Cartier LOVE *Bracelet* Discussion Thread!

[surfergirljen]

Hey there!
Yes I was one of the unlucky few who lost her bracelet (new style). The problem is the screws don't actually have to come all the way out for the bracelet to fall off, AND it can be mostly one screw that does it. In fact I think if one was really loose and the other was not perfectly tight it could still wiggle off. With the old ones, you could lose one screw completely and the bracelet would still stay on tight as long as the other one didn't ALSO come out completely. With the new ones they are easier to lose b/c they only really have to be loose, not lose a screw.

Hard to explain but yeah.... apparently it's not SUPER common but Cartier did tell me it was a "known issue" with the new ones. I have been wearing an "old" one for 3 years or so and it NEVER comes loose - my new lost one was only a few weeks old!!

I've worn mine, the one with the new screw system, since a year and a half ago. Happy to report that I have not had any problems since the bangle was put on when my husband paid for it in the boutique. I did allow the SA to tighten it with LockTight (I believe that's the name) as I intend to wear it 24/7. I've occasionally taken out the screwdriver to tighten it but had never noticed it coming looser/loosen. I love my Love and had no regrets.

Mine loosens occasionally. I get plenty of warning because there's a "grinding" sensation and noise. Tightening it on the go with a fingernail does the trick. I've had it 2 years.

Could someone clarify if the love cuff is discontinued already? I happened to go in my local cartier boutique today to try the love bracelet or cuff which I am debating between, but a sa said the cuff is discontined. Is this true? Wondering cus I still see it on cartier website. TIA.

That is not true. I've just put a deposit on one. Th cuff is very popular and it's always out of stock.

Thank you for your reply. I don't know why the sa said so. She could've just said it is out of stock..maybe she doesn't want me to have another option of the love cuff so wishes me just buying the love bangle ..hmmm.

Exactly. My SA as good as she is wanted to charge me the new price because she have to order the cuff. I have to kick up a stink as to get it for the pre-increase price.

I pm'ed you.

I've replied. Just ask for the manager and make sure you tell them how the SA misinformed you about the cuff being discontinued.

Ladies, may I present you my new jewelry member. The LOVE bangle. After 1 yr of lurking on eBay and got 3 fake ones, my hubby surprised me this on our 12 yrs anniversary. I didn't ask for diamond, just a plain yellow gold one but what the heck, I'll take this too

^Congrats! Looks good on you!

Here's the picture. .. I measured for an 18 but got the 19 instead since it is hot here so much of the year and I hate feeling constrained. If I ever lose all the weight I need to I may have to downsize, but until then, I'm over the moon!

Can I ask how large your wrist is? I am also debating between a 18 and 19.

THANKS!

Thank you. I think it does take a bit to get use to as I feel
It's really hugging I was gonna go exchange it for a 17 but my husband thinks that's how it should fit and it shouldn't roll around

Do you know what the post increase price will be on the cuff? I tried one on yesterday at the boutique and thought it looked really nice on. It left some red marks on my wrist when the sa removed it, but I think she pulled it off me at a wider point on my wrist so it kind of scraped the skin.
