TIPS TO SPOT A FAKE CARTIER LOVE BRACELET

Since Cartier does not engage in authenticity processes anymore, it is up to you to do all you can to ensure you get your hands on an original piece. It’s time to sharpen your eyes, be your advocate, and boost your wisdom to catch dupers in the market.

1. ALWAYS LOOK FOR THE STAMPS

The stamps should be your first evidence of the bracelet’s authenticity. Many of the fake pieces will have the Cartier logo on the bracelet’s sides, with the font often smudged. If it’s an original Cartier love bracelet, you will find the logo stamped only on one side, too, in clear and crisp cursive.

2. RESEARCH

You must never go shopping for a Cartier love bracelet without some preliminary research first. Please browse through the brand’s original website, learn as much information as possible regarding the history, materials, finishing, designs, etc.

3. MATERIALS

No one can ever disagree with the fact that Cartier is the ultimate high-end, luxury brand. So you can only expect the finest materials in their products. The Cartier love bracelets specifically only come in exclusive 18k platinum, pink gold, white or yellow with only real diamonds embedded in the original creation.

4. SCREWS

Recent innovations have brought changes in the placing of screws in the Cartier love bracelet. In the newer version, the screws now attach to the bracelet itself. You will find extreme precision in the Cartier love bracelets, and the metal features perfect stamping of the screws. The replicas did not have the screws in perfect alignment and will not even have a smooth surface.

5. OBSERVE THE FINISHING

Cartier is the true epitome of luxury, and its goods are living testimony of it. So, whenever you buy a statement piece from the atelier itself, you will never walk out with a jewelry piece that is imperfect, misaligned, or untidy in any subtle way.

6. HALLMARKS

One of the most foolproof ways of verifying a piece’s authenticity is through the hallmark. Hallmarks are codes that provide insight into your jewelry piece’s trademark, ID numbers, and material. You can refer to many hallmarks when verifying a Cartier love bracelet.

7. DOCUMENTS

Legitimate Cartier products come with manufacturer documents that confirm the style, the serial number, the store purchased from, and the date of purchase.

FINAL THOUGHTS

Cartier pieces are always expensive, even in the secondary markets. So if you ever happen to come across any Cartier love bracelet below the price of $4000, you must know that it is not an original piece. Even pre-loved Cartier bracelets will never fall below that price if they are original.
