I didn't know Cartier made this. It is gorgeous. Maybe it was custom work.

I just looked at it- looks like it was an authentic cuff (according to the seller) and then they had a jeweler add diamonds. The jeweler I bought my watch from says that people have been doing this more and more with watches and sometimes they are almost fooled by how identical the setting is. Definitely made me wary if I buy an estate diamond watch next time.

This is very common with rolex watches. I personally don't like diamond bezels but when I was looking, I came across this a lot with watches. Many have pieces or movements in them that are not authentic

Interesting, the cuff looks authentic just based on looking at my own. But definitely something to be careful of. I know most high end brands won't service with after-market work done to it. Can be an issue I agree.

Does anyone here have 3 Loves in rose, yellow and white?

I've had my yellow and white Loves (old style) for many years, they definitely have a patina. lol

I'm thinking of getting a rose gold, but was curious where I should put it, if I'm not going to get my oldies polished, just cleaned.

I wear the yellow first, then the white, do you think I should wear the rose after the white? I'd love to see pictures!
