Thank you. I have a new theory. I think some people buy the love pm plein and have a jeweller insert the diamonds in which might lengthen the bracelet by a few mm to accommodate the space for the diamonds. I hope I’m wrong but that would explain it. I’m going to Cartier and hope they will look up my pave bracelet I bought from a reseller. 🤞

For anybody who has the same question as many of in this thread. As a reminder I purchased the Cartier slim pave bracelet on a resale platform for €20.000 so under the retail but still a huge amount of money. The bracelet arrived and it was slightly larger (almost mishapened) when compared to my Cartier love standard width with four diamonds. I went to the Cartier boutique today and indeed the bracelet I purchased was an original Cartier but a simple one without diamonds and the owner had the diamonds insert afterwards !!! That was the cause for the change of length. So please be aware when you buy second hand anything with diamonds and if you can always check with your Cartier SA the serial number which will reveal the kind of the bracelet you are buying.

All of mine are same dimensions but I noticed that the screw motif circles on my 2020 regular love are slightly bigger than my 2024 love. It’s like the design changed so slightly, it’s almost hard to see it unless I examine them. Did anyone else notice this? They are both authentic from the boutique.

My 2020 is old locking mechanism and the screws are exactly same size as my 2023 new locking Love. I'm mentioning locking mechanisms, in case it comes up as the reasoning for possible difference.

My lock is the same size but i noticed the circle screw motifs on the actual are slightly smaller on my 2024 brand new bracelet. It was almost hard for me notice. Not sure if it’s just mine or all of them. In my photo, the top bracelet is 2020 and the bottom one is from 2024.

I'm saying all my screw motifs are the same size on both bracelets, they don't differ. I only mentioned locks since there was a change a couple of years ago.

Yes! The bracelets match up absolutely perfectly in my stack but I noticed the motifs were a hair larger on the old one. I assumed that maybe when they created the newest locking mechanism that they possibly made a new mold.
I’ll have to ask Cartier.

That's why I mentioned it, I have one of each, they're still identical. The new locking mechanism didn't change the appearance.
Mine are 202 and 20223, old and new!
