Like everyone under the sun do I too want a Cartier Love Bracelet? YES! I cannot justify the cost at $7350 pre tax. The weight of the Cartier Love Bracelet is between 30-38 grams made of 18K gold. The price of 18K gold per gram is around $46. This means that for the 38 gram bracelet the value of the gold (excluding the up charge for Cartier) is $1748. For the price of the Cartier Love Bracelet, you can actually get a solid 24K bracelet handmade by a jeweler using inspiration from the original.
Now that we got our calculations in, we can get to the dupes. The Cartier love bracelet is a timeless piece because of its unique screw like design. In my opinion a dupe does not knock off a brand, but instead encompass a similar idea. The bracelets below are obviously different as one is the original Cartier Love Bracelet and the other is the dupe.
