I would love an AMA from the women who are so obsessed with Meghan Markle they bring her up at every single opportunity.

Should she stop wearing it? That would be a complete waste.

LOL!!!

It's "blaringly" obviously that you're the type of girl who "would of" bought herself a Cartier love bracelet.

Please do change and learn yourself some English, Blaire.

I had to double check to make sure I had posted anonymously, because, interestingly, my name is Blaire. I didn't buy my own Love bracelet, my husband did.

Okay, you win at American idioms. Forgive me, I'm Canadian. I'll keep winning at beauty, fashion, and getting people to buy me bracelets.

Now that they have become staples (obviously I mean for the wealthy), it doesn't matter who buys it.

Yes, absurd to be a copycat at this age. (and at that price)

To all the people saying that the Love bangles are "tacky" or "trashy"... I'm confused. They are objectively a fairly minimalist piece of jewelry. Do I think that they are overpriced for what they are? No doubt! You can get a similar gold bangle for 1/3 the price, but this doesn't make the piece in poor taste. Maybe some of the people who wear them are trashy, but the piece itself is bordering on blandly understated.

You are missing the point. This particular piece of jewelry is meant to be a gift. It has a lock and a special screwdriver for your partner to put it on and take it off. OP is welcome to buy herself any other piece of jewelry, but it's pathetic for her to buy this one that is meant to a gift just because her friends have it. She should convince her husband to buy it for her.

NP. No, you are missing the point. That was the practice when they first came out (back when Cartier only sold them as pairs). That changed long, long ago.

OP, buy your damn bracelet and put it on yourself if you want. (I put mine on by myself when necessary. Just rest your wrist on a table or dresser and go slowly with the screwdriver.)

Lol, how ridiculously gimmicky.

Exactly. It’s pure marketing BS, which is even more of a turnoff than the appearance of the bracelet.

NP. Yep. I hate to use the word "nouveau" but sometimes it's inescapable.

PS and before anybody tears into me, I have other Cartier items, like a necklace from my grandmother that's probably worth three times this bracelet.

I have one I've been wearing since 2012 and once I've been wearing since 2018. They are still both in GREAT shape, they do not tarnish, yes they'll scratch, like any gold will.

What else is on your wrist? I thjnk they look best next to a watch. I don't like them single on an arm. Draws less attention. They blend well next to a watch and make for a great "stack"

Those peoples were fakes or replicas. Genuine Cartier love bangles do not tarnish.

There’s plenty on wear and tear on YouTube. It does happen.

Meh

I think they are timeless, my aunt got them in the 1980s and wore them until she passed away this past spring.
