Hi! So I went in yesterday to purchase my third love. As I understood there are only two different screw sets for the love bracelets (10 diamonds and under). The SA I had spoke to about the supposed 3rd generation was not in, but the manager said he has not heard of this yet. (Although I would not discount what another poster here was told, as we all know some stores say one thing, while others say something completely different.)

The original is where the screws come completely out and the "2nd generation" is where the screws stay attached.

My first love that ended up being replaced was purchased in August last year. It was a 2nd generation, but the screws kept coming loose to the point the outer side would come
completely undone. I have had no problems with my 2nd bracelet or the replacement!

I was allowed to try on both rose and yellow gold, but ended up going with the rose gold to go between my two white gold 4 diamonds. They were all sent off to be engraved. I am excited because they will re rhodium when they do the engraving, so the whites will look like new!

I have mine insured through State Farm. It was as simple as the store printing up an appraisal for me, faxing it in and adding it my personal articles jewelry policy.

Hope this helps!.

They look great!! It looks as if they are all the same size. I feel like just wearing one is heavy especially in the heat. Do you find the weight of them comfortable? I have thought about a second one but not sure yet. The different colors look so nice on you! Enjoy!!

The price increase is Monday 4-21 so order or go to the boutique by Saturday. I'm hoping to get a second love also before the increase. Actually, I told my husband about it & hoping he gets it for me for Mother's Day.

Hi! Oh thanks for the heads up!! I was totally thinkin the same thing, it'd be my Mothers Day gift!
Ps. I love WG! I mostly only wear silver or white gold jewelry! Think it's be weird to get RG to stack?! Or would it be more weird if I got another WG! Hope that makes sense lol!!

I think either would look great. When I was in Cartier last month, the SA said that when they mix metals it's always white gold with rose gold.

Hi Lovelies!

I would like to share some great news! So my mom was in the JFK airport on Monday, and there is a Cartier Boutique there that is duty free. My mom knew I've always wanted a Love bracelet, so she purchased one there! BUT the best news is this: Apparently the Love bracelet had a 5% discount, so she actually purchased the rose gold Love for $6050. Now I just have to wait for her to come back from overseas...still didn't beat the price increase though, but by saving on tax I feel like I've made up for that lol

But the price increase won't happen until Monday...

Also, won't they tax her when she brings it back?

Oh I thought the price increase happened April 1? I'm not sure though...

As for duty free, I thought you only had to declare things that came from outside the US to be taxed for them? If she bought the item in the US, does she still get taxed upon returning?

No, the price increase will take place 4/21, so I'm pretty sure you got the cheaper price. I'm almost positive she has to pay upon returning, but maybe someone else can answer that here? Does anyone know?

Hmmm I read on some travel forums that the item has to remain in the country of arrival for it to be duty free, but she might get reduced duty if she brings it back to the US...I had no idea! But at least I beat the price increase then lol!

And, I thought there is also a monthly limit of $800 or something like that, that you can bring in. Ugh, who even knows? Either way, you're right! You beat the increase, and that's all that matters. Once the 10% increase takes place, it is going to sky rocket. And, tax will continue making it even more unaffordable since now tax will be counted on a higher price.
