Cartier love bracelet resizing/reproduction options

Can confirm it's 30% of the current price.
I took advantage of this and was able to leave with the new size the same day ~ basically it was an exchange.
Curious to know if this exchange of 30% applies only to the same model? What if say you wanna exchange for a Love with diamond (from a Love plain)? Or an entirely different range?
 
It did not take 6 months. I was Quoted 24 weeks for the JUC and it arrived and I picked it up in about 12.
My two Loves were quoted 20 weeks. My plain love took 16 weeks and my 4 Diamond took 20 weeks. I opted to pick both Loves up at the same time which was at about 22 weeks.

Remember, once the estimate came back, I was given the option to pay the 30% to immediately swap my Loves for brand new ones from the boutique instead of waiting for the reproduction to be done. Not sure this would be offered at every boutique. I opted for them to be remade.

When you opt for the reproduction, they are actually being remade so you are getting a brand new bracelet with edges crisp, not rounded. They melt down the gold from your bracelet and use what they can and add whatever is needed. At least that’s what they say. They could just be giving you a premade bracelet that hasn’t been stamped with serial numbers yet. ;)

Sorry this is OOT but I just wanted to say that this is just the dreamiest stack + outfit ever. All the cream/white gold colours melting together with the soft yellow gold tones across your jewellery, nails, bag, scarf, and dress(?), to die for. It's all so beautifully well put together. White+gold metal mixing and dressing done so well. Thank you for sharing this image (and wouldn't mind if you shared more), this is the aesthetic I love and want to have :love:

And thank you for sharing the helpful information on resizing.

Wow! Thank you so much for the compliments. You are correct, it is a dress! ;)

I’m glad my post has been helpful in regards to resizing.

I have this suspicion but of course correct me if I am wrong.
As this resizing service has no published rate, and it’s true that it varies among countries/stores/SAs, would it be actually SA’s discretion to quote “either the baseline or marked-up”?

I presume there may be no incentive for SA to quote the base of 30%.

does this even make sense?
 
Has anyone had CArtier “reproduce” their jewelry. I wrote on TV is board previously about pain from my bracelets. I purchased them in 2020 when stores were not allowing customers to fry on actual jewelry, or at least my boutique was not. I was reassured several times my bracelets were the correct fit. I have developed extreme pain in my wrist that goes to my shoulder. I have had to have scans done and my orthopedic hand and wrist specialist informed me that my bracelets have caused me to develop Wartenberg’s Sydnrome which causes neuropathy of the medial nerve of the wrist. Basically, the bracelets are compressing the nerve and I have to begin weeks of therapy. He basically said I can’t wear hem anymore unless I can get them bigger. I reached out to my SA and she informed me that the only option is to send them in for an estimate of the cost of reproducing both bracelets in a larger size. Has anyone had this done and have an idea of the cost? My boutique is 2 hours away and I’m guessing the price of having them remade will be substantial. I’m wondering if I’m just better off trying to sell them.
 
im sorry to hear you are in pain. Perhaps wait until you are well into physical therapy before coming to any costly decision. Just in case you decide that you would like to forgo bangle bracelets entirely or change to something else. I hope you feel better soon
