This forum assisted me in my latest purchase - yellow gold Cartier Love Bracelet (sm w/ 6 diamonds). I wanted to share my experience to those contemplating online orders. This is my first Cartier piece and although I have a boutique locally (Houston) I didn't bother setting an appt, when I realized I could order online. (For my next purchase, however, I might visit an actual boutique to get the entire Cartier experience 
.) I sized myself using the measuring tape Cartier provides on its website. My wrist measured roughly 16cm and at the suggestion of the Cartier website, I added 2cm for a loose fit, therefore ordering an 18cm in the sm Love. (In the attached photos, you can appreciate how far the bracelet falls on my arm vs. how far it falls onto my hand.) I placed the order February 5th and due to the shortage of 18s, my order wouldn't be received until February 25th. With the Texas freeze, understandably, my order was delayed and I received it on February 27th, instead. It was shipped via FedEx - label was created 02/25 and it was shipped out of Forth Worth, Texas and arrived in Houston for residential delivery 02/27. FedEx required signature for delivery, but because of Covid, the courier said as long as she hands it to someone 18+, no signature was required. The white box was secured and fastened with 4 cable ties. The package was an easy, tear-open box, labeled Cartier, inside. It came shipped with a Cartier bag, certificate of authenticity, receipt, FedEx return label and the Love bracelet, enclosed in its wrapped box with instructions and a reminder not to scratch while fitting, as it will not be accepted for returns/exchanges. Most importantly, the screwdriver was placed inside a small zip locked bag, which was safely placed in the traveling pouch within the red box to keep from damaging the bracelet during transport. (I had a mini heart attack when I opened the box to find the bracelet, but not the screwdriver, until I realized it was tucked inside the traveling pouch for obvious reasons 
.) It did not come with a cleaning kit, but I read somewhere on the forum I could request one via customer service. Would I order online again? Absolutely!
As for the bracelet -
. It's absoulte perfection. I went back and forth - regular Love vs. sm w/ 6 diamonds and I'm glad I stuck with my gut. I've read most people go for the regular Love, as the sm makes it seem they settled, or the sm Love w/ 6 diamonds isn't worth the difference in price... but as far as I'm concerned, the diamonds add just the right amount of sparkle - simply elegant! I plan on stacking in the future, but as for now, will appreciate this piece for what is is!
For future reference - thoughts/pics of the sm Juste Un Clou?
