Here are five ways to determine if your Cartier Love Bracelet is real\u2014or just a really good fake.<\/p>\n

1. Closely read the hallmarks and logos.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Cartier<\/p>\n

Every Cartier Love bracelet is stamped with a \u201challmark\u201d that indicates the metal quality. Love Bracelets made out of 18K gold are stamped with 18K, 750 or sometimes both numbers. Platinum Love Bracelets, meanwhile, are marked with the numerals 950. If those hallmarks are not impressed on your bracelet, it\u2019s definitely a warning sign.<\/p>\n

And double-check the spelling and typography of the Cartier logo. It the brand name is misspelled or not in the iconic cursive font, your bracelet is\u2014sorry to say\u2014a forgery.<\/p>\n

2. Feel its weight and evaluate its quality.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Across its entire collection, Cartier uses only high-quality and durable gold and platinum metals. In turn, an immediate giveaway is the weight of the bracelet. Depending on their size and metal, a Cartier Love Bracelet should weigh between 30 and 38 grams (roughly the equivalent of five to six US quarter coins). Fake bracelets oftentimes are comparatively much lighter than authentic Love Bracelets.<\/p>\n

Also areas of discoloration or chipping metal\u2014even more so if there is another color underneath it\u2014are indicators that the piece is not genuine.<\/p>\n

Cartier is also very meticulous with their quality control. Therefore, the screws of the Love Bracelet should always be in perfect alignment.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0Price compare.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Brand new standard yellow gold Cartier Love Bracelets retail for $6,300 USD and, because they are highly coveted and made of the finest materials by skilled craftsmen, they do not significantly depreciate in value. So keep that $6,300 figure in mind as you price compare; the quoted resale price should not waver too far from the original ticket price. So if the price seems too good to be true, it probably is.<\/p>\n

But one notable outlier here is the Charles Revson Love Bracelet. In the 1970s, Cartier partnered with Charles Revson, founder of Revlon Cosmetics, to release a special edition Love Bracelet. Stamped with \u201cCharles Revson\u201d on the inside, this iteration was a less expensive version of the original. To keep costs low, the Revson Love Bracelets were electroplated and unscrewed only on one side.

These vintage Revson Love Bracelets are in circulation but should be advertised and priced accordingly. Some vendors may not disclose that you are looking at a Revson Love Bracelet\u00a0and tag it as simply a Love Bracelet and pricing it as if it was a solid Love Bracelet. So beware if the price of the Love Bracelet you\u2019re eyeing seems unusually inexpensive.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0Verify the seller\u2019s reputation.<\/strong>
\nScrutinize the seller\u2019s website and research any customer reviews that can provide insight into the seller\u2019s legitimacy. Be wary of sellers who do not list where they\u2019re headquartered or do not indicate where their product is being shipped from.<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0Get an official appraisal.<\/strong>
\nAfter you receive your Cartier Love Bracelet\u2014even if you\u2019re confident it\u2019s 100% authentic\u2014you should have it independently appraised as proof positive you\u2019re in possession of the real thing.
