Cartier LOVE *Bracelet* Discussion Thread!

[pamela78]

Don’t use loctite. I used the purple loctite. I just went to Cartier on Tuesday to have them remove my bracelets. They had to completely strip my screws to get them off. It took 5 different people trying and over an hour of attempts. Cartier in Vegas put loctite on them to stop them from loosening in May- big mistake. The have been sent in for repair to get the new locking mechanisms- which should solve all loosening problems. Total nightmare.

I have had to use Loctite on my first bracelet which I got in 2012 but its v easy to take on & off. Cartier told me to use it (tiniest amount) after I thought I lost it coming home from Miami. Luckily found it in my luggage. If you don't ever take it off then you wont need it but before my trip they polished & plated it for me, then I found out that can lead to the mechanism coming loose. I feel bad but I did lose it a little as my SA for not warning me about this, as I had it for 6 years & only had this issue after a repolish. They said when I was away i would have used tanning oil which made it slip off. So just watch out for it loosening if you send it in to be polished. Never again.

Hi All!
Am planning to buy the JUC and love bracelets and I watched some YouTube review videos. Majority of them indicated that these bracelets open, unhinged and fall off after few months.

Has this happened to anyone!? Is this a common problem ? Thanks

Never to my JUC, only to my love after I sent it to cartier to repolish it (6 yrs after getting it) they said it can happen & told me to use a tiny bit of locktite

Wow! So glad you found it! I haven’t taken mine off since my SA put it on and actually have an irrational fear of taking it off that it might start to loosen. My husband drove me to my MRI in the event it had to come off and I needed help. It could be stuck or not - no idea.

Hello! I watched this video

Where she says the clasp came undone on her JUC And the screw became loose after frequent use on her love bracelet .

Just checking if the same happened to others

So good news if you buy one brand new, they have done an enhancement to the newer screw designs. I guess they had a lot of people experience the same thing with the bangle just coming off.

I have been doing a lot of research before getting something so expensive to ensure I don’t lose it.

I don't believer her.

I don't believer her.

Oh really my SA said the same thing about the enhancement, and that all new bracelets have it.

Yes, but there no TWO clicking enhancements afaik and it did not work our for me so I had to have it depite of the new mechanism

do you find stacking all of them is comfortable? what size is your wrist vs the bracelets if you dont mind me asking

Update, I’ve since added a RG small Love too. It was strange at first but then I got used to wearing them all together. I’d take the JUC off at night though. The other issue was the bracelets overlapping.
I’ve since removed them all save for the classic Love and just add the small Loves from time to time. Hope that helps!

So here’s my WG Love Bracelet in size 20 after a whole year of wear! Holding out hope that Cartier will release the Menotte one day again! I don't baby it, it bangs around on stuff and I just shrug it off. I like the worn-in look so scratches don't bother me.

thanks kl

Thanks, I’ll persevere. And no, you are not blind. No diamonds. Didn’t know about that and apparently neither did she

Thanks to your encouragement I started wearing my WG love bracelet more but couldn’t adapt. A friend was selling her rainbow RG love that I always had an eye on and asked her to lend it to me. Surprise, it’s not itchy and nearly no indentations marks (same size). Sold my WG love, bought the rainbow and now even added a small RG JUC since the regular looked quite bulky on me. Couldn’t be happier. Now looking on having a jeweller make me a kind of Etincelle bracelet with rainbow sapphires. I love the pop of colour on my wrist and after that who knows, maybe an Ecrou or clash. Waow this bangles are addictive

I LOVE the pink sapphire bracelet. I missed the boat when they were available, naively thinking they always would be. Enjoy, it’s gorgeous!

Thanks! If it wasn’t for the rainbow I would have gone for a plain love since I feel the diamonds don’t really pop in this model (I have the love ring with 3 diamonds and I don’t really notice them shining so much). But the coloured gems are totally worth it for me. Unfortunately the rainbow is quite complicated to find, I asked repeatedly at my shop if they could do a global search with no luck in my size although it seems some are still available.

Great find, so pretty! I hope they make other limited bracelets like it.
I love the Clash, it and the Ecrou were on my list until I tried them on, the Clash stayed on and moved up lol
Ecrou fell off the list, I was bummed as I so appreciate it on others!

I really love the rainbow LOVE and have even thought about looking on eBay or places like that for one in my size, but I swore I wouldn't get anymore (I just got the small RG LOVE to stack with my regular YG LOVE). Now I'm tempted lol
