The more text cartier looks normal for a 1993 but the script cartier looks weird to me. Never seen one that strong. But I don't see them too often. The screws are the right style for that model but it's hard to tell the size by photo. Clearer photos of the inside of the bracelet would help.

Hello there, it's nice to have a SA hanging out there :)

My aunt bought this and she went to the boutique to have it checked, the SA said it's not in the system in US but it might be from Asia or other part of the world, since they only document sales in the States. Do you mind having a quick look here at the stamps? It's pretty heavy and not magnetic. Thank you a lot! :smile1:

Can you take your own photos of the inside? The SA you spoke to is correct. We can't see things purchased out of the country. Nor does cartier authenticate pieces. However, they also will not work on a non authentic piece. If you want a better bet, since you already own the piece you could send it to NY for polishing or engraving. They'll return it no work done if it's non authentic. Taking it for a quick clean in the boutique isn't the same.

Thanks. I will ask her for the pics. Wondering if you'd know more about engraving- Will SA take in the item for service without receipt or any documents? Will Cartier charge by letter- ie. will it be free of charge? And how long would it take in the US? Thanks again!!!

I JUST had it done last week… I bought a pre-owned Love from Ebay and sent it to the Cartier workshop in NY- I did not send it with any of its documentation, although I do have it from the seller. When I first called cartier, I was told that it would cost $70.00 for the engraving service but that the jewelers working on it would be in touch with me to give a more accurate price quote. Then, after sending it in for engraving, I got a follow up email from the Cartier rep that was assigned to my piece that the engravers went ahead and engraved my love for me free of charge! Not quite sure why? Maybe because they could see from my engraving it is for our 10th anniversary and they were just being kind? NO IDEA but I was thrilled! I am also relieved that they found it to be authentic and now I can rest assured and proud that I saved myself soooo much money!!! Woo hoo!

Wow. Congrats!! That's such great information! Thank you!

Are you in NYC so you just went to the workshop directly or your local SA mailed it to the workshop? And did they tell you time and location of purchase etc after your engraving service?

Thanks again!!!

I wen to to the boutique today. I looked at the plain one in PG for the first time. The dark pink hue was amazingly beautiful, which could be enjoyed more without the diamonds, perhaps... The all diamond one was of course beautiful! It looked nice with my JUC, but I did not like it with my diamond tennis bracelet. Even when I wore then on each hand, I really looked too much!!! To me, the most important piece is my DTB. I am still thinking... :thinkin:

I had the plain P/G before I ended up with 4 dia W/G. I only traded it because I already had something in P/G, Perlee Clover, and mostly wear W/G and Plat. I still have a photographic memory of that P/G on my wrist, and still think it was the prettiest of the three I tried. If u have dia JUC, and DTB, the simplicity of the plain might be just the right, understated, touch.

Thanks perleegirl! I really loved the plain PG on me! So, I totally understand your point. But, I decided to keep my Perlee Signature in PG. I am not sure if I need two solid plain gold bracelets in PG...

As you said, the simplicity of the plain one is just the right when I wear JUC or DTB. But, I still cannot decide. To my knowledge, no one seems to regret about their purchase of the 4-diamond, but some of the plain owners are regretting that they did not get 4-diamond instead of the plain... I am still thinking...

Okay! I forgot that you have the signature Perlee. So yes, the 4 dia
P/G would be gorgeous! And remember, the Loves with diamonds are a tiny bit thicker in order to hold the stones, so just that much more luxurious!
I'll end up with same duo, in W/G, as I intend to get a signature too.

No, I'm actually in Minneapolis but when I called the 1-800Cartier number, they instructed me to send the bracelet to the NY workshop, insured, etc…. We do not have a Boutique in my state…..The 1-800 representative was very nice and followed up with detailed email instructions. I sent in a description of how I wanted it engraved and in which font (which a SA in Las Vegas helped me with on one of our travels) . Upon finishing the work, I did not receive any other information about my love bracelet in terms of when and where it was originally purchased. Is this what you mean, Bougainvilier? Although I do know from the date on my authenticity card that the bracelet was purchased in 2009. It's the old screw system (which I also was purposely looking for to avoid the current issues of falling off bracelet)
