Cartier LOVE *Bracelet* Discussion Thread!

[einseine]

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.

Thanks perleegirl. Yes, I used to have both the 4-diamond one in WG and the plain one in YG, and noticed the difference in the thickness!

Oh, you are planning to add a signature, too! Perlee Diamodn Clover X Signature will be the best combo, I am sure!!! By the way, do you wear your gorgeous diamond clover one most every day??? If you feel the clasp has loosened with every day use, check it out at the boutique. If you use it knowingly until the closing system did not work, as I did!, it will take some time to repair it!!

Would you wear the love braclet if you were in the medical profession (MD)? Or is the cuff better? Any one here in the med filed with the love braclet?

I'm in the medical profession. I have the cuff, I wear it 24/7 but feel better that I can remove it anytime, if necessary. I've been tempted to get the full bracelet to stack, but my SA did say that if I were to remove it often, that it may affect the screws, so I've decided to stick with my cuff (and JUC!)

I actually debated between the cuff and full bracelet for about 2 years!!! kept going back and forth. haha. almost pulled the trigger on the cuff but ended up getting the full bracelet. for me, the bracelet was more comfortable (bracelet more circular in shape vs. cuff more oval and has two ends that can potentially poke you like if you are sleeping on your arm). I also liked the symbolism behind the full bracelet.

I've had the bracelet for almost a year and it has been fine for me at work. I don't really notice it most of the time. I just push the bracelet higher up on my forearm when I want it more out of the way (when writing or for procedures etc) I think it also depends on your specialty. For example, I wouldn't recommend the full bracelet for a surgeon since they have to remove jewelry/watches before scrubbing and getting in their sterile attire. for most other specialties, a full bracelet should be fine.

I'm a med onc fellow so the only bedside procedures I do are occasional paracetesis or thoracetesis + some random LPs. I wear the bracelet & take it off only if really necessary

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)

Thanks blumster for your detailed information. I'm in Boston but my aunt who has the bracelet now isn't near a store as you are. It was super helpful to know you can just call the line and get this done. Thanks!!

Yea I was just curious since hers doesn't come with a certificate.

Huge congrats on the 10 year anniversary by the way!!

So Ladies, I think I am finally to get one of these. I have spent the last few days looking at various used ones online. I have noticed that some of bracelets with the new screw system almost seem to have a black writing in the text. But this is not apparent on all of them....I have attached examples of the more common ones I see, and lastly the black which I am 99% sure is authentic. Can anyone tell me if I am on the right track? Also - does the order of the markings inside the bracelet matter - or do they change those often enough? I would like that everything with the new screw system would be the same, no? ALso for any other ladies looking - Ive come to find out that alot of the bracelets that have authenticity stamps from Narita Terminal are fake...seems like someone has a stamp. Very good replicas - but replicas nonetheless..

My bracelet is the old screw system and it's about 4 years old.. I have a 4 diamond YG and the markings are in a different order from the new one, so it's safe to say they do change! You can ask Liz, as she is a Cartier SA, and she can give you more info!

Thanks for the info! I have never noticed any problems with the clasp, but next time I am in a VCA boutique I will be sure to have it checked. Although I did purchase Clover to wear everyday as my signature piece, in reality, it just wasn't practical. The LOVE is the perfect everyday piece, and now I just add my Perlee when I want the extra bling.
So now you are going to buy a size 18 LOVE? I am curious what your wrist size is? Also, What size is your JUC? Is the JUC difficult to put on/take off?

Does anyone know the price of the love bracelet in Monte Carlo?

Hi Perleegirl! Yes, I am going to buy a size 18 Love. I wore my size 17 Love for 2 and half years. It was not bad at all. But, I started wearing my JUC, which is size 17 because they did not have the one with diamonds in size 16, I realized JUC was much more comfortable and I needed to have a bigger Love. At first, it was very difficult to put on JUC myself. Even now it takes time for me to put it on my right hand, but you can soon get used to it.

Hey so did you bring this to the Boston boutique to send to NY? I thought I saw something suggesting it but I wasn't sure. Just so you know I've never seen a love without a letter in the serial :/ hopefully you'll know soon depending on what the workshop says!

The text of the serial number on the WG is a different font than I am used to seeing. But yes the bracelets can have text in different spots! Even with the same screw system. Cartier is now putting serial numbers on both sides of the new loves that still have the new screw system and they hadn't done that in the past. When I go in tomorrow if I have time I'll try and make a list of the markings and post it.
