I'm really sorry you bought a fake online. Honestly, I couldn't tell it was a fake from the pictures you posted! That's how little I know about Cartier love bracelets I guess. Good job on doing your research and staying informed/educated as a wary buyer.
. . .like I've pined before, I don't wear bangles/bracelets but now I REALLY want a Love bracelet. Especially now that I read that they provide a charge card/financing on them??? HMMmmm. . .

@designerdiva: thank you! i got my refund back, it is just pending right now.
@kohl_mascara: i don't normally wear bracelets either, but the Love bracelet is very unique and i think it is simply beautiful!

I know khol... I seriously thought they were boring about a year ago before I started hanging out on this website and now I HAVE to have one! I just think they are so classic and the FEEL of them is pure luxury! I think I'll buy one if I can keep up my good shopping diet in April in Naples - yay!
I cannot remember where I first learned of the bracelet... I have always been aware of Cartier, but what I knew of them before I plunged in was the trinity ring, that they were always known for their exquisite diamond jewelry with cats, and that their watches were always thought highly of.
I discovered the love bracelet because I was looking for something to be "locked" onto me to show my love for my SO. Everything looked so... S&M, bondage-y, and I wanted something... pretty.
When I came across the Love bracelet, I was so impressed!
Something pretty, lockable, and NOT bondage-y!
And that is why I want it so bad.

. . . I must feel one!!! Oo Naples! Have a wonderful and safe trip! So you're going to buy the Love bracelet abroad?? That would be the ultimate souvenir LOL.
I found ANOTHER one. If this one isn't real, then I am a total idiot. Guy bought htis back in '05. He has the box, the cert, the original receipt... everything. I threatened him that I was going to Cartier in SF to get it authenticated, and I would be returning it promptly if it wasn't real. I will be getting it on Friday.
If this doesn't work out, then I PROMISE I will buy it from Cartier direct.

I've got my fingers crossed that this time you get the real thing, it sounds good & I would definately get it authenticated by Cartier at least you will know 100% that it's the real thing.
My friend was 100% sure that the one she was buying off of ebay was real. But it was fake. Someone can buy a real one and keep it for themself. Then they can buy a fake one from any of the hundreds of sites that sell pretty good copies. So they have a real receipt, box, card of authenticity, etc. Then they just switch it and send customer the fake with the real packaging. I would never ever buy such a high-ticket item off of ebay. How much are you saving? I genuinely wish you luck and really hope it works out this time. If not, it should be a lesson to ALL.
That's what I was going to say - I have a few of those pouches. They return your repaired jewelry in them.darkangel, really sorry for your experience
I can make out enough to tell the piece of paper is undoubtedly a receipt for some item(s) sent in to cartier for 'ultrasonic cleaning'. The words "service/repair" are in the heading. I don't read enough to say what items they are.
As for that red pouch it came in, I do know that's what cartier gives you when you send in your watches for servicing. They return your watch placed in one of these bags, with a service receipt that is printed out on stationary that looks just like the one you got. I get these all the time.
The certificate for a jewelry purchase from cartier looks nothing like that paper! And the packaging is nearly always the cartier red box.
That's really scary! How did the crook find a fake bracelet with the exact same serial number?
