It looks great and in a wearable-condition. Honestly you can’t not tell if the bracelet has been shortened. My bracelet was size 18 and it’s 15 now.
Surely Cartier won’t warranty it anymore. I think the warranty for bracelet is only 2 years, pls correct me if I am wrong. My love is 7 years old so I’m not worrying about warranty. But of course you can’t resell the bracelet because it’s has been repaired.
So true! my love are about 8 years old as well and I was thinking of getting them resize to 17 or 18 . Last year I had some issue with my clash bracelet lock and cartier offered to upgrade the screws of my love bracelets for free. I wish they offer resizing.
great info, I lost weight , I had originally bought size 18 and exchanged for 19, because I was feeling the side screws on my wrist, but now size 19 is super big, I'm a guy but this thing goes up and down all over my arm.. what are my options.. is the 30% to have Cartier re size correct, means I have to wait a few months? is there another option where I can pay and not have to wait??.. or might be better to just go with a good local jeweler and have it re sized.. but who knows if they do a good job ..
TIA

Best to call or speak to a Cartier SA. They can tell you how much it is. But i think they will have to melt your bracelet and make a brand new one. If thays the case, better to buy a new bracelet. You could sell your size 19 or just wear it and stack with other bracelets. Hope it works out!
I’d suggest waiting a year or 2 of maintaining weight before making a decision.
Also, do you ever intend on stacking?
I stack with a JUC small because I don't have a big wrist and some David Truman , but again I can turn the bangle around or go up and down and its very uncomfortable
Sorry to hear! Try and see your options in the boutique! Congrats on your weight loss!
This is just me but I am not a big fan of any alteration / modifications of any of my bracelets by a 3rd party. I rather sell it to pre loved market and put that money towards a new bracelets anyway the prices from the boutique and pre loved are not that far off. Also, there's no guarantee that the jeweler would do a good job and the possibility of getting it repaired by cartier would void it and down the road it will even be more harder to sell a modified piece. I say this because I had issue with one of my bracelet and cartier offered to replace all of my love bracelet screws for free even those that are older than 7 years that time.
I went to Cartier beginning of March to show them my JUC was to big and then they offered to have it resized for 30%. They didnt offer just to get a new one, and I didnt even ask. They said 20 weeks. Last week they said September because of Olympics. So probably 6 months. I would not have an outside jeweler do this. I would sell and repurchase if necessary.
