Hi guys, I have a quick question for those who own/owned these Cartier charity love bracelets, or just know a bit about them. I'm interested in getting one to pair with my Love bangle, and am forced to buy one secondhand because they're no longer available in the store. The one I currently have my eye on is the double love ring version in the two colors of gold on a red cord. Does this look like an authentic piece? Any comments or information would be greatly appreciated!

Not an expert but the silver ring appears to have a gap.

That would be a major red flag for me.

That was what I noticed too, so I made sure to post a close up pic of that to see what others think =/

I can't actually find any real pictures of this particular style bracelet online anywhere, but I'm pretty sure Cartier wouldn't have made a ring like that??

This is a completed listing of the same bracelet http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/18K-Gold-Yellow-White-Cartier-Love-Bracelet-Red-Cord-w-Box-/271257663276

I can't see any gaps on the rings, the letters "LOVE" are stamped much clearer than yours, and the rings appear to be smaller on the authentic version of this bracelet.

Also, from what I've observed, authentic Cartier boxes with cut off corners shouldn't have "Cartier" stamped on the top of the box (shown in your 3rd & 5th pics).

Wow Storm, you're certainly right. The rings really look nothing like the one on the completed (and more appropriately priced) listing. I'm so thankful you found these pics!

I sent the seller a message a few days ago asking about the authenticity of the piece they have for sale, and still haven't heard anything. That combined with the fact that they've never sold an item before officially takes them off my watch list. The search continues for this (or a similar style) bracelet!

Thanks again for the help. As a newbie here, I hope to be able to do the same for another member someday :D

I have just got my first Tiffany bracelet today. I bought it from Ebay. Would you please have a look whether it is authentic or not? One problem is that the rings on the bracelet is not 100% round. You could find it in the photos below (the fifth). Is it normal? I could not find the stamp on any ring of the bracelet.
By the way, I have found a made in China tag in the blue pouch.
Thanks a lot.

Bracelet looks absolutely fine, it's not unusual for authnetic packaging to be made in china so the pouch looks ok also.

Hello authenticators!!!
I sure hope someone more knowledgeable than me can give a thumbs up to these bracelets.

I'll be purchasing them this Sunday if all is good.
The seller assures me they are real, but cannot get receipts from Tiffany & Co because it's under her ex's name.

I'm inclined to believe the seller, it's just the large bead bracelet with the charm attached makes me nervous. I've never seen something like that before. The heart charms that are authentic seem to be attached to one of the beads on the bracelet. I just don't know if the seller had the charm attached to the bead bracelet, which could happen I suppose.

I'd like to give these items to my mother, so I'm hoping everything is authentic.

Thanks!!!

Items: Tiffany large bead bracelet w/heart charm, Tiffany small bead bracelet with heart charm (turquoise color), Tiffany link bracelet with dog charm (apparently the charm is from 7 years ago).

Item number: 517624743

At a glance they look fine, however to tell for sure you'd need close ups of all hallmarkings. Tiffany do sell larger beads with an attached heart charm; however to me that looks like a 10mm ball bracelet with a seperate heart charm added, which is easy enough to do especially with the clasps for attaching charms that tiffany sell.
