Cartier price increase thread *please include your location*

[LuluBean14]

The first Love bracelets were not solid gold but rather silver and gold plated. This is probably why the price was $250.

Very good point. Back then the gold alone - as in our modern Loves - would have been roughly $200.

Does anyone know what the official percentage increase is?

I finally locked in an appointment to buy my 4 diamond Love on the 10th of may. I hope the increase stays away until then!

Looks like they were worn more fitted in the picture. I did a conversion to see what $250 would be now and it would be just under $2000 today. However we all know that the increase in price has been much more. My SA mentioned price increase mid-May.

Gold is over $1900.00 per ounce.

Gold is over $1900.00 per ounce.

There are 28.34 grams in an ounce. The Love bracelet in 17 weighs around 32 or 33 grams. Therefore if we use your $1900 per ounce than that would be worth $2,143.00. In the US the Love is going for $6900. That’s a nice mark up.

Thats if it was 24k
18k at 75% gold puts a raw material value around $16xx USD, but even when you buy boulion, you pay 10-15% on top of that raw just to get it into your hands.
Made into a bracelet, labour, marketing, wages etc. things to factor in before brand prestige is added.

Hi all - have any other Australians heard about a price increase for us? I was in store yesterday and my SA was unsure. Planning to make a purchase on 1 May.

Hi there, just wondering if they mentioned whether it is worldwide? Thank you!

my sa was the one who brought up the price increase three times! I didn't think to ask worldwide. Sorry that wasn't helpful!

May 9th is what I heard from SA at the Place Vendôme boutique. Could be only for the EU though.

 

[purseinsanity]

I was told by my SA that increase is on May 9 and will be 5% on almost everything.

What country are you in?

 

[sparklywacky]

My SA here in NYC insists that they don’t have the exact date for the price increase yet.

I feel like some SAs are playing along with the price increase rumors just so they can pressure their clients to panic buy, if that makes sense.
