Cartier LOVE *Bracelet* Discussion Thread!

[Fashionisto2]

Does anyone have experience with professional polishing through Cartier (not shining or buffing).

I have had my Love bracelet and have worn it every day for 10+ years. Recently added a new thin love to my stack and noticed how terribly scratched my Regular love is and wanted to get it back in nice condition. Not looking to do it regularly, probably just the once, but would love to see before and after pics, and any comments anyone has!

Will there be a noticeable difference when stacked with bracelets that haven’t been polished?

I have polished my thin love bracelet because I was planning to consign it when I purchased the regular love. It took about 4 weeks and if I remember correctly cost $350.
I still haven't consigned it and am keeping it for now as I wanted to be 200% certain I'll not regret selling it. It looks exactly like new, very shiny, not a single scratch. I actually regret sending it for polishing, because now I can't wear it until I decide if to sell or keep. I read you can only do it twice, any more than that and the screw motifes won't stand out. Attaching before and after photos.

Thank you sharing! I really appreciate it. Have you noticed significant changes to the integrity of the bracelet (screw design, rounded edges, etc. ?)

I haven't noticed, but now that you asked, I think the corners are very slightly less sharp. Maybe it's in my head though. I don't think that I'd be able to distinguish between a new bracelet and this one after polish.

Hi all

I just purchased a love bracelet 2nd hand. I never had a full size love so not familiar with it,

When I screw it “tight” it stops with the screw vertical but if I loosen it to make it horizontal, there’s a bit of wiggle in the two pieces. Is that normal??

Thank you!!

Try to screw it tighter.
I had the same problem as I got mine and was afraid to screw it too tight,but the lady at Carrtier Paris re-assured me that not to be afraid and screw it tight .

You can put a bit more pressure - yes but not too much as the screws can break. Happened quite a few times according to my SAs.

Hi, for my upcoming round birthday I was thinking to treat myself with a love bracelet. Now I need some opinions witch one would be the best match to my everyday watch. Would you go with a yellow gold or rose gold and second with diamonds or without ?

Thank's for your opinions and thoughts

The small version with diamonds or the small pave

I would not polish it. It is extremely overpriced if you send it to Cartier and it removes a layer of metal. You can get a cleaning cloth on Amazon that's just as effective and will polish it up like new.

Beautiful watch 🤩 I would go with YG with four diamonds so you can still see the iconic screw motifs of the love bracelet but has some bling in there to match your watch

Love that meteorite dial, so special. I agree with YG, prefer the Love bracelet without diamonds to enjoy all the screw motifs. I tried the 4 diamond but didn't like the diamond placement, too random. Of course just personal preference and diamonds would look very nice with your watch. The small pave Love would look amazing and then you get both diamonds and screw motifs 🤣

Hello everyone! I’m looking to get a regular love bracelet. I already have a small love bracelet in size 17 (wrist is 15cm). I like a loose fit. However, I’m wondering if the regular love bracelet fits tighter than the small love. I really love the fit of my small love but I’m worried that since the regular love bracelet is wider it will fit tighter somehow.

As anyone experienced this? Thank you so much!

We tend to all get the same size in both as it aligns perfectly that way. I have two regulars and a small all in size 16.

You should get it in size 17 also.

I have both on the same size. The regular one doesn't fit tighter, but it doesn't go as high up on the arm as the small love.

How exciting! I'm the same wrist size as you 15cm and both my loves are all in 17cm. I got the the small thin love 1st then only added the regular wider love, it does feels like it doesn't move around much as the thin love but that's because of the weight & it's wider but it does fits comfortably as the thin love & both perfectly aligned when stacked together.
