In total agreement! For what it’s worth, the gold and diamond contents are really insignificant compared to the price. The high price should includes branding, service and design! Putting glue on jewelleries clearly shows it’s a design flaw and makes it so unglamorous!

Fortunately, I don't have a problem with mine. But I agree wt the statement above. I can't believe this has been an ongoing problem for years and yet Cartier still hasn't fixed it!
The problem with the screw system is that the screws are too shallow. If Cartier added about two more threads, that would probably solve the problem. In the mean time, you can use Loctite 222. That is jeweler’s strength. You have to order it online. The tube is red, but the Loctite is purple. Any of the other strengths of Loctite will cause the screws to seize up, and you will not be able to turn them.
Im sorry to hear you lost your love! My first love bracelet is from 2014 so is the new screw. I met a lady on summer vacation and she had 7 loves all on the same wrist and she told me they had come loose and had fallen but in places where she could find them, like the bed and she carried the screw everywhere in her wallet. She lives in another country so not sure the glue is an option for her. She didn't seem too concern about it and was going in the sea with them, hope she still has all of them! And I agree the glue is not the ideal solution!
Hi all, i have been looking at posts and it seems that almost 40/60 on screw issues. i have to screw mine almost every week. i got my last 2014 and only started using them again last month lol. i don't know why i am having to tighten the screw (only one screw as they other have stayed locked) every now and then too? should i take it to cartier and get them to inspect and rescrew for me? thanks for all your help. PS i have the rose gold size 18 xox
Hi there, i just posted on a post earlier, i am also having problem with one of my screw that i have to tighten it up once a week? i don't know the reason why but the other screw seem to have not moved at all. should i go to cartier and have them inspected? i bought mine last 2014 and only started wearing them again last month. i am like you, for the price of the bracelet i do not think it should have that poor performance of the so called bangle. plus if it is recommenced that it can be worn 24/7 then we should not be worrying of having to wear them and screw them all the time. i am furious now. sad.
I also , ha and ussue with the loose screws. The lady at Cartier in Paris told me that i have to tighten the screw very well until it stops and told no to worry about breaking the screws. And she said if the screws become loose after you screw it well bring it to Cartier and they will replace it.
I screw my love very well and have no problems now.
Bear in mind that this is only a very tiny sample size and people are more likely to post only when there's a problem - for example, you'd never see threads such as "Wow, Cartier's screws are amazing! No tightening needed!"
If yours has been causing bother, absolutely take it to Cartier. After all, we don't just pay a premium for branding and design, we pay for their customer service & aftercare too.
Have you tried resting your wrist on counter and tried to losing both sides at the same time, then tighten them at the same times .when u do that they lock mechanize lines up better . I use my dresser so I can put them on it helps to take pressure off the bracelet, so u can line up and tighten little each side at time ,I hope all goes well for you ,
I have the full diamond rose gold and the classic yellow gold. Wore both together after having then put on in store and by time was home preparing dinner the yellow gold had worked fully loose on one side even after I had checked them. The rose gold was solid and hadn’t moved. [emoji33]
Wow, as lovely as they are...and as expensive as they are, Cartier really should be making the screws on its signature bracelet as solid and secure as possible. If other, less-expensive metal screws work (like those around the house), why not solid gold ones on jewelry? 
I understand the PF is (a quite lovely) fishbowl, so I hope this is not the norm; because from this perspective, either you can’t keep it on or, as with Kylie, you can’t take it off. (Glad I chose the cuff).
