Dunno how much gold you'll rub off, my PhD is in Chemistry not material science. Did that once a week initially now every 3 months or so.
I ordered the Connoisseur cloths on Amazon, tried it. Wow
It’s basically back to new. I’ll have to discipline myself not to shine it more than every couple months, if that.
I wish they made a love bracelet screw driver as a necklace, my best friend's mom always thought about how romantic it would be if someone could screw your love bracelet on and keep the screwdriver on them as a piece of jewelry too.
I'd 100% would buy a screwdriver necklace, or maybe I'm just crazy
Has anyone else had this thought too?

It’s vintage, but Cartier has made it in past.
Maybe you can get it special ordered?
I am visiting family in Switzerland and popped into Cartier to replace a lost screwdriver since there isn't a Cartier in Minneapolis where I reside. The SA was very kind and gave it to me for free as some have noted. The screwdriver is definitely stamped Cartier.
Speaking of the screwdriver, anyone have multiples to be carried at all times? (One in handbag, one for bike rides, etc,
Not a good idea. Jeweler's cloth removes a bit of gold layer every time you use it. All fine from time to time but not daily and *not* with rhodinated Loves.
Yes, I'm very hesitate to use the above cloth on my Loves as well. I did use it on my Cartier earrings (the backs) because it is the only thing that would remove a thin layer to rid it of the tarnish that would not come out any other way.
This is probably similar to what Cartier would do to restore it to "new" (by buffing with a machine, which is more effective) had I sent it to NYC as advised by the SA; however, I saved myself the time and money by buying this cloth and doing it myself (as this cloth still got the job done).
I only use the cloth provided by Cartier in their kit because that is more of a cleaning cloth and not a polishing cloth.

Yes, I carry multiple screwdrivers, but not the Cartier supplied tool. I use a larger screwdriver since it's often impossible to get enough torque to loosen the screws with the little one. This is especailly true if the screws have Loctite on them.
