I received an email March 4th from Cartier Relations Center. It read in part, The much improved version 3 Love bracelet was created to prevent losing the screw as with the previous version 2. This version was improved in 2013. I also spoke with a SA earlier today who said that Cartier is recommending that the screws be periodically checked and tightened if need be. As much as I'd like to replace the bracelet that fell off my wrist and was lost; spending 10,800 dollars on a new Love only to worry about and tighten the screws isn't something I will do.

Yes, the SAs are Cartier have been told to tell people to periodically check the screws on the bracelets. Also, some have recommended loctite to keep them from loosening. I know some people seem upset by the idea of using loctite, but its actually used by several high end watch companies to keep the screws in the removable sizing links of the watch bracelets from loosening and coming out over time.

Insure your bracelet and then you don't need to worry. I always insure jewelry or watches that have a significant value. Wishing you luck with whatever you decide.

I just this email from Cartier.

Thank you for the interest that you have expressed in Cartier.

In response to your inquiry, please kindly note our current version Love bracelets were introduced into our Collections in approximately 2011.

We trust that this information meets your needs and remain at your disposal for any further assistance.

I'm not trying to be rude.
I don't recall an updated version of the love bracelet.


I think what she means is the current version (the screws don't come out) came out around 2011, in the msg she didn't state an updated version of the bracelet.
 
My wife has three Loves, each purchased at a different time. A type 1, 2 and 3. We didn't want to take chances and used LocTite on all of them, now the screws don't budge. Why chance it!

When my love ring went missing, luckily I had it insured by Allstate and they were absolutely wonderful. I was really stressed out only having it for like 10 months, but they replaced the entire purchase and exceeded my expectations as an insurance company. No one wants to loose a special piece of jewelry but having a good company like Allstate should at least give you peace of mind should something unfortunate happen.
 
My love was getting loose just about every day, I thought I banged it too much on my dominant hand. Then I unscrewed it and screwed it again and no more trouble. The last time was actually this SA from cartier who closed the bracelet, she was sloppy now that I think about it.

Thank you. I know all about the current version that came out in 2011 where the screws don't come out. Which is why I sent an email to Cartier is see if they would mention the update in 2013 that has been mentioned here.
