Ladies does anyone have their Cartier love items ensured? If so, how does an appraisal work for a branded piece if it's new?
I just insured mine and actually went to cartier with my receipt from a year ago and asked them to send me an appraisal with the new price and they did within a week and brought it to my insurance and it was easy! well worth it less then 100 bucks a year
 
It's more the shiny and glittery look of gold that I love ... As long as it doesn't look more Matt grey if that makes sense ?

Its definitely a shiny finish, its not a mat finish. Although all pieces get a bit less shiny over time due to patina/scratches, scrapes and even fine marks from rubbing against shirt sleeves.

WG in its natural state is gray in color. When its very white its usually because its been plated with rhodium (which over time can chip off or wear away). I actually like the gray color of the WG without diamonds. I also like that it never needs re-plating. If you get a WG love with diamonds then it is plated with rhodium.

Same here....my spouse emailed Cartier and they sent a valuation report as required by my insurer.
(Insurance co would not accept the sales paperwork only., despite my Love being new.) the report took about 10 days.

Do they charge for the appraisal? Do you think Cartier in NJ will provide an appraisal for a love cuff I purchased in the St. Maarten boutique?
 
I am saving for a Love bracelet at the moment. When I purchase it I don't intend to take it off more than occasionally, but can anyone tell me if it's possible to put back on securely on your own? I live by myself now and won't always have someone on hand to help with the bracelet. I wonder if this will be an issue?
 
The shine is all I care about , my plain yg love is still very shiny especially in sunlight this is what I love about gold :)
I'm still debating whether my next love will be a yg cuff , rainbow rg , rainbow wg or another plain yg or plain wg
Decisions ....

I take my love on and off all the time. Place bottom half of bracelet on and rest your arm on leg, then put top half on and tighten screws while arm is still resting on leg!!!
