I started my Cartier collection with plain YG and rainbow PG Love bracelets in 2018. I had posted about my first 2 Cartier pieces in this thread : https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/my-first-cartier-jewelry.996667/
Unfortunately, both of the Love bracelets would come apart with screws becoming loose and after 2 repairs Cartier declared them as defective. I exchanged them for JUC with pave nail head and two tone Ballon Bleu. HI was quite unhappy about how things panned out and when my friend was looking to buy the same pieces, I sold it to her.
In these 2 years, I have tried VCA Perlee bangle, Hermes CDC and Kelly to replace the Love bracelet and nothing seems to match the simplicity of Love.
These are the options I am considering:

These are the options I am considering:
- Regular Plain YG Love + JUC with pave head - It will be the same locking mechanism and I am so worried. I also don't like that I have to be dependent on another person to lock/unlock the bracelet.
- Small Plain YG Love + Small Pave YG Love + JUC with pave head - Small Love is not as substantial as Regular Love but I prefer the locking mechanism.
- Wait for few more years and see if Cartier changes the locking mechanism on Regular Love.
