Good deal! Thanks!!! The sterling silver cloths work great on my Tiffany’s pieces. Was hoping their gold cloths work the same magic on Cartiers!
My love bracelet was stuck on one side (screw is extremely difficult to screw on) but I finally got it off with a longer screwdriver, not without scratching it *sigh* My question is if I should put some kind of lubricant in that screw or what I should do so that I can get it on and off easier next time. Anyone have advice?
I wouldn’t put any lubricant on it.
I would wash it gently with dishwashing liquid (no phosphates) and water to clean out any debris that may be stuck around the screw area or you can use the cleaning kit and toothbrush provided by Cartier.
Personally, I clean mine with the first method occasionally.
It was my first time wearing the bracelet when taking it apart for the first time I had a lot of trouble but taking it off was even worse. It is unlikely that debris is in there after wearing it one day. Do you think there is another way to ensure I won’t have the same issue taking it on/off?
That’s unusual. I would take it back to Cartier and have them help you or get an exchange.
No, because I consider that normal, hairline scratches and nothing that would cause a major scratch.
I would not worry about it or let it concern you, and this is coming from a person that doesn’t like scratches either!
No, just buy a Fabulustre cloth and you can work out most scratches and shine up your Love easily
I find screwing on the Love is a science. you have to screw each side kind of equally. They have to be locked in place 100% or else it won't screw on correctly. It takes practice but for sure wouldn't use lubricant.
Hello back.
What kind of fabric would scratch the love?
not sure if this is any relevant but I'm usually annoyed when I wear my mini Balenciaga crossbody. Because the bag has so many hardware, I will be wary.
No, it's inevitable the bracelet will scratch. I don't have the desire to baby my jewelry. I find the imperfections lovely and love the patina that mine has developed over the years. Enjoy yours and don't worry too much about it!
This is an interesting topic! Fabrics haven’t bothered me or how much I toss and turn in my sleep and I know I’m rubbing them all over my bed sheets but I will share one thing that scares me. Zippers! I just can’t bring myself to wear my leather jacket that has a lot of zippers/hardware because my specific jacket has ROUGH zippers. I always make sure to wear a long sleeve top underneath my leather jacket because it literally irks me to know that the zippers by the arm/wrist area could scratch right over my bracelets. That’s the only thing I worry about though, everything else I don’t even bother anymore lol.
