Two things!

Yesterday I looked down and noticed my Cartier SM love hanging off my wrist. I initially thought the lock mechanism was still in the lock position but I subsequently realized that it had somehow come unlocked by itself! I am now super worried about wearing it and losing it. Honestly I feel like it never locked properly - it just didn’t feel secure. It kind of moved/clicked back and forth. Do you think Cartier would consider taking it back and giving me a credit so I could get a Regular size instead?

Secondly, it’s the first time I’ve taken it off in 6 months and I’m wondering if it’s tarnished or just dirty. It looks awful! Pics attached.

That definitely doesn’t look right.. Take back to Cartier.

I recently took my Love bracelet into Cartier because one screw would not stay tightened… even then it never felt secure and still had wiggle room in the closure… Cartier charged me $400 to repair the bracelet.. which I thought was ridiculous coming from such a reputable company as Cartier. This is my second bracelet, the first one I’ve never had problem with at all.

Wow I’m sorry you are having problems with it. I ended up buying a new regular love and have to constantly tighten it.

What?!! That’s insane. It should be free. They also have the love enhancement for free that’s a new mechanism !

I’ve noticed that Cartier constantly updates their website, I believe the details attached are new and wanted to share :smile:

Oh that’s interesting. I wonder why there is a difference between the recommended times you can polish white and yellow gold….and how they didn’t mention how many times for rose gold.
I personally don’t plan on polishing for a very long time as I love the patina look. But I’m curious about their reasoning.

Also the fact that they recommend the quick shine service on rose/yellow golds only not white.
I did the quick shine service on both my plain YG and WG. The YG came back looking better but I was thinking that could be because the WG one had deeper scratches to begin with.

Hi all!
Got my first Love a few days ago, but have noticed that the screws keep coming loose. I wear it usually stacked with this Chrome Hearts bracelet, and when I take that off the screws are fine. I’m wondering if the two hitting eachother is causing the screws to come loose? Is this normal or is there anything that can be done?

a very interesting combo and it looks great in you!
It’s normal for the screws to require tightening early on, especially if stacking. Just keep checking them and tighten them. I’ve had my classic love 3 years and I rarely need to tighten the screws anymore, and I stack with with a thin love most of the time. If you can get to a boutique, they can tighten the screws with a more substantial screwdriver than came with the bracelet.

Thanks so much! I have been tightening on my own, but may head to a boutique and see if they can tighten it more for me.
