Having issues pulling the trigger on the Love Bracelet

[dove221]

Alrighty, so I want the Love Bracelet. However, I made several Cartier purchases these past few months due to Pandemic shopping. I also want the Tank Solo. My birthday is around the corner and I thought that I should go with the watch to justify my purchases since it’s nowhere close to the cost of the bracelet. I am worried the price is going to increase again. I can’t seem to pull the trigger I also do not want the thin bracelet because I will still end up wanting the regular size. Do I use the money I would’ve put into the watch and just buy the bracelet? HELP! I have an appointment with my SA Saturday

1. why not look into reputable sites that sell authenticated, gently used cartier accessories of all kinds? (especially with the love bracelet, as it's so popular)
2. as for bracelet vs, watch--a quality watch = a purchase you may very well have for the rest of your life. think about price per wear, especially if you see yourself wearing it as your day-to-day timepiece

When you say you thought you should go with the watch to justify your purchase, justify to who? As long as you can afford it, there should be no need to justify anything. Buy what you like.

If you buy the watch because it feels like a more worthwhile purchase (maybe you need a watch but don’t NEED a bracelet?) the only one judging here is you! It seems like you want the bracelet more, so I say go for it

In my view an extremely biased question to be asked here. Ask in a pet forum whether to get a pet? Expect a neutral answer?

If you aren't absolutely sure forget it. I made big = expensice mistakes on that, even with Cartier.

Not sure how it’s a biased question. In a pet forum, I am sure people could ask which type of pet they could choose option wise. I want to purchase both pieces and I am simply asking which purchase should I make first. I was thinking the watch but then thinking maybe I will just repurpose that spend towards the bracelet especially if the price may go up.

Regardless, if you did not care for my post or maybe understand it- you could’ve kept scrolling. I find most people on here very kind and helpful which is why I asked.

Love your response! Thank you! This is helpful. The watch does feel like a worthwhile purchase and I do want it. However, like you said- I seem to want the bracelet more

I like the price per wear thought here to help decide thank you!

I would go for the bracelet first. My thinking is there isn't another love bracelet out there but there are other watches ~ You can always wear a different watch for the time being (until you purchase the tank) but you can't just wear another love bracelet (if that makes sense). I think you'll know when you go to the store ~ one of them will pull at you more!

I get it, it’s hard to take the plunge on a $$ purchase and I too sometimes feel like I need a reason so I feel less bad about it. As long as you have the means, pick the one you like more and don’t look back.

Love it! Thank you! I do have other watches and you are right there isn't another love bracelet!

You completely get it! I purchased the small JUC, a thin love, a thick love and a small JUC ring within a matter of months. That's why I keep going back and forth on taking the plunge. If I hadn't purchased all of that- it would be more of a no brainer. My SA had me take some pics with it on last time- I should share those with you guys! It is very pretty!

It won't let me edit: I purchased the small JUC, a thin love ring, a thick love ring and a small JUC ring

Get the Love! I have the classic love and also a Cartier watch. The watch is beautiful but the love is just so special

Thanks ! I think so too! Which watch did you have?

I love the love bracelet so much and if you really want it, you should get it! My parents always told me to buy watches from watch brands and not jewellery brands which is why I was never big in Cartier watches. I got the juc ring back last summer on a whim (after wanting it for years) and I’m so happy I pulled the trigger. So, if you’re looking for a sign to buy it, here it is ‍♀️
