If I remember correctly the original love bracelets from the 60's-80's were electroplated. Please someone correct me if I am wrong.
Where have you spotted the Cartier LOVE in real life?

Lol! I have an inspired by bangle that looks vaguely like a Love. I wouldn't even call it a fake because its quite obviously not a Cartier. Wouldn't fool anyone. It just snaps on, no screws, which I actually like. I just thought it was cute. It's stainless steel plated with RG.
I will never afford a Love, though I think they are beautiful. I saw another vaguely love-like one at Charming Charlie the other day with crystals all over it. That one was cute, too.
Really? I spoke to managers at 3 different boutiques who told me it could not be done. I was willing to pay anything because my wrist is 12 cm so the 16 is huge on me.
I think you can do it. I asked the boutique in London and they said its possible but will need to pay 35 percent more and have to wait at least 6 months because they have to ask from Paris to do it.
That is really good to know. I totally would have paid extra and waited for a smaller size. That is why I asked 3 boutiques and figured at least one of them would have known. I will have to check into it for my next one.
No more discussion of supporting the ILLEGAL COUNTERFEIT trade here please.
Yeah I knew she was ordering a fake, before I realised I thought oh wow its the Love! So it maybe looks realish. Has anyone else spotted fakes.
Now, nobody shoot me, but if I found a good fake one Id buy it. I doubt I can ever afford the real deal...(

Sorry for mentioning my inspired by, but it's not a fake, nor is it illegal.
Going back to topic....
My daughter's sunday school teacher was wearing the diamond yellow gold love last week. I would have noticed it before, so I think she just got it. It was sooooo pretty and so nice to spot, because she was conplimenting me on mine about a month ago. I think she was inspired and took the plunge! (Albeit a much bigger splash w diamonds lol)

The fakes are extremely easy spot, especially if you have the real deal. I saw a horrible fake on a girl a few days ago and she was eyeing my two Love's. I don't really care if people buy fakes but they're fooling themselves if they think people can't tell lol!!
