How Much is My Cartier Love Bracelet Worth?

Cartier Love Bracelets are consistently one of TrueFacet’s best-selling items on our marketplace. And one of the most common questions we receive is, “What is my Cartier Love Bracelet worth?”

Speaking in very broad strokes, a classic Cartier Love Bracelet on TrueFacet will resell for $5,000, earning any consignor upwards of $4,250. But some variations of the Love Bracelet can resell for over $8,000!

The earning potential of your Cartier Love Bracelet is influenced by its size, metal type and overall style. We break down how these factors ultimately affect how much you can earn when reselling your Love Bracelet.

Size
Cartier Love Bracelets are carried in size 15-21 cm. The most popular sizes are 16 and 17 which, in turn, fetch a higher resale value and sell faster.

Metal Type
When the Cartier Love Bracelet debuted in 1969, it was only available in yellow gold plating. Since then, Cartier has expanded into solid yellow, white and rose gold.

The classic yellow gold still leads the pack and is by far and large the most sought after metal type for the Cartier Love Bracelet—and therefore has the highest resale value.

However, the trendier rose gold is quickly turning into a fan favorite and we’ve seen an uptick in its overall resale value. White gold meanwhile is still a popular option but is not as in demand as yellow or rose gold.

Diamonds
Cartier now offers their Love Bracelets in a myriad of diamond and gemstone combinations including fully covered pavé versions and Love Bracelets with garnet and amethyst stones in lieu of screws. Love Bracelets with precious stones retail far above the classic Love Bracelet.

Although diamonds usually yield a higher resale value being that they are more expensive to begin with, they are not as widely popular as the classic Cartier Love Bracelet. Therefore, it may take longer to sell.

Model or Style
Cartier recently (and quietly) released a new Cartier Love Bracelet, SM in February 2017 that is a thinner version of the original Love Bracelet. Unlike its predecessor, which is locked with a screwdriver kept by your partner, this updated Love Bracelet includes a self-fastening closure to symbolize self-love and independence. The Cartier Love Bracelet, SM has seen an uptick in sales and is starting to command a higher resale value as they become more and more sought after.

Cartier offers a cuff version of the Love Bracelet which, unlike the original, has an open back for easy and quick removal. These retail for less than the classic Love Bracelet and have a proportionately lower resale value.
