CARTIER LOVE BRACELET: 1 YEAR REVIEW | is it worth?, wear & tear, pros & cons, other items I debated

[@monicaherrera2224]

The “everyone has it” comments definitely come from a chronically online place. On the internet everyone talks about it but in the real world not everyone has it, not even close

[@melodiechartier5173]

Exactly what i was thinking no one i know close or far has it!

[@Cynthiamhuang]

That’s a good point!

[@mandyk510]

[@dyshawnshine3644]

Yea I've yet to see anyone wearing one, even while on vacation. lol they're not that common. only amongst very select crowds.

[@louisportalatin2790]

I just purchased my love bracelet. People online ( myself included ) say everyone has it but, in the real world they don’t. AND I just purchased the single diamond love band so I excited to have that too!

[@putranhoang]

I got the 4 diamonds love bracelet from my family for our 1st anniversary. I wear it everyday and love it 💕🥂

Hi Cynthia! Love your videos! So refreshing to see someone who appreciate luxury but doesn’t come off as out of touch or show off. I agree with you that it really doesn’t matter as long as you love it, then it’s worth it. Both screws don’t come out, unlike the older model. I stack my love bracelets and my theory is that the constant vibrations from the bracelets hitting each other causing the screws to come loose. I purposely got a little bigger sized ones because I am between sizes. It’s kinda annoying to hear the clinging of the bracelets so I tend to add a “damper bracelet” in between, like the smiley bracelets from Lisa Goslan or the three infinity ring string bracelet from Cartier( not sure what the exact name is). I love mine and completely agree with all your points on pros and cons. Oh and remember to take it off when going to onsen in Japan. I was stupid and lazy so I left it on. It destroyed my white gold love-the luster is lost and turned REALLY dull. Ugh! Anyway, way too long of a comment. Love from Taiwan!! ( currently visiting my parents)

[@Cynthiamhuang]

Hi!! Omg thanks for your comment I appreciate your kind words and the info about the love bracelet!! That’s so smart to stack other bracelets in between. Your stack sounds gorg! And omg re onsen is it something to do with the onsen water that affects the love bracelet? Have so much fun in Taiwan!! Eat all the good food!!!!

[@HandbagFoodie]

Yay! Thanks for filming this! Love hearing about your thought process behind getting this bracelet and how it’s held up over time!

[@Cynthiamhuang]

Ofc!!! Thank you for watching I hope it was helpful💕

[@PrangeSamperi]

I bought a bag for my best friend before. The details of the *condup* bag are very rich. The replica is very exquisite. The stitching, interface and leather are great. My friend likes it very much.

[@nancyannetran]

I have 4 of the small love bracelet and I have no regrets. I wear 2 everyday with my tennis bracelet. I also agree with you on VCA. It sucks that it’s so delicate but I still have some bc it’s so beautiful!

[@Cynthiamhuang]

Omg stunning! How did you decide on the small?

[@nancyannetran]

I’m petite and I like dainty jewelry. I felt like the original one is too thick for stacking on my wrist. Love all your videos!

[@honey21usa]

Loving your stack!!

[@krishnakhan439]

Is it comfortable?

[@Jinandjoose]

Love van cleef! They have so many lines Im in love with outside of just Alhambra like the Frivole and perlee and butterfly lines

[@Cynthiamhuang]

Really?? I’ve never noticed any of the other lines besides the butterfly!😮

[@MrsBJWolf]

Love all the reasonable info. Thank you! Also, what size are your stud earrings?

[@WraightDachs]

On what occasion would you wear these bags? I love your collection. Like I love my bbkbags

[@miranyu6417]

Thanks for the video! Did you go size up to stack with your diamond tennis bracelet? I’m planning on stacking them just like you have and wondering if I need to size up. Thank you!!

[@suzannetennent3804]

I agonised over VCA or Cartier and also went in 3 times before I made the purchase. Only to regret the purchase 2mths later for 2 reasons. Due originaly the sales assistant recommended size 17 but then advised 16 the day I purchased it. Which sometimes feels snug in Summer which I find annoying. Secondly I wished I hadn't settled on the small, but at the time I felt the standard one was too heavy. However a year on whilst on a long transit in Singapore I went into the Cartier store and tried on a few different stacking options. This ultimately reconfirmed that the size 16 was definitely the best size for me and that the small size just suited my petite frame b better. It's such a costly purchase but well worth it. Also I love your diamond bangle with it too.

[@HistoryEndsTonight]

What an excellent and honest video. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us! One question: What led you to choose yellow gold over white gold or rose gold? Was it a tough decision, or did you always know which you wanted?

[@Cynthiamhuang]

Ty!! Personally I feel like yellow gold is most classic and it’s what I wanted so I got it! I like to mix metals anyways :)

[@Dino2054]

I have mine for more than 10 years, I never took it off and I tried once but one screw is stuck and now I can't take it off. I don't mind that at all. People around me usualy say that I'm going to be berried with bracelet 😂. It's so scratched up and on some parts is chipped but I don't mind it. I love the bracelet and I enjoy wearing it

[@_angelicr]

I really enjoyed watching this video, you have a stunning jewelry collection. I love the Cartier bracelet as well. Thank you for sharing 🥰🩷

[@meganxlee]

this is my sign to add this bracelet to my collection 🤣

[@Cynthiamhuang]

Yesss!! What’s in your collection? Hehe

[@aznswtgirl]

I can sympathize when your friend lost her bracelet. I lost mines at a concert and I’m not sure if the screws were loose or someone did steal it. But Cartier is definitely worth it. It’s nice to own a beautiful piece of jewelry and that’s all you need.

[@Cynthiamhuang]

No wayyy I’m sorry 😭 did you ever replace it?

[@Noodlesandsushi]

Hi Cynthia! how much carat is the tennis bracelet? I love it! :)

[@ItsTheLondonFella]

Thank you for the video. Do you ever take it off? For example, when cleaning your house? I’m on the verge of buying the LB and the Santos De Cartier. Looking forward to your response.

[@putranhoang]

@@ItsTheLondonFella for me I don’t take it off even when I’m doing yard work. We got to work and doing chores in style 😉

[@misuumisuu]

Loved the video! Couldn’t help but notice your wedding band! Is it an oval eternity band!? Can we please get a video on your wedding set? I’m planning to get an oval eternity band for my wedding band but can’t decide on the per carat size for the band! It seems like 0.2 is the most popular? Thoughts?? Thanks in advance 😝

[@Cynthiamhuang]

Yes!! Oval eternity band and you’re absolutely right mine is 0.2✨ Next video is my full jewelry tour so will share more there❤

[@misuumisuu]

@@Cynthiamhuang oooh can’t wait!! Tysm!!!😍😍

[@Lisa-pq1lm]

I’ve been saving up to get the love bracelet this year so this video was perfect timing! I feel like a lot of the things you went through when making your decision (value, brand, diamonds vs regular, original vs small - I’m also on the tall side) are exactly all things I’ve been thinking about so this was super helpful!! I recently went into to the SF boutique to try on rg vs. yg again and I ended up also trying on the Tank Louis watch. I kinda regret trying on the Tank Louis because I fell in love with it and now I’m debating between the two for my first Cartier purchase 😭😂

[@Cynthiamhuang]

I’m so glad this was helpful!! Omg Cartier watches are stunning but just think about whether you want a bracelet or watch more! Bracelet is good bc you never take it off vs watch you will but it’s not hard to put on. But if you already have a lot of bracelets then a watch could be a good change!

[@debbysz___]

I was just recently gifted the VCA white gold guilloche from my parents for Mother's Day which I've been eyeing for a while. I've heard that VCA has become cheugy but I'm idc absolutely in love with it. I can't girl math per wear on a Cartier love bracelet (white gold) like you said that you can get diamonds on something else with your jeweler for less or similar. I'm still thinking of what push present I want!!

[@Cynthiamhuang]

Omg how did you decide between white gold and regular gold? Have you been wearing it everyday? How do you like it?

[@debbysz___]

@@Cynthiamhuang I haven't been able to wear it as much I had it sent out to have it extended by the max 2" complimentary extension. I plan on wearing it with my dainty diamond bezel necklace layered. All my jewelry is white gold and platinum. My mom has had her yellow gold guilloche for over a year and a half and it hasn't dulled but she doesn't put lotions or perfume near it.

[@rosesidlauskas2042]

What size is your bracelet? And what size is your wrist?

[@chlife9690]

May I know what‘s your wrist size and bracelet size for my reference ?

[@mandyz7032]

Which hand you wear it ?

[@kaylee3610]

No body is walking around with the Cartier screw drivers 😂 your friends bracelet just probably slowly unscrewed over time and fell off. It happens often in the beginning when the bracelet is new.

[@Agendamedicaperu]

Good message: if you have something, wear it! Life is 2 short not to.

[@nikkilinton6478]

I live in a major metropolitan city, and no not everyone has it. I’ve seen maybe three Love bracelets and one Just Un Clou.

[@cchayashi3219]

Funny that people can think someone walk around with the screwdriver to be able to unscrew this specific bracelet. Drama 😂

[@1971caz38]

I can spot them a mile away even in the western suburbs

[@zahedah80]

It's worth it to buy the solid gold 21kt versions sold in the middle east. Those retain value because they are sold per gram.

[@alinachernyshova1494]

Higher than 18kt is very delicate gold, they are more soft! That’s why a lot of jewelers don’t recommend to buy higher than 18 on daily basis. If you are looking to buy gold as “investment” better to buy coins or gold bars:))

[@zahedah80]

@alinachernyshova1494 they also sell 18kt gold in the middle east per gram. Buying gold in North America is a rip-off.

[@alinachernyshova1494]

@@zahedah80 you are not going to high end jewelry stores to buy only gold.. you are buying piece with history, brand and etc.

[@alinachernyshova1494]

@@zahedah80 but definitely in the Middle East it’s cheaper to buy gold itself

Your friend must have been super drunk if she can’t feel someone unscrewing her bracelet 🤦‍♀️

[@PrangeSamperi]

Thank you for sharing this video! ! I purchased the replica myself and I absolutely love it! *condup* I would never spend a fortune on a genuine item. I'd rather spend the rest of my money on vacation travel! ! But this is just my own choice and opinion
