It’s really a personal decision
Is there a way for you to try it on and see if you like?

I just bought an expensive piece of jewelry that I’m regretting bec I didn’t try it on enough and really figure out how it would work for me

Out of my price range but I think they're gorgeous and classic. I would definitely buy a couple if I could afford.

That’s a super personal thing though
Are you saying a brand name compared to regular jewelry? I have both although not Cartier
I have gorgeous pieces from van cleef, and I love them (although I’m sure people think their fake, cuz everyone has fake ones)
I also have gorgeous diamond jewelry that I love.
Either you like it or you don’t

Yes, especially stacked with other bracelets.

I personally don’t think they’re worth it, because there are so so many fakes out. If you want something Cartier, get something less unique. If you want something designer in general, I recommend bulgari. Their jewelry is stunning and more unique.

I have other cartier pieces that I love. The quality and craftsmanship is great, and I find it worth the price point.

Personally I chose the Juste Un Clou collection over the love collection because I liked the style more, but also practically it made more sense for me. The regular love bracelet can only be taken off with the screwdriver, so unless you plan on wearing it day and night it might not make so much sense for you

I don't have one and I can't afford one, but I dream of having a cartier tank one day and I love the brand, so I fell way down the love bracelet rabbit hole. I can tell you this much about it -

- Cartier stopped authenticating this bracelet because the superfakes have gotten SO GOOD that event the highly trained Cartier specialists can not tell the difference between the fake and the real thing.

- The gold on the Cartier love bracelet is very soft and shows every nick and scratch.

- At this point if you have one, anyone who sees it is going to assume it's a fake, so if that matters to you, I'd go with another choice. (Same with VCA clover bracelet by the way). Others will see it and wonder why you spent minimum 5k on a bracelet with no diamonds (and if you get the diamond one, even more so).

- The screw is $500 to replace, so if you are in the process of taking it off/putting it on and it drops, you are out $500 to replace it - a friend of mine is a mikvah lady and she says the women who have the real bracelet don't remove it at the mikvah.

Having said that, if you love it, get it and enjoy every second of wearing it! If I had the money and wanted it, none of the above would stop me from getting one.

Because Cartier is a more well known brand and copied much more frequently. Also they come out with new collections more frequently.

Just to comment to this: Cartier, as well as most luxury brands, does not authenticate any item and never has. Store associate are not trained to always tell the difference and are not allowed to confirm or deny authenticity on any product. Typically the way to get it authenticated is to send it off for repairs- if it’s fake they will send it back letting you know they can’t work on it (with a bill for their time, though)

I think she meant to say more unique. Or less ubiquitous. It's the common ones - the less unique - that are copied.
