it's good that it's thick, given the price we pay for it
regardless of the bracelet size, it still costs the same which technically sux for those with small wrists (like me) because there's definitely less grams in gold but you pay the same price. ack.
You can always take it for a polish at any Cartier Boutique (I dont know how much they charge) and it will look as new, but as my SA recommended not to do it so much, because when it get polish gold will be removed. I have mine for a couple of years with small scratches but still looks gorgeous
you don't even need to take it to cartier to polish.
since i don't live near a cartier boutique, i take mine to my locally trusted jeweler whom i have been dealing with for years (bought my original e-ring from them before we got engaged).
i have done this twice now in the 2.5 years that i have had mine.
since i work on the computer all day long, it gets scratched a little too easily for my taste, and so i just take it to my jeweler for a polish and i swear, it almost looks brand new. not only is this service free of charge, but it's done within 10 minutes. unlike cartier that has it for a few weeks, and i believe they charge $85 or more just to polish it.
sorry, but it's gold, whether or not it has the cartier name is ridiculous to me because at the end of the day, it's still a solid gold bracelet that any jeweler can polish right away—FOR FREE!
enjoy it!
mine is rose gold, but all of my jewelry is white gold and platinum (and my watch is stainless steel). i specifically wanted either yellow gold or rose gold so it stands out from the rest of my jewelry. i specifically didn't want it to match.
im going to sound dumb here but what is a cartier love bracelet?
i looked it up on the website but it had so many different ones. which is the original? the one with diamonds?
and how much does it go for?

See.....if this bracelet had diamonds in place of the decorative screws around it, then I may be slightly more interested
Wonder if they make a solid gold chastity belt.......!
there are love bracelets made with diamonds. you should check out the cartier website.
the original one is the one with the screws. all the diamonds/gemstone embellishments came later. plain rg and yg love bracelets are priced at 3,950. wg is slightly higher and platinum is the highest. you can find out the prices on the cartier website. hope that helps
I've seen them thanks!
I've been thinking......and while the story and sentiment behind these is lovely, I'd personally think these would be way more special and unique if each bracelet came with it's own special lock/screw mechanism soley for THAT bracelet. Each one would be truly one-of-a-kind.
The fact that anyone can open it with a regular slot screw driver ruins it for me somehow and defeats the purpose....in my opinion (which I hope I don't get shot for)

I would like one with a special lock too. I think a key made in the shape of the Cartier logo would be cool.
i think that's a great idea, but can you imagine if you lost that key and needed to remove it (surgery, etc.)? talk about a nightmare. especially for someone like me that doesn't live close to a cartier boutique (i believe the closest one is aspen, which is like 4 hours away), that would be a little inconvenient.
the fact that you get your own special screwdriver (even though it's only gold plated), i think is a pretty nifty idea all by itself. but if you lost it, you can still remove it without the hassle of rushing to your nearest cartier boutique to have it removed.
Some logic would have to be put into it like say, having TWO keys.....similar to that of a safe-deposit box!
i'm totally with you on this. the fact that there's only one or two keys of its kind will most certainly mean that i will lose it
that's just how i roll....

How dare you!
