yes i can get it apart but i can't get it back together. one side will not slide into the other (on the top set of screws). i always tighten by doing a bit on each side (back & forth).

The reason I mentioned that technique is because it looked like you tightened the screw on one side fully and thus, creating an imbalance of alignment of the bracelet, but when I look closely at your pic, I see the screw is not tightened completely.

Perhaps try to separate the two pieces again and try to align the bracelet again before attempting to tighten the screws. It doesn't make sense how that happened. I would contact Cartier for techniques or visit them in-person.
 
Quick update:

My SA provided me every help on the Love. They even offered an exchange. Will watch for a few weeks and see.

p.s. As you all know the rainbows are definitely gone :sad: Either way you can't buy them or they fall off your wrist :shocked:

Have any SA's mentioned that maybe they are getting loose because you stack 7 and they are constantly hitting each other? Your stack is so beautiful but I wonder if maybe wearing some on your other wrist might help with screws getting loose.
Hopefully everything stays in place for you!
 
Hi everybody.
Would anyone know..is it normal that Cartier love small bracelet bought in 2021, to have a click noise? Like example the bracelet moves and rested not nicely on my wrist, when I shift it back to the rested shape position, there would be a click noise. It seems like as though the bracelet got “expanded”. The hinge and all are tight, it is just the click noise when it is placed back in position or rested on the hinge. Is it normal?
 
I purchased mine from Vestiaire Collective (came with box, papers, shopping bag, certificate) and it was in perfect condition. I did this also because I wanted the old screw system, as someone else mentioned above me. I managed to also save over £2000 off the retail price too (which helped convince my husband to let me buy it, lol.) :biggrin:

If buying from eBay, try to buy from Japan. They have extremely strict counterfeit laws and are usually very reliable with authenticity with resellers. My mum bought a 6 diamond WG Love Ring from a Japanese reseller a few years ago, came with box, papers etc - it's authentic and has just gone in for a service at Cartier.

thanks so much for the info. I’ve never heard of Vestiare Collective, just checked them out! I’m looking at a bracelet there. Is it safe to buy from that site?

Hi everyone! I just purchased my small Love in YG last week and so happy with it. However, earlier today as I was playing with my toddler, I must've pressed the bracelet on him and I thought I felt/heard a noise from the bracelet. And then I noticed that the part where the hinge is has a gap. Now, I can't quite remember if that was always the case or if something happened earlier but I wanted to ask folks who have the same if they can confirm that the hinge portion has a gap or if it should be seamless? Photo for reference. Thanks so much!

Hi! The hinge gap is normal. The click noise should be from the other side, the part where you screw tight the bracelet. I also have that if I rest hard on the table when I realise and wriggle the bracelet up, it will have a click sound like it has expanded.
No idea whether yours is the same!!!

Thank you! It must've been that sound that I heard. Good to know!

They have professional in-house authenticators and have been endorsed by Vogue. They’re probably one of the most reputable sites for buying pre-loved luxury. They’ve always been fantastic when I have purchased from them! Some people have negative experiences, but that’s the same with every store.
 
Hi! I am thinking about finally purchasing a classic Love bracelet in August/September. With that being said, I am beyond nervous about the bracelet falling off...realistically, how often do the screws come loose and has your bracelet ever fallen off? After owning the bracelet, would you recommend?

Thanks in advance!

Mine is 11 years old, and the screws have never been faulty.
Congrats on your upcoming purchase! Enjoy!
