I have a yellow gold small and have had absolutely no issues. Wear is the same as the wider classic. I sometimes wear it with my classic yellow gold, but lately I’ve been enjoying wearing it on my other wrist by itself. It is definitely a more delicate look. In hindsight I would have gotten it with diamonds because, as one person stated, worn with the classic they blend together and look like one wide bracelet. It is nice to be able to take it off when I want a change.

I have the thin with diamonds that I stack with a classic. I havenʻt had it over a year but so far, so good. I take it off on the weekends when I go to the beach but other than that it is on my wrist all the time with zero issues.

I have both the classic and the small and I prefer my classic much more. I find I only like the small stacked with something else and not by itself. I also find that I have more issues with the screw on the small than on my classic one. On mine the screw easily turns and has opened many times. Only reason I haven't lost it is because I normally feel it scraping my arm. The screws on the classic one does loosen sometimes when I wear it stacked but I normally check my screws once a week so I normally catch it but it doesn't loosen that often not like the small. If I could only have one bracelet, I'd take the classic or I'd much rather get the cuff if I need to remove it. I regret purchasing the small love especially since the regular JUC is on my wishlist. I should have held out and waited until I had enough funds for the JUC.

Something is wrong with your locking mechanism on your small. It should not pop open or be loose. You should have Cartier fix it.

+1 here, the small should be very secure, I check it all the time and never has it turned!

I've actually taken it to Cartier and they looked at it and said that it's still ok but to just monitor it and if anything happen to bring it back again and they'll send it out. That was earlier this year before the whole pandemic and I haven't been back since the only Cartier store here has really short hours now and I think it might be by appointment only too. I'm also afraid if I go in, I'll be tempted by something else too.

I thought so but my Cartier said it should still be fine and to just monitor it. I'll try to take it in again after my state reopens retail but the hours are really short now since the pandemic. Thanks for letting me know!

I have had the small love for over a year. Absolutely no issues what so ever. I take it off daily and it’s so easy to do. It doesn’t get scratched up bad and I honestly think depending on your wrist looks good in person alone. I wanted something more subtle and dainty and that I could take off by myself. Never regretted not getting the classic. Good luck on your decision!

I second what others have said! I have a rose gold classic and a white gold small and the small is worry free! The classic screws seem to loosen when stacked. Before I had the small, I had just the classic, I didn’t have as many issues with the screws loosening. But now it’s very annoying.
I also got different gold colors which I was glad I did since it helps it look like two bracelets.
Now I want the small pave... if only it wasn’t so expensive!

Hi,

I just wondered if you had any further problems with the clasp on your bracelet?

I’ve just bought a small love and mine does this too but I’m
Not local to a boutique to get it checked

Hello,
A question to everyone with the small love bracelet.
When the snap mechanism is closed and the screw is locked in lock position, is there a slight movement/click metal sound when you tap the bracelet from both sides or if you try to pull both sides slightly apart when the bracelet is locked? In other words, is it shut/closed tightly or since its a snap lock mechanism there’s some tiny wiggle room when you try slightly to pull it apart or tap it from both sides?

I just got my small love and the closure isn’t super tight, there’s some slight click sound when I do what I described above.

Please let me know how your small love bracelets are behaving. Thank you!

Do the clasps close tight on your small loves? There’s a bit of wiggle on mine and I wondered if this is normal of the clasp? x

I have 3 small loves and have had them all more than 1 year and have had zero issues! I have 1 classic love that has been sent in for repair once about 2 years ago and it is giving me problems again. It has fallen completely off twice. My SA offered to mail me a box to send it back in for another inspection. I think it’s just something that will continue to happen personally. Now I never go anywhere without a screwdriver and I check my classic love daily. The smaller versions are literally worry free. I wear all four together 24/7 and stack with others as well so it may be the vibrations that cause the screws to come loose on the classic love. The thin loves are completely unaffected by stacking or working out etc.. As far as scratches my thin loves get just as many wear and tear markings as my classic. I’ve come to accept them all! Good luck!
