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!

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)

I have some news- we mailed it in and the workshop just called and asked if $70 for the engraving is okay to go ahead. That is good, right? Meaning they were able to identify the bracelet and authenticated it? We went with engraving, but if we were to say not to engrave, that is still prove it's authentic, correct? :D

It's hard to know.... They may have given you the quote without closely examining the piece yet. I was going through that mind game too last week. Until you have the actual piece engraved, I guess you don't really know for sure... Liz, do you know if they examine it prior to giving the price estimate? Maybe you could call them back and ask if it's been checked yet for authenticity?

I see. We went with the engraving anyways. I guess we will just have to wait longer.

Is there anyone here from Toronto?

I have to get my 2 old style Loves taken off, and put back on, the next day and my favourite SA isn't around anymore. She was the only one could do it properly with no scratches from slipping screwdrivers.

I can go to Bloor or Yorkdale. Please tell me who is the best and knows what they are doing. Not all know what they are doing, they just think they do.

Im about to buy a Cuff. I rang Cartier in Melbourne. They only have wg and pg in sizes 16 and 17. I want yg. Takes two months to order. I ask regarding layby (lawayay). She said only 3 mos. When I layby my Love ring it was a six mos layby. I wonder if different SA say different things?? The SA name was Stephanie. Ill be going in next wk to try 16 and 17.

The boutique does not "guarantee" authenticity for pieces in general, unless you bought it there with the original authenticity papers. However, cartier won't work on a non cartier piece. If they gave you a cost estimate, they don't have a reason to believe it is non authentic. They were basically saying "were ready to work on this, we just need to confirm cost before we do".

Hope that helps and congrats on the good purchase!
