Mine became loose the first 2-3 weeks and crazy enough since September it hasn't changed. I monitor the direction of the line on the screw head. My SA said it takes a few weeks or months to wear in. You should be fine! Looks FAB!
I've been reading this thread for a long time and I'm pretty aware of loctite and was prepared to use it, better safe than sorry.
When i got my Love, my SA told me to monitor it closely for the first few weeks and tighten it every once in a while. I did check on it every day for the first week, to see if I was able to screw it any tighter but I didn't have to because the screws didn't bulge.
It's been 3 months and so far it hasn't loosened even a bit. I should add that I do not stack it with other jewelry. I wear it 24/7 and have gone swimming, boxing, gym, to the sand dunes, washing hands regularly too.

Diamonds for the white gold love over the regular!! The plain white gold love is not bright, it’s kind of grey steel shade instead. The diamond pieces are rhodium plated so it’s much brighter!
It’s really up to you!
My DH got to decide for me lol
He went in to get a Classic Love but decided on the small with 6 diamonds because he preferred it.
I like the 4 diamonds, but don’t prefer the full diamonds because I like seeing the screws.

Hi,
i had my classic love for an entire year without any issues. Once the year was up it would loosen so much almost daily that I had no choice but to use Loctite. Just an FYI to always be aware because unfortunately it may happen. I hope for you it doesn’t! Enjoy your bracelet, I LOVE mine!
I agree. Once it starts to loosen, it seems to continue to do so more frequently. Mine was fine until I started stacking. There’s also the natural vibrations of arm movement over time that can cause loose screws even without stacking.
It’s the nature of screws to loosen in the face of constant movement/vibrations and lack of friction.
Screws need some sort of friction/tension such as a thread locker or debris (dirt, sand, elements, etc) when faced with constant movement over time to stay tightened.
The driving force that made me truly consider Loctite was after playing tennis for one hour and by the end of play, the screws were practically completely undone (even with a wristband on). That scared me so much that my last resort and peace of mind was using Loctite.
Side Note: The Loctite specialist I spoke to also asked about something “blind” - I didn’t quite catch the terminology but asked her to explain. Essentially, she was asking me if this screw is exposed to air or sealed tight. Considering the new model of the screws seems to have that “smiley face” in the back, perhaps that creates air exposure. It may be one of the reasons the Loctite may have a long time drying fully so try not to get the bracelet wet for at least 24 hrs. and air dry as long as possible!

No, orders online almost never include a travel pouch (if I'm recalling correctly) or cleaning kit. I always emailed them with my online order number, etc and requested it afterwards and have always gotten them from Cartier.
Additionally, when I did purchase something in person, I never thought to request pouches or cleaning kits at the time so before the pandemic I also requested pouches for other items via email with my online order request, and they also sent them. I've always had a great experience ordering online and contacting customer service via email.
No problem. Another piece of advice - you should actually email them because it creates a paper trail. I have also made purchases on the phone and whenever I requested those items, the rep on the phone either told me they can't send them, they will send it (never got it) or they are not in stock.
I strongly advise that you send customer service an email. Good Luck!
Hi everyone, I’ve searched the forum for an answer to my question but without success. My well meaning husband purchased a love bracelet with 4 diamonds for me last year - however it did slip his mind that I work in healthcare (meaning bare below the elbows - no watches, bracelets, etc) as a result, I only wear my love bracelet when I am off work. Does anyone have a similar experience, screwing it off and back on at least once a week? I understand it will probably strip the screws eventually but I wonder how long that will be. Jealous of those that get to wear their lovely bracelets on a daily basis!
