!! Have a great weekend!
Currently debating wether to get the CDC or the kelly bracelet! thanks for the video.I would also stack either with a JUC so this helped a lot. Nice necklace :)
Hi Christine, the Kelly bracelet in gold is also on my list of items I'm considering in the future. I think they are both equally beautiful. Let me know if you decide to get one or other later. Would be interested to know your thoughts too! My instagram: @Clarazeela if you wanna chat. Good eye on the necklace...u are the first to notice ;)
@@christiner4841 So true...hahahaha! I have yet to try it at the shop but definitely at the back of my mind. The first time I saw the Kelly bracelet i felt it looked too similar to my Love bracelet but slowly getting more drawn to it!
@@ClaraZeela i find the Kelly is very classic and feminine, I tend to gravitate towards edgier pieces , I was set in the CDC but I’m starting to change my mind , I just need to buy one and see. Lol tough choices :)
@@christiner4841 same here I prefer the edgier pieces too and I have the Cartier love which is similar. I’d have to play with it at the shop to know for sure . But yes if they have other interesting pieces I would definitely look 👀!!

Hi, I think that diamonds protect pyramids from scratching. Otherwise I would say pyramids would be proned to it, as they stick out.
i own the JUC and cdc I’m so happy we have the same stack :) I love them both
Yay! Glad you also enjoy the same stack!! Are you looking to add anything additional to this stack? Have a fantastic weekend!
@@ClaraZeela it would be nice if I can add the VCA 5 motify bracelet as it goes well with JUC and CDC :) will you consider VCA bracelet

Can you do a 1 year review of this CDC bracelet?
Or…you can sum up your thoughts on it here
🫢🤩😅 Hermes cdc and Cartier Love. Which bracelet can be used well for a long time?
Both can wear a long time

Pls check with your local Hermes as prices vary by country. I don't have the info you are looking for but you can check with your local Hermes boutique.
Hi Clara! What is the width of the cdc?
Does the love cuff come off on its own since not fully secure?

The Hermes one seems lower quality than the Cartier bracelets. :(
HI Anna, hard to say for sure. I think they both just give off different vibes. Cartier is more edgy and Hermes is more elegant.
Cartier can’t be compared with Hermes. Cartier more focus on fine jewelleries and fine watches rather than Hermes. Hermes more focus in fashion jewelleries and bags.
