Hi, I am new to this forum but I like to share my experience of purchasing the cartier love bracelet today. My wrist measure 14.5cm and the SA recommended size 16 which fit me nicely. The SA mentioned some information which i never knew and i like to find out if that is true. Apparently, the new system (third generation love bracelet) do come in two screw version. I believe the second version is an improvement from the first due too many complaints on screw coming loose. The SA show me the different. There is a grove/catch on the connecting part which will still support the connection even when the screw came loose. In order to open the bracelet, she has to give the two screws a push. I did not manage to find the new version for size 16 so I have no choice but to get the older version before the price increase. Nevertheless, I still love my new buy :smile1:

This was most helpful and I was so excited when I read your post so I called my SA to see if this was the case. She said the only one that comes with the catch is the diamond pave one bc it is so expensive and not meant to be worn all the time and actually comes off without the use of a screw driver. I would love to know which SA is correct. Did she show you examples?

Yes as long as you put half or more down, then they can save it for you and no one else can buy it. The only reason why I didn't pay it in full was that I need to make my 30 day window since I won't be able to get to the store until may 17. I believe all retail stores do not accept returns. Only exchanges or merchandise credit. If you buy it from the online store, you can return it

Got it, that's good to know, thanks. All the best with your upcoming purchase!

Love!!! Can I ask how many cm did you size up? Love the way yours fits. Did you size up 1,2 or 3 cm. thanks!!!

Lizz - My wrist measures 14 CM (5.5 IN). I had to get a 16, which is the smallest size Cartier makes. Cartier says if you'd like it to be a tighter fit, go 1 CM up, if you would like a looser fit, go 2 CM up. I was forced to go 2 CM up, and I would've went for a 15 CM if they created any. However, the 2 CM up is not that bad, I really love it! The bracelet goes a TAD bit shy of half my arm :)

Yay!! Sooo..I finally decided to just take the plunge before the price increase and join the Love bracelet clan! Much thanks to everyone's droolworthy pictures and information. :D. I was afraid the 16 would still be too big since my wrists are super bony, but it fit perfectly. Whats interesting is some people had mentioned being able to special order a size 14, but my sa said she hasn't heard of that before.

The special order is a 40% price increase from what my SA said. I think 16 CM will look good on you :)

Yes LIZZ.
The SA show me examples of size 17 YG plain love with new version and 16 YG plain love with old version. She did a demonstration. When the screw is unscrew, the size 16 will came off. But for size 17, it did not came off and a little push at the screws is required to release the bracelet. The SA is helpful enough to go thru all the size 16 they have in the store (about 6) because I wanted to have the new version but unfortunately, not all bracelet came with the new 'catch'. In the end I bought a size 16, hubby put on for me and SA secure it with loctite.

WOW I hope this is true. The fact that you saw it and they both were plain gold makes me believe you but I wonder why no SA seem to know about it. May I ask what store you were at? I want to call them to see if they have a size 19.

Has anyone else heard about this new love closure?
