Bracelets
Each month, Cartier Love bracelets are typically the best-selling jewelry item, and this was true for August. However, while we usually see yellow gold Love bracelets as the top metal, this August white gold bracelets surpassed yellow gold.

Earrings
Chanel dominated the earrings category for the month of August. Earrings from the French designer are typically at the top of the category. The most popular styles included button earrings and CC logo earrings. Behind Chanel earrings was another David Yurman favorite: Albion earrings. The colorful gemstone earrings perfectly pair with the best-selling cable bracelets. Finally, Tiffany & Co. knot earrings made for the perfect, simple earring for August.
Rings
Along with Cartier Love bracelets, Cartier Love rings are one of the best-selling items on the site. Although the Love bracelets sold the most in white gold, the Love rings sold the most in yellow gold. Following the Love rings was another Cartier classic — the Cartier Trinity ring.
