Comment on Cartier Love Bracelets by AnnieP

Cartier Love Bracelets DO NOT come in sterling silver. They come in White 18K gold, Platinum and 18K Yellow Gold. Repeat, they do not come in sterling silver unless they are fake. The bracelets can feature diamonds, gemstones as well as a diamond pave’ finish.

These bracelets ARE NOT gold plated UNLESS it is a bracelet that was produced for Charles Revson,Inc., (now Revlon) that was a perfume giveaway or could be purchased for $20.00! This bracelet had the same screw design on the exterior but on the inside they are clearly marked Electroplate and normally said, “Aldo Cipullo for Charles Revson, Inc.” (In some form or another) Aldo Cipullo was the designer (at Cartier) of the Cartier Love Bracelet. Also, these bracelets featured one side with a screw and one hinged side. They also came with their own specialy designed screwdriver that was flat and one dimensional.

The price of the 18K Yellow Gold Cartier Love Bracelet today (10/30/2011) is $5575.00. (Cartier.com)

Of course, the bracelets can be purchased second hand at jewelry stores (sold as estate pieces) pawn shops and online (eBay and other sites). Resale prices today are quite high due to the current market price of gold. Beware as they are widely copied, produced and manufactured in foreign countries and have either stainless steel or sterling silver as a base metal and then electroplated in 14K gold, white gold or a mystery metal.

The Love Bracelet is as coveted and popular today as it was in the 1970′s. They are virtually indestructible and with a quick polish look brand new. Considered heirlooms, they are often passed down to lucky daughters and granddaughters.

Does anyone know what year they were first created and if there is a way to tell how old a figaro bracelet really is.

Please correct me if i’m wrong. I have always been told that when you’re wearing a brooch on your breast, you shouldn’t wear a necklace! Is this true?

Also, can i wear a brooch on my hat and still wear a necklace?

I will appreciate your prompt response.

Thanks… Priscilla Omene.- Lagos, Nigeria.

I love silver bracelets! Especially charm bracelets, they are the best piece of jewelery to customize and gives the customer a chance to be unique.

Comment on Tanzanite Jewelry by Tanz

The violetish-blue color of tanzanite is brilliant. Indeed, rarer than diamond and its scarcity will cause the value to soar manifold. In October 2002, the American Gem Trade Association announced Tanzanite as a December birthstone, sharing the honor with zircon and turquoise.
