How to tell if Cartier Love bracelet is real

You can tell if your Cartier Love bracelet is real by checking the “Cartier” engraving inside the bracelet. Authentic bracelets have perfectly-spaced characters.

1. Cartier engraving

1.1. Mejor réplica

• Auténtico: Thinner “©” copyright symbol and more legible “Cartier” text.
• Falso: Thicker “©” and “Cartier” logo, making the letters way harder to read.

1.2. Low replica

• The fake bracelet has its “Cartier” text looking too small and too thin.
• The fake “Cartier” logo also looks too small on the fake.
• Notice how the fake logo is placed too high, as it is too far from the bottom side of the bracelet.

The authentic Cartier Love bracelet has its text looking more defined and it is aligned in the middle of the metal.

2. Serial number

• Auténtico:
  • Size text: Number “1” has a shorter line at the top.
  • Serial number: Thicker letters, properly fit deep into the metal.
• Falso:
  • Size text: The “1” has a longer line at the top.
  • Serial number: Thinner letters, not looking as solid as the genuine.

Furthermore, see how the “0” in the fake “DSM820” serial number is too thin. The “0” in the real “FXP903” code is way thicker and easy to read.

3. Locking system

• The fake Cartier Love bracelet has thicker screws on the interior side.
• The fake bracelet’s screw comes out of the bracelet too much, while the authentic bracelet has its button fit deeper into the bracelet.

Nota: The size of the screw doesn’t vary from one side to another on the authentic bracelets.

4. Gold (Au750)

In Cartier bracelets, “Au750” means the item uses 18K Gold:

• 75% authentic Gold
• 25% other metals

High-end replicas use actual 18K Gold, however the quality isn’t anywhere near the original’s.

In this comparison, we’re looking at the “Au750” engraving, as the gold material’s quality is nearly impossible to measure through pictures.

• Auténtico: Thick, solid letters — deeply engraved into the fabric.
• Falso: Thinner letters, not fit any deep into the metal.

5. Diamonds

This tell may only be applicable to Cartier bracelets with diamonds on the exterior side.

• Auténtico: Shiny, reflective diamonds.
• Falso: Less shiny an powerful diamonds, not as opulent as the real ones.

To properly check the authenticity of diamonds, we highly suggest taking your bracelet to a jeweler.

They always have the highest-quality equipment which easily tells if your diamonds are fake or not.

At Legit Check, we’re only looking at diamond’s appearance — not at its composition.

6. Reflectiveness

Put your bracelet into the light for this step — natural or artificial light, whichever works better for you.

• Auténtico: Powerful, reflective of the light landing on top of the bracelet.
• Falso: Less powerful shine. Doesn’t reflect enough light.

7. Exterior screws

This step doesn’t apply to the diamond-engraved Love bracelets, as diamonds usually replace these screws.

If your Cartier bracelet has diamonds instead of these screw lines, you should skip to the next tell.

• The fake bracelet has its circle and its line looking too thick.
• Then, the fake Cartier Love bracelet also has its line in the circle looking too short and too boxy.

8. Shape

• The fake bracelet is too big compared to the retail bracelet.

Looking at the authentic Cartier Love bracelet, you can see how it is narrower and less wide than the fake bracelet.

9. Box

9.1. Exterior

• The fake bracelet has its “Cartier” text on the box looking too big and too thick.

The original Cartier Love bracelet has its text thinner and smaller compared to the fake box’s printing.

9. Interior

• The fake Cartier Love bracelet’s box has its interior “Cartier” text looking too big and too thick.

The authentic box has its text looking smaller and thinner.

10. Pin

• The authentic bracelet has the top of its pin clear, with no printings.
• The fake pin has an extra “Cartier” logo. That should never be there on a genuine product.

Authentic Cartier Love bracelets never have this extra “Cartier” text.

11. Certificate

• Auténtico:
  • The inscriptions are thinner.
  • There is enough space between the words, spelling “authentic Cartier”.
• Falso:
  • The stamp and text are too thick.
  • There is no space between the text, making it look like it spells “authenticCartier”.

Below are two other authentic example, for your reference:

Tell fake Cartier Love Bracelets (in 60 seconds)

1. Examine the engravings on the interior side of your bracelet. Fake bracelets often have thin and small text.
2. Analyze the pin of your bracelet. Counterfeit Cartier Love bracelets may have “Cartier” text on the pin, while authentic ones are clean and empty.
3. Inspect the notorious Love exterior elements. Counterfeit bracelets might feature thick elements and a short, boxy, and thick line in the circle.

The comprehensive 6 steps mentioned earlier might not be as feasible when you’re pressed for time or considering an online purchase for the bracelets.

This is precisely why we’ve curated a swift 60-second authentication method for your bracelet.
