First off, let’s be real, there ARE Cartier love bracelet replica out there that *look* pretty darn good. Like, seriously, some are almost scarily close to the real deal. You gotta be careful, though. Because while you might save a ton of money upfront, ending up with a total dud that turns your wrist green is NOT the vibe.
Here’s the thing, spotting a fake Cartier Love bracelet vs. a real one is tricky. They can even slap a “Cartier” logo and a serial number (fake, obvs) on the inside. That’s when things get interesting. The real deal has specific sizes engraved, like 16, 17, 18, 19 or 20. So, if you see some weird size like… 17.5, that’s a red flag, major red flag.
And the metal! Oh, the metal is important. Real Cartier will be stamped with “Au 750” or just “750” if it’s 18k gold. Platinum will have “Pt 950” or “950”. No stamp? Fuggedaboutit. Fake.
Now, about that size 17 specifically. It’s a pretty common size, actually. But, and this is a big but, even if it *says* 17, make sure it *feels* right. Measure your wrist, folks! Don’t just assume. A too-tight bracelet is uncomfortable, and a too-loose one… well, that’s just asking for it to fall off and get lost. No one wants that kind of heartbreak.
Honestly, I’ve seen replicas that look almost identical *online*, but then you get them in person and they just feel…off. The weight, the finish, the way the screws sit. It’s hard to describe, but you just *know*. And that’s the thing, a good replica, from what I’ve seen floating around on the web, is an affordable version.
