Thanks for the video, Donna! I find these quite informative when I'm researching a piece and looking into buying it in the preloved market as I'm deathly afraid of getting scammed. I know I can have stuff authenticated but for my own piece of mind, I also prefer to know what to look out for. x

Thank you for this video . I bought the exact replica, that you showed here, a while back. It’s funny, when I bought it online it said nothing about looking like the love bracelet I just thought it was a stainless steel bracelet. Anyway, it showed up looking just like a real love bracelet. Today I received a genuine Love bracelet, albeit the small version, and it’s fabulous.

Thanks for the video I found a replica while cleaning out a storage unit and for a few days I been thinking I struck gold literally lol but turns out it's fake. The weird thing is tho that my bf took it to be appraised and one place told him it is authentic gold tho so it gave me hopes but it has the same serial number as your fake so it has to be fake. Thanks again!

It's pretty expensive for a bracelet, you're right 😅 Thank you for watching Tiffany !

I wonder if the replica is wider because it’s a 20? I wonder whether the smaller sizes are slimmer. Just a thought. But I do notice that the undertones are vastly different. I wonder if that’s because white gold is mixed with platinum so maybe there’s some residual yellow gold that becomes apparent? I’m not an expert, but that makes me interested. I do love the white gold color, however. My Love Ring is yellow gold, but I do love white gold. Thanks for the video!

@DonnaIsabella

6 ай бұрын

Hello! The width of the bracelet shouldn't change according to the size chosen for your wrist. The replica is just off in terms of measurment. Indeed, the yellow undertone is either due to the metals chosen to be mixed with the 75% of gold, or the rhodium plating is wearing off. Thank you for watching my video 😍

The replica is made of stainless steel. And the original is 750 gold which I'd yellow gold mixed with white metals which will have a yellow tinge.... I do believe that they rhodium plate them since the one in the video looks dull, and "spotty".... Hence she said that they "change color".

12:14 I have to disagree; I like the look of the Cartier. Which the replica provides at a fraction of the price for the same look. And that "feeling" of wearing the real one is confidence. Confidence comes from one, and not a bracelet. That's the same logic as "lucky underwear".

You can’t compare a $20 fake to the real thing. There are some real 18k exact replicas that are less than half the price that you wouldn’t be able to tell.

Great video. In my experience, the principal difference and easy one to spot a replica are the side screws. In the replica’s ones, 90% of them, has a flat side screws, and not the more “raise” like the original.

I completely agree with you!! Replicas are kind of scary and I hope this video helped show the difference between the fake and the real thing. I love your saying: quality does stay 😍👌🏻

I can spot a replica a mile away. I wear a yellow cuff and a white gold traditional screw on cartier love bracelet on my right wrist stacked. The screws on replica are oversized and sloppy looking. The tint on the fake is super silver looking stainless steel. White gold will always have a warm Grey look to it because it's just yellow gold melted with palladium or rhodium to give it that white look. Where my two parts meet together, it is almost impossible to see the crease (almost laser cut looking) . The authentic is a lot heavier than the fake even though the fake will always have more mass. The inscription serial number with metal content , country of maker and all hallmarks are always going to be smaller yet deeper on the authentic and the fake will have super large letters. The screwdriver to real bracelet will say Au 750 p-c. Just states that the tool from cartier has been plated in precious metal. The fakes never have any stamps. I really like how small , tight, clean and non Bushwa / goddy looking the authentic piece is. I work with some people that wear the fakes and I can always tell by the 1mm wide gap in between the 2 arches. No quality control on these Countries that make these. Also the serial number is always like ip6688 or something similar 😆 🤣. Thanks so much for making this video. Very good comparison. 👍

The fake one honestly looks better. I’ve seen them in store and they don’t look that great with sharper edges than I’d like. I tried one on and all I could think is that it just looks like you’re wearing one of those stainless steel bangles with “le vie on rose” written on or something for €12 It’s really a tricky one with this one! Other fakes I’d definitely not recommend.

Hello Anthony! This fake is well done indeed. But to be honest, I would rather wear the real one 100% of the time. So you know, the fake in this video is almost brand new and the real one is a little old, so maybe that makes a difference in the comparison! Thank you for watching 😊

This is a cheap replica !! For 20$ ... They are doing ones in real gold that even Cartier workers and Designers cant spot them, but here we are talking about real gold. 33 grams of gold = 1200$ so you cant compare à bracelet not made of gold to the Gold Cartier. Plus Cartier has 33 grams of gold, you have the gold price with the brand price

Also, is not 30 grams of gold. Is 30 grams of 75% pure gold that will scrap value the metal of the bracelet at $900 dollars. So Cartier made a $6800 dollar profit on a bracelet with 30 grams of 75% pure gold.
