The box. I compared it with my two other Cartier boxes. Looks the same.
There is the stamp, there is a store in Boca Raton, there is also the embossed Cartier seal on it. Feels exactly the same as my two other certs. No handwritten numbers... However...
Here is the receipt. Has his name on it, price looks about right for the white gold bracelet in 2005. Receipt looks good.

I know those are just fuzzy mobile phone pics. I will post more after I get back from San Francisco this weekend.
I have a pretty good feeling about this!
I will post tomorrow after I visit Cartier!

Looks like you've got a winner this time, I hope when you take it to Cartier it turns out to be the real thing, keep us posted & can't wait to see modelling picks.
OOOOO congrats! That one looks like a winner! I can't wait for modeling pics. Good luck! I hope all goes well at Cartier!
Well, with Tiffany's I usually go in and have them "check" the settings and stones, clean it, and ask for an insurance valuation on it. When they come back out with one and my piece cleaned and checked I pretty much assume it's the real deal! I did ONCE get up the nerve to say, "so it's all authentic?" but usually I'm too shy to actually say it! With the $16K tennis bracelet I brought a letter from the seller along with the original receipt (it helped that it was from the Bloor St. location, where I was bringing it in) and they asked to see the letter and were more than happy to transfer the bracelet to my name and give me insurance papers - doing that costs $50.
I'm honestly not sure I'd have the nerve to buy a Cartier and flat out ask them if it's authentic! People suggest having it cleaned or serviced...
... on the other hand there is NO shame in purchasing a gold bracelet second hand and they should appreciate that their pieces are so valuable and classic that they do change hands, so no one should be afraid of having it authenticated! I would say that I purchased it second hand and would like to have it serviced and pay for a new certificate of valuation (if you have to pay for it) for insurance purposes and they will tell you if it's not the real deal.
We shouldn't be embarrassed to do that but I know it's scary!The WORST would be to be told it was fake right there in the store...
I would be SO SCARED to ask straight out of it's authentic LOL. I think it's a good plan to bring it in to get cleaned - if they clean it, it's a sure sign it's real. My Tiffany SA told me that that's the #1 Tiffany spots fakes - people bring in their jewelry to be repaired and cleaned and they have to turn it away because it's not theirs!!! My stomach would be churning if I was waiting for them to clean/check my item! I have weak nerves LOL
Surfergirljen: I am going with your idea and gonna have then clean it or transferred to my name. I think that is a nice and indirect way to find out if it is real!
