Cartier Love Bracelets, How to spot a fake

Cartier Love bracelets are one of the most popular and iconic pieces of jewelry in the world. However, with their popularity comes the risk of counterfeit versions being sold. Here are some tips we have put together on how to spot the difference between a real and fake Cartier Love bracelet. 

1: Look for the hallmark

Look for the hallmark. All Cartier Love bracelets have a hallmark that includes the brand name and a serial number. The hallmark is usually located on the inside of the bracelet. If the bracelet doesn’t have a hallmark, or if the hallmark looks suspicious, it’s likely a fake. The text on most fake Cartier Bracelets will be much bigger.

2: Check the weight

Check the weight. A real Cartier Love bracelet is made of solid gold or platinum, which means it will have a significant weight to it. If the bracelet feels light or flimsy, it’s likely a fake.

3: Inspect the screws

Inspect the screws. The screws on a real Cartier Love bracelet should be perfectly aligned and flush with the bracelet. If the screws are crooked or don’t sit flush, it’s likely a fake.

4: Examine the engraving

Examine the engraving. All Cartier Love bracelets have the word “Cartier” engraved on them. The engraving should be clean, clear, and evenly spaced. Additionally, the font used for the engraving should be consistent with other cartier products. If the engraving is blurry or uneven, it’s likely to be a fake.

5: Look at the price

Look at the price. If the price of the bracelet seems too good to be true, it probably is. Cartier Love bracelets are expensive, and if you’re getting one for a fraction of the price, it’s likely a fake.
