Was the Agrafe bracelet ever made in a smaller size? Less than the 2.93ctw ?

I'm looking at one now, that is less weight and less ctw. It LOOKS real, and checks out as real diamonds and real gold.. and the Cartier mark seems to be done right.. but I don't see a smaller one on their site, or on ebay.

Any one recall a smaller piece? I know they make different sizes of stuff, ie Trinity rings.

Are these other markings something you guys have seen before?

Below is the bracelet on the Cartier site.



Ours are attached.





 
None of the markings look right to me, except for the name. I have NEVER seen the TCW listed on a Cartier bracelet, EVER. I have only seen it stamped on engagement rings...that is very unusual. The Cartier's makers mark (the diamond shaped one) also look atypical...usually it contains an S over interlocking C's (which frame another C) and an A below that (standing for Cartier S.A.), although sometimes they do have other ones, but I can't even tell what that one is supposed to be and usually they are relatively sharp. I have also never seen a "puffy" 750 or a copyright symbol in that font on an authentic Cartier. Also absent are French hallmarks (one or two eagle heads), which are usually found on their higher-end diamond bracelets. I think you should trust your suspicions and not purchase the item! There are too many red flags for me!
 
What throws me is how perfect the Cartier is. The workmanship is great as well. I mean this is a hell of a lot of effort into a copy isn't it? Boggled someone would goto this much effort.

How would one find out. Can that serial be run? Heck I suppose they could have used a legit serial if they took this much effort...

Of note, none of the bracelets on ebay or Google appear to be consistent with stamps or writing.. Which left me more confused.
