I am almost 40 years old. I have only seen 3 women wearing Cartier Love or JUC bangles so far. I saw Porsche in my town more than any hermes bags or any bangles from cartier. 😆😁 We might saw it a lot on the internet. But in reality they are rare. Now I have them too and I am very happy with them. They are very very expensive and too expensive for what you have to pay for. I know and I get it, we all have to pay for the Name but I always have them with me and they are my forever pieces. With the scratches, it's a nature of gold. You just have to understand and enjoy it the way it is, just like our leather bags, they can be scratched and be aged. They are also not last forever. I used to have many handbags but I can wear it only one at the time, but those pieces are always with me every day . I enjoy them a lot.

[@ElleEdwards_Inc]

I agree!

[@BlendedBarbieDoll]

Well said I’m almost 37 and see more G-wagons and other 6 figure cars in my town than I see these “popular” Cartier pieces I want both and hope to at least gift them for myself soon :)

[@nateanderson1691]

Awwww

[@PositivelyNice]

Cartier holds its value in prestige. Its service also trumps all other luxury boutiques in my country. This is a brand for personal enjoyment, not investment.

[@IamGPS]

As with everything, as long as you enjoy them and can get your money's worth from them it's the best luxury investment you can make 🧡

[@neehalsakharkar733]

sir scuff nail bracelet can we wore by men?@@IamGPS

[@olgailiadi9135]

Great video! As a mechanical engineer I love Love small bracelet. It’s easy to take off, and still has this little special screw driver. Of course everything is overpriced. Fortunately they have cord trinity bracelet too.

[@IamGPS]

I'm so glad you enjoy it 🧡

[@nadine9053]

My opinion is that you buy the jewelry that you love and that reflects your personality. Cartier has been popular since the start and that was before there was social media and influencers. I use my Cartier jewelry for my own sake and not to invest or to impress anyone.

[@Liz86000]

I absolutely love Cartier. I love the Trinity collection, the Diamants Légers and yes, the Love & Juste un Clou are indeed gorgeous. I love their watches as well, especially the Panthère and the Ballon Bleu. And I don't know where you live but I've only ever seen ONE Lady wearing the Juste un Clou bracelet... so yes, even if it's popular on social media, in real life ? Not many people can afford this I'm afraid.

So glad you found it helpful 🖤

I can understand why 😉🧡

[@fgorlando]

I agree with you... when something is overhyped, it just loses its value completely imo. Also, I am one of those that has lost a Cartier love bracelet due to the screw loosening 😭😭😭😤

[@IamGPS]

I'm so sorry 😣

[@fgorlando]

@@IamGPS well, hopefully it made the actual person who found it happy

[@arias839]

They don’t have the screw mechanism anymore I purchased love bracelet 2017

[@all_things_mystical1376]

I’m glad I purchased mine way before they changed the mechanism of the lock on the love. Been wearing mine for 11 years with scratches and all. This bracelet is not for you if you expect it to stay pristine as the first day you bought it. It just doesn’t work that way. To me this is not a special occasion jewelry where you only take it out to wear occasionally. This is something to be worn daily and enjoyed. This is a piece that age with you, on you.

Oh no I would fall out of love too pun intended

Just bought myself a clash de Cartier ring in rose gold. Love it’s design. A much better alternative to either love or JUC. Thanks for your video!

Great choice 🤩

[@christiner4841]

I have somehow never bought the LOVE bracelet, things always came before. But at this point, I just feel I missed the boat...the bracelet has become very popular. The stack of dreams for many is LOVE, JUC , VCA.....it is stunning but , its very overdone. The panther line has always been stunning, and underrated, now the clash is taking popularity. The marketing behind this brand is spot on thought. Great video, at a perfect time since I decided to get myself something slightly different, I am a rebel like that :) merci

[@IamGPS]

I've also noticed the Clash gaining more and more popularity in the very recent past 🤔

[@TheBrianCummingsOff]

Fun fact GPS the rose gold in the love bracelet gets tarnished. I was horrified to see after spending that much on a bracelet it started to fade and wasn't used on an everyday basis. Great vid btw should do more deep dives on other brands like this.

[@IamGPS]

That's an excellent point which I've also noticed. Thank you for sharing 🧡

[@daniella4889]

Hi. I was wondering if you could explain this more? Did your rose gold Cartier fade to yellow gold? I’ve heard this a lot. Or did it discolour?

[@danielintheantipodes6741]

Thank you for the video!

[@IamGPS]

My pleasure 🧡

[@mrsimbush8935]

100% agreed.. I do own the JUC ring (same as yours ;)) and I like it.. but I do feel like it is soooo over done already.. It is like everything that can afford certain things want the same things... too many VCAs too many JUC and Love bracelets.. That’s a turn off for me.. But I do really love the clash de Cartier, ecrou de Cartier and panthère de Cartier ranges.. :)

[@IamGPS]

Completely!! 🙌 The Panthère range is beyond stunning 🤩

[@ingridsalciccioli8107]

love your insights!! I didn't realized the original design inspirations... Just a little creepy. I also dislike how much they scratch. Can you do a video offering some alternatives??

[@IamGPS]

Absolutely 🧡

[@monyonk89]

I remembered a couple of years ago the love bracelets were dubbed as "KZbinr who just hit 1M subs starterpack" lol. The panther line is stunning tho.

[@IamGPS]

Haha very accurate 😂😂

[@NhavenReal]

Not excite you because it's overplayed? But did you really look around you if a lot of people wearing it or your reference is only on the internet? i think the people bothered by scratches of any jewelry especially love range in cartier DO NOT UNDERSTAND that IT'S MADE OF GOLD, also, its flat.. so it's COMMON SENSE that it will scratch.. i wonder a lot of people expect that soft metal like gold with flat solid surface can't scratch..

[@royceking5787]

i realize it is kind of randomly asking but do anybody know a good site to stream new tv shows online?

[@claytonfrancisco7607]

@Royce King try Flixzone. You can find it by googling :)

[@elizabethm2584]

I think Cartier is popular on social media, in NYC, and in LA. I live in an expensive area of Atlanta, we have a Cartier boutique here, and I rarely see anyone wearing any recognizable piece from Cartier. Tiffany seems to be more popular here.

[@IamGPS]

Great point, I've definitely noticed a lot more of them in NYC, Vegas, and LA 🙋🏻‍♂️

[@dragonrising11]

I see LOVE bracelets all the time where I live - especially stacked on the shoppers at Whole Foods around the corner from me. I like your honesty. I've always really really wanted a love bracelet, but I'm actually looking into David Yurman, and Verlas La Fleur bracelets as an alternative.

[@IamGPS]

Right?? They've become quite overdone at this point 🫣

[@lalaland8185]

The jewelry is done and redone at this stage, but I do love so many of the watches.

[@IamGPS]

Some of their watches are beautiful 🙌

[@AF0093]

Thanks for the information and your input on this topic. Cartier is extremely expensive for the basic folks like myself. And, as you mentioned the love line is not as unique or valuable at resale. If someone has the money to spend go ahead, but I also believe for the money of Cartier it’s best to invest in fine jewelry at an independent jewelry store. I have watched many videos on the love bracelet on how they get scratched easily and also how it is not “exclusive” any longer, everyone in social media has them and they’re not special anymore. Save your money or invest elsewhere.

[@IamGPS]

Completely agree 🙌 Unless you're in love with the designs themselves, there're so many other more special pieces that don't cost nearly as much 🙋🏻‍♂️

[@mitchthebagboss8698]

I enjoyed this video. My 50th is coming up and hubby is planning to get me the original JUC white gold with diamonds…. I turned down the one at store that was made in Switzerland bc heard the one made in Italy was stronger hinge…. Do you think there’s a difference? Another pressure is that SA said could take couple months to look for one since shortage …..

[@IamGPS]

Happy birthday in advance!! 🥳 This is the first time I hear this and while I'm no Cartier expert, I'd doubt that there's a considerable difference between pieces produced in different countries 🤔

[@wubaduckie]

I like Cartier JUC because to me, it's modern, simple and slightly edgy. The same reason why I like Tiffany HardWear and Chanel's Coco Crush.

[@Buttercookiesssss]

Yes they're overplayed. Easily see a few in my office anytime. Especially love bracelet. Makes me not wanting any.. I don't want to fall into owning "standard luxury items" lol

[@raemana7193]

I'm interested in the juste un clou small bracelet but not sure if Im willing to spend +3k on it because it doesn't have much gold and it just bends to put on. Not sure if it's worth the price.

[@mitchthebagboss8698]

totally agree! I went with bulgari instead

[@IamGPS]

Bulgari is such an underrated brand, both in terms of jewelry and bags 🤩

[@marciegonzalez3967]

I love Cartier and VCA.

[@KraftyPaws]

Never been a fan of VCA (those flower designs are so kid-like IMHO) nor the Cartier love collection (so simple and claustrophobic). I have always loved the JUC (my style is a bit classic/edgy, which is why I love the Hermes punk line), but I am sad they are so over-played. Great topic for this video!

[@IamGPS]

It makes so much sense that you'd enjoy the Punk range then 🧡

[@LolaJay_]

Hi there! Kindly, do certain Cartier rings fit true to size? I am debating buying a Lanieres from overseas. The ring is a size 4.5. I normally wear a 4.75 or 5.0 comfortably. It is a thinner band. I know folks say to size up with the Love ring, for example, which has a thicker band. Thanks so much!!

[@IamGPS]

Oh really? I find their rings to be spot-on true to size 🙌 I'm always a European 57 ring size across all designer brands, including Cartier 💍

[@LolaJay_]

@@IamGPS Thanks so much! This is a big help! This will be my first Cartier purchase. I want to ensure that I get it right!

[@alicialuolim3315]

Very informative video. Cartier never excited me for the price. However, VCA is my weak spot. What do you think of VCA Alhambra resell value? Thanks

VCA's resale value seems to be consistently phenomenal 🙌

[@listudio1211]

I prefer wearing my trinity pieces more because they're less well-recognised. I sometimes regret getting the love bracelet and ring because they're literally everywhere on social media :(

[@IamGPS]

I really enjoy the Trinity line too 🤩

[@SharonroseV]

It’s over priced coz of its popularity but now a lot in the market scattered with just the same looks but it’s gold plated high quality kind .. so if you bought the original high price then a lot of people wear them just the same looks it’s like very common piece now there’s also real gold 18 k in Dubai gold which cost 1 k or 500 $ u s .

[@manuelajager8517]

I only look at gold worth and if Diamonds are real when I buy jewlery. And I love emeralds. In Spain we have a lot of shops where you can buy second hand jewlery, most for 50 % cheaper than in the jewlery shop. But Cartier is 75% off.

[@nadeshikofujisaki5734]

The reasons you listed are why I have been hesitant to buy the Cartier Love or JUC bangles. The 18k gold is the most offsetting to me and as you mentioned, there is an over saturation of these pieces in the second hand market. I have been wearing a 999.9 fine gold bangle for years and I once rammed my bangle against the rim of a wall and it only slightly got bent. Fortunately, I was able to visit my local Lukfuk boutique and got it fixed. If I ever am in need of money, I can just sell it back at the market price of gold 🤣 and the color of fine gold is more “golden yellow” unlike the muted yellow of 18k which I prefer. Would love to hear what you think of Chaumet and Bulgari :))

[@IamGPS]

Yes, you're not only paying for the value of gold but also for the experience, design, and branding when it comes to designer jewelry houses 💎

[@FilleDesSoucoupesVolantes]

Sounded like a very interesting speech. Very articulate and very eye-opening. Unfortunately, I couldn't listen all the way to the end of the video because of the persistent uptalk.

[@arias839]

I mean in that sense isn’t Hermes overdone at this point? It’s just a bit of leather sewn together for some people at least but there are others who love the heritage the craftsmanship so it’s the same for Cartier I guess

[@IamGPS]

Great point! Even though you see a lot of Hermès online these days, I find they stand out - to me at least - not because of the hype but the unmatched craftsmanship. There're no other fine leather brands out there so readily available that meet Hermès' quality and "lifetime warranty"..but I can't say the same about Cartier 🧡

[@arias839]

@@IamGPS exactly so it’s subjective I guess. Some people feel the same about Hermes and some for Cartier! It’s what we as people put value on

[@evelynmelian-glick436]

Good points ! But Cartier is still a high end prestigious brand. I don’t like the quality issues or the scratches. I will be purchasing the van cleft over Cartier.

Good choice 🙌

[@trixierose8461]

For me one of the major downfalls is that neither the love or just un clou bracelets are user friendly. The just un clou is uncomfortable and takes time to get used to because it’s not flat and both of them are horrible to get on and off. Out of my ridiculous collection of Cartier the only thing I still wear is my trinity bracelet because it doesn’t seem as popular.

[@IamGPS]

So true!! They're not only a pain to get on and off but wearing the Love bracelet also makes me feel claustrophobic after a while 🙈

[@LAHenna]

I was almost going to get the live earrings- so that it wouldn’t scratch. But I passed.

[@IamGPS]

Absolutely, their high jewelry and more extravagant lines (Panthère, Cactus, etc.) cannot even be mentioned on the same page with their mainstream pieces..just day and night 🙈

[@Jimsremedialmassage]

@@IamGPS I guess these popular lines are just marketing strategies as they make most of the influence of the brand and bring most of the 💰 as well. And when people think of Cartier, the love or the juc are the first thing that they could think of, so it’s a win win for the house :-)

[@Jimsremedialmassage]

[@marciegonzalez3967]

I think the LOVE bracelets and JUC bracelets make a statement. The rings not so much.

Maybe if you’re into BDSM you can wear a love or clou 😂😂😂 Btw where is your eternity ring from? The one use to stack on your hermes ring from a previous video?

[@IamGPS]

It happens to be Cartier 🧡

[@mk1642]

I have mixed feelings about Cartier. Their designs (I am not talking only about their fine-jewelry line but also about their leather goods, glasses, watches, scarves...) are undeniably beautiful, well-proportioned and flawless. Those are the reasons why the brand has as long as I can remember, always been almost a "household name" here in France. I have heard this statement numerous times from all the people I know, no matter if they were into luxury or not, whenever they had to pick up an engagement or wedding ring: "well, let's make it simple and let's just get something efficient at Cartier!". We do actually have more fascination towards foreign maisons such as Tiffany's, Harry Winston, Graff, De Beers.... maybe because of legendary Hollywood classics featuring Audrey Hepburn or Marylin, which have left an indelible print within our collective memory. The thing I have noticed that bothers me the most, after spending the last 4 years scrolling through social medias, is that Cartier has had become widespread not only here, but also internationally. I am gonna sound like the biggest conceited snob, although I know you and most of your followers do share my opinion: this worldwide popularity has made the brand less appealing, some of their particular lines (Love, JUC, Trinity) have "almost lost" their touch of exclusivity... I don't know about you but I can't stand this "mass-produced" outfit anymore: Balmain jacket/ Dior or Gucci tee-shirt/ YSL denim skinny jeans/ H or Marmont belt/ Dior or Gucci sneakers/ Speedy or Birkin or Chanel classic flap/ JUC or Love rings and bracelets... I am personally leaning more towards their underrated or discontinued vintage lines such as Santos, Tank, Lanières, Panthère, nouvelle vague... I do always buy their stuffs preloved. Yes, Cartier's resale value is terrible. I remember, almost 2O years ago, one of my rich brat foreign classmates at university got totally broke after his 1st year in Paris His dad didn't want to send him any money, so he had to either find a part-time job or sell all his luxury possessions. Of course, he chose the 2nd option. I went with him to the jeweler in rue Saint Honoré (the boutique still exists by the way) and I am still petrified, up to this day, recalling he sold his Love bracelet for barely 1000€. Had I known this piece would have been so popular 2 decades later, I would have bought his bracelet myself! haha Anyways, I have learnt a lot through this bad experience I had witnessed. I knew about the Love bracelet inspiration. Well, there is nothing really creepy about it. I mean, it is no news! Lethal or torture instruments are by essence very innovative when it comes to design. Jewelry designs have always been inspired by those objects anyways. Trinity, although designed by Jean Cocteau for Louis Cartier, was heavily inspired by Créole "Forçats" chains, which were the chains used by the French to knot the black slaves in the 18th/ 19th century. Your favourite CDC feature doesn't originally come from something cute or whimsical neither. All in all, I think Cartier pieces are a good stepping stone if we want to style our wrists and fingers. But it is better to mix and match with other brands if we want to avoid being a clone of each other IMHO. And there are so so many contemporary fine jewelry maisons that do produce equally beautiful pieces nowadays. I fell in love with Hermès rings because of or thanks to you (Can't find their rings in my size preloved). Chanel Coco crush line in champagne gold is also very elegant, Victoire de Castellane's designs for Dior are to die for but overpriced, Louis Vuitton's gold pieces also look decent if styled correctly, Messika, Apriati, Repossi.. I do like Italian brands such as Pomellato, Damiani, Buccelati, even Gucci and some of Bulgari's pieces (I do find their rings too tacky to my liking though). Japan's fine jewelry industry has countless brands that produce countless amazing and desirable designs. One of your suscribers recently introduced me to Sidney Garber. Thanks God, this brand is not available in France. Otherwise, my bank account would have been in the greatest pain !!!! I am not a fan of other traditional French maisons such Van Cleef, Boucheron, Piaget, Chopard on the other hand. Because of my French DNA, I have tried really hard over the years but I have never ever managed to click with their vibes. I am by no means an expert but maybe those latter are traditionally more specialized in gemology than in precious metals craftmanship... What do you think?

[@IamGPS]

So fascinating to hear your insights on how Cartier, a brand synonymous with French luxury is perceived in its home country. I had no idea, but I'm by no means surprised to hear that local luxury lovers are more intrigued by foreign brands than household names they've been surrounded by all their lives in some shape or form..you know what they say, we always think the grass is greener on the other side! What I've alway found interesting, however, - and please correct me if I'm wrong - that the two most popular pieces by Cartier, the Love and JUC bracelets are not even remotely close to what I'd associate with effortless French elegance..which I guess shouldn't come as a shock, considering they were both partially inspired by and designed in NYC. I don't think it makes you a snob at all! When you're investing so much money in a piece that you'll likely have in your life forever, you have to be excited by and drawn to either the design, quality, or heritage and I, myself, struggle to find that in most Cartier pieces because of how overplayed they have become. It's harder not to spot their pieces on social media than the other way around, and unlike other popular pieces, neither their quality nor the design value makes up for the lack of exhilaration. You're more than aware of my current love and hate relationship with Chanel, but I must admit the Coco Crush range has always intrigued me and I came close to buying a ring or two from the line several times. On the other hand, I've never been a the biggest fan of Messika's simpler pieces, even though I know how popular the brand is becoming. Their core idea has always reminded me of a basic design school graduation project..and not a good one 🙈 There're so many interesting new fine jewelry houses out there I've been intrigued by too, like Foundrae, Retrouvaí, and State Property 💎

[@anibabikian]

@@IamGPS The sweater looks very nice on you. How much is it?

[@patmon02]

Hi! I'm new to your channel, I really enjoy your content and insights into these brands. One thing that really bothers me about Cartier and other designers that offer fine jewelry is the true value of gold. The love bracelet is over an ounce of 18k gold which doesn't cost 6k. They mark these items up so high that in the end they're not worth it. Instead of the love bracelet, I can purchase several ounces of gold in the highest quality that won't depreciate in value. So, in terms of true investment, I don't think it's worth it.

[@IamGPS]

Absolutely! When it comes to designer fine jewelry, you're not only paying for the precious metal but also for the branding, design, and experience. So it's up to you whether you like the design enough to spend the extra money on it or not 😉

[@mpacia8295]

What you don’t understand is that many of these Cartier pieces hold their value and appreciate. You’re not only paying for the name, but for the history and impeccable quality. You can’t quantify the price of Cartier on price of gold alone. Yes it’s overpriced (I have a hard time at the prices as well) but I understand the value the jewelry holds. Sure, some people have lost bracelets (but I also find it hard to believe most people take care of their jewelry the way they should, but that’s a whole other subject), but when you hold one of these items there’s no mistaking the craftsmanship. Can you buy amazing jewelry for less somewhere else? Sure you can, but if at some point you want to resell for whatever reason, you will not get anything close to what your originally paid. That’s not true with Cartier. I know because I’ve spent so much money on other designer pieces and when I’ve tried to resell it’s priced at half what I paid. That never happens with Cartier pieces like the love bracelet or the juste in clou. They resell for the same as retail or close to it, depending on condition.

[@dawnlovescouture2644]

I don’t think either of these are anything special. They are literally everywhere. Almost every KZbinr has a Love or Juse un Clous item. They are not something to look twice at.
