I am just wondering do any of you have a mark of the bracelet on your arm when you wake up due to the fact that the bracelet rolled up during the night and stayed there? It's really bothering me because the mark stays hours and won't go away. It's also itchy!!!

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?

I don't take it off very often, but you get used to taking it off or putting it on yourself. Its not a big deal.

Does anyone have a platinum love? I haven't seen a picture of one on this thread. I wonder how much of a color difference ths is between the platinum and WG.

Depends on if you are talking plain WG or WG with stones. WG without stones is much grayer and darker than platinum, since they do not plate the WG (without stones) with rhodium (which is a very white precious metal). A WG Love with stones is tough to tell from platinum because then they plate the WG to make it very white...so it does look a lot like the platinum...however, the difference is the platinum one feels much heavier than gold.

Yes, I've had that happen. Not a big deal to me. The mark goes away fairly quickly. I've never had it become itchy.

It leaves a mark sometimes but never red or itching
I only get itchy marks from other metals I'm allergic too
The love has never made me itch
Maybe you allergic to it?

Some people are allergic to the nickel content in gold. My mother-in-law had to have all of her gold jewelry plated in platinum because she was getting a rash from it. That seemed to solve the problem.

I am not getting red or rash from it. But it's a deep mark and when I touch/scratch, I feel itchy. I doubt it's an allergic reaction but it's bothering. Thank you for sharing ladies. Maybe I will have it checked up if it ever gets red

They did not charge me. I went to Short Hills no questions asked I told them with the price increases I needed the latest replacement. Worth a try!

Thanks. My husband bought me the love ring from Short Hills for Christmas. So since that purchase is recent in their systems I will bring my cuff and paperwork in and ask for an appraisal. I'm paranoid about losing the cuff so I think I will insure it. Happy New Year!

It's sounds like it's to small. Why don't you go to a store. And show them what's happening maybe you needed the next size, I hope this helps you. I'm sorry to hear about your problem. I hope it all works out for you.

Hi ladies, to follow-up on this topic in case it's helpful for anyone...
I visited the madison boutique today to obtain the appraisals and the gentleman directed me to the 5th ave store. I went to 5th ave and the lady said that they do not do appraisals, only insurance valuation so I told her that's exactly what I need. I was charged $100 for each item. The associate told me that it would be in the mail by the end of the month.

Hmmmm. It must depend on how recently the purchase was made.
I was not charged for my evaluation that was requested 3mo after purchase.

I'm not sure? One of the bracelets was purchased right before christmas (gift from my boyfriend :D)
Honestly, I didn't find the associate to be very helpful so I didn't bother to ask her about the fee and when it would be waived. At first she told me that Cartier does not do appraisals and then I told her I was informed otherwise. Then she offered the insurance valuation which is what I needed. She didn't even offer to clean the love that i've been wearing for close to 10 months now!
Looking at the invoice the charge is 100 per item but my card has not been charged yet.

If I don't make it to the Short Hills boutique this weekend due to the pesty snowstorm I'll call on Monday. Perhaps I'll even call St . Maarten where I bought it.

I was not charged for my insurance evaluation. I handed them my original receipt and they said we will mail you a new evaluation and it came to my home in a week. No questions asked. My love is a year and a half old.
