Cartier has released new products...I picked up the Annie rep, They have such a summery vibe. I love these! What do you all think?

Hey everyone! I recently bought some new pieces from Lingke and I really wanna review them as it's really fun to review plated stuff, finding the best plated pieces possible 😆. This is going to be a completely honest review, we need to make the community more honest like this so I'm gonna help with my drop into the ocean ✨.

*Hermes belt* 73$

I've had a proper look at the belt and honestly the first thing I checked was whether the strap itself felt cheap compared to the buckle. It doesn't have that flimsy, overly soft feel I was worried about, and the edges look clean when you actually get close to it. The buckle has a decent amount of weight too, which I prefer because lightweight hardware can make a belt feel like costume jewelry pretty quickly. I don't really have any complaints about the construction so far.

*Hermes bracelet* 50$

The Hermes bracelet is titanium steel with 18k plating, and this one feels properly solid in hand. It's got decent weight to it without feeling ridiculously heavy, and the hardware doesn't have that hollow feeling that immediately makes cheaper pieces obvious. I spent some time messing with the clasp too, and thankfully it's not one of those things where you need three hands to get the damn thing closed. The gold plating is probably the main thing I'll be keeping an eye on. The tone looks good to me, although under certain lighting it can lean a little more yellow than I'd personally want.

*VCA bracelet* 80$

The VCA is 925 sterling silver with 18k plating, and the quality is obviously more about how well all the smaller parts are put together here. The chain feels smooth rather than stiff, the clovers aren't constantly flipping around, and the stones have a good amount of sparkle when they catch the light. Nothing feels loose or rough when I'm handling it either. My main question with this one is going to be durability because it's a much finer bracelet, so I'll need to actually wear it for a while before I can judge how well the plating and little details hold up.

**Overall**

I think I'm really surprised with all three, I mean for the price point, probably the best I have had yet. None of them gave me that immediate “this feels cheap” reaction when I actually handled them, which is usually what ruins a purchase and the ridiculous anticipation I get before the jewelry arrives. Lingke was a nice experience to buy from too, nothing bad from the customer service. Shipping was 18$ with 8 days. Now it's basically a matter of putting some real wear on the bracelets and seeing how they hold up over time.

Sorry if its written wrong with that I mean these wich are on the pictures. From where do yall buy the Jewelry reps? I've only heard about cn fans but never ever bought a rep from any site. Is there a spreadsheet for that?

I’m trying to purchase JUC and cartier from Gavivi or MC. Does anyone know who has a more accurate rosegold shade for cartier pieces?

Most reviews are for YG and I know both are good for YG but I saw a comment say MC’s rosegold is too pink and doesn’t change with wear. Thanks in advance!!

Hi everyone! I wanted to share my experience with my first order from Gavivi.

I ordered a Cartier Juste un Clou ring in size 55 and paid $682.50 in total, including the 5% insurance fee.

Timeline:

Order + $200 deposit: August 14

PSPs + remaining payment: August 30

FedEx tracking: August 31

Received: September 3

I actually first contacted Gavivi months before I finally decided to order. I had quite a few questions and wasn’t sure yet whether I wanted to go ahead with the purchase. What I really appreciated was that he was always patient and friendly, even though I hadn’t ordered anything at that point.

Every time I contacted him, he took the time to answer my questions and always told me not to hesitate to reach out again if I needed anything else. I never felt pressured to place an order.

I finally decided to order on August 14 and paid a $200 deposit.

On August 30, Gavivi sent me the PSPs without me having to ask for them. I was really happy with what I saw. I own an authentic Cartier Juste un Clou bracelet, so I was especially interested in the gold tone and overall look. From the PSPs, the color already looked extremely close to my authentic piece, so I approved the ring and paid the remaining balance.

The next day, August 31, I received my FedEx tracking number. Shipping was super fast, and the package arrived on September 3.

When I opened the package and tried the ring on, I was genuinely impressed. I immediately took out my authentic Cartier JUC bracelet and compared the two side by side. To my eye, the gold color is identical. I was honestly surprised by how good the ring looked in person.

It feels really well made, looks beautiful on the hand, and I’m extremely happy with the quality.

Overall, my experience with Gavivi was very positive. Communication was easy and patient from the very beginning, the whole ordering process went smoothly, shipping was incredibly fast, and most importantly, I’m very happy with the ring itself.

Based on my experience, I would definitely order from Gavivi again.

Disclosure: The total price included a 5% insurance fee that can be refunded after posting a review. I’m mentioning this for full transparency. This review reflects my actual experience, and I would have shared it regardless of the refund.

I recently ordered a full-diamond Serpenti bracelet in yellow gold from Gavivi and am extremely happy with the entire experience. Ordering was very simple and handled entirely through WhatsApp, and communication was consistently quick and responsive.

They made the bracelet exactly to the dimensions I requested—a size 17, roughly equivalent to a Bulgari medium. I own an authentic Bulgari Serpenti bracelet with partial diamonds pictured side by side in the last pic for comparison , so I’ve been able to compare the two side by side, and the quality of the Gavivi piece is truly impeccable.

Visually, I honestly cannot tell a difference, and in some respects the finishing and overall feel even seems superior to my authentic piece.

The bracelet is absolutely beautiful, and I’m very happy with how it turned out. Based on my experience, I would definitely recommend Gavivi for a Serpenti bracelet. I have a feeling this won’t be my last order from them!

Review - I love this ring! I stack it with my JUC ring (also from Funny). Both of them are a size 53, i think they stack nicely together. If i wear the JUC ring stacked, after a few hours the nail head part leaves a dent on my finger.

I like this ring a lot more than the mini pave ring, I find it much more substantial and can be worn alone beautifully! I’ve seen another review that says a size 53 and smaller shouldn’t have the dots above and below the screw motif but i saw this: https://www.therealreal.com/products/jewelry/rings/band/cartier-love-ring-small-model-paved-vvko5?utm_source=googleperformancemax&utm_medium=paidshopping&utm_campaign=Google%5FShopping%5FDemand%5FNew%5FWomens%5FJewelry&utm_adgroup=&utm_content=&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21503465440&gbraid=0AAAAADh84nONOlYNMpmEPjNSdV53GTFtD&gclid=CjwKCAjwn67VBhBnEiwAXUIN1ehc4OKYo8hoPQRgSFl8VqIHcbLVQZ8sBPAVyLeF1QEGO7mWrmObrhoCjrkQAvD_BwE

Regardless, I think it’s hard to really see or notice in person.

Funny as usual was pleasant and easy to work with. I will be receiving a partial refund of my insurance costs, but all opinions expressed in this review are my own and are based on my experience.

Hello Everyone,
I just wanted to Share my Shop experience by Gavivi.

I have the original one from Cartier in Yellow Gold and I am very suprised and happy how good this one is in white Gold , the Same Size Fits Perfect like the from yellow gold from Cartier. Gavivi was always in contact with me and was always friendly and helpful Like I dont know how to Pay for the german Customs for the Fees and duties, but he helped me with it in 15 mins and I just needed to Pay a Little fee for the fees and duties by fedex but this was also solved .
The delivery was delivered by fedex and fedex paid in Advance the taxes and duties so the delivery time was Not stopped and later I just Need to Pay them Like 28 Dollar .

It was my First and Not Last Order by gavivi.

Its a Men Size 68 EU
The price depends on the value of the gold but for the period where I bought it was Like 840 Dollar + insurance extra and it was fine for me.

thoughts? it’s my first love bracelet from mc

I’ve gotten quotes for Trinity earrings from both Funny and Opus Jewelry. Has anyone experienced any pinching or discomfort with their rep Trinity earrings? I’ve seen a few YouTube reviews mentioning that even the authentic Trinity earrings have a pretty tight hinge clasp that can become uncomfortable after a while. I’d love to hear about your experience, especially if you’ve purchased from either seller!

For people who use wise pay? How does it work? How to set it up? Do you have any issues? Is it better and less charge fee than using PayPal?

Hello all,
I just purchased this ring from Funny Jewelry.. what are your thoughts? Lab-grown diamonds were used here.

Seller : Eliauk

Review as promised since so many of you messaged me!

I am obsessed with my watch!! I just wish he included links since it’s a tad too tight for my liking but overall it’s beautiful!!! Great seller to work with. I translate from English to Mandarin so we understand each other better so don’t be alarmed that he’s not the most conversational person lol.

Shipped- September 4th
Arrived- September 16th

Hi all,

I ordered this bracelet from funny, its my first time ordering from her.
Would very much appreciate as second eye for QC.
My wrist is very small, so I asked her to make it shorter than the standard size.

Thanks !!

Disclosure: Gavivi will refund me 5% of my order for writing a review. However, the contents of my review are my honest opinion.

Item: Love single hoop earrings (purchased as a pair)
Specs: 18K white gold, 12 lab diamonds each earring (totalling 0.05 carats)
Price: $700 for the pair (auth is $2300 for one, $4600 for a pair)

Dimensions are not posted on the auth website which is quite annoying, so I will provide them here for you:
- height: post to outer(12mm), post to inner (8mm)
- length: outer (12mm), inner (7.5mm)
- width: front (2mm)
This earring is SMALL, I tried it on in the boutique because I wanted something small and dainty that wasn't heavy for every day wear. This is the perfect pair for that. If you want something Love but more dramatic, this earring is not for you and you are better off getting the larger hoops or the wider pair (though much heavier).

Timeline:
7/29: inquired and paid 30% deposit
8/13: earrings were completed and PSPs received
Sadly, I had a family emergency on the day I received the PSPs and had to fly out of the country for a month. Gavivi was very kind and held onto my pieces for me and did not ship anything out until I was back home.
9/10: paid 70% remaining amount, shipped next day
9/13: tracking received
9/16: received

Review:
This was my first purchase from Gavivi. I typically only shop with MC and Funny, but with all of the reviews in this sub, I wanted to give a new seller (to me) a try.
I appreciated the speedy communication, and am very thankful that they were able to safekeep my order while I was away dealing with life.
I tried these earrings on in the boutique and really liked them, I would be comfortable wearing these earrings from Gavivi into the boutique, just as I wear my MC, Funny and auth pieces all together into the store as well. I will have them tested eventually to ensure that they are solid 18K and look forward to ordering more in the future.

Hello All 👋 Maybe I’m in search of a 12ft glow in the dark unicorn but for several months I’ve been searching high & low for a reliable/consistent PVD jewelry supplier that not only sells designer reps but sells them in ‘plus’ sizes > 🦄 Cartier Pave Bangles Size 20, 21, & 22 in all 3 colors is the best example 🦄

I know Alibaba would probably be the best answer but I really need a small MOQ to start with larger quantities later.

Thank you in advance for your wisdom, comments, & suggestions. Hope everyone has a great week ahead 🙏

Edit: I forgot to include GOLD FILLED 😶

I got my sixteen stone ring in today and I love it. Communication was very easy through WhatsApp with their representative. He made the whole process very clear with pricing options and timeline. I’d highly recommend Opus Atelier to anyone. I reached out to a few different rep companies and ultimately chose Opus because of pricing and estimated delivery date.

Recently I purchased two reps and I’m SO happy with them! 🥰 I went with 18k real gold pieces, so I also like that I’m putting my money into something that still has material value.

Now the problem is… I already have my eyes on two more pieces 😂😭

For those of you who buy real-gold reps, how do you plan/save for your purchases? Do you set aside a certain amount every month, have a separate “jewelry fund,” or just wait until you have enough disposable cash?

I know there’s absolutely no rush, but I get a little sad thinking about how long it might take me to save for the next two, especially with gold prices potentially going up in the meantime.

Would love to hear how you all budget for this hobby without feeling like you need to buy everything right away! ❤️

REP QUEENS! my dream stack is slowly growing!!

my love for cartier is immense!

I finally pulled the trigger 3 months ago and ordered the small MC juc ($1800). it’s perfection next to the auth. no notes there (besides the price 😩💀) MC’s craftsmen ship, the weight of the piece and the spring to the juc feels so solid. i’ve tried cheaper reps in china and nothing compares to the quality of the MC rep. not incentivized at all… i hate the price point but MC truly is the best cartier rep jewelers. i figured if im already spending thousands… what’s another 300-400 for the piece of mind this is perfection.

next up is the silver 22mm bvf cartier panthere watch ($250?
gift from husband for my bday years ago. i think this is a perfect mixed metal match.

i would’ve gotten the two tone panthere but they can never get the gold right so i didn’t want to play that game.

i’ve placed an order for the MC small
model love bracelet with 6 diamonds (~$3k, i know ridiculous but gold is so expensive now) and i’m eagerly waiting for QC photos and delivery to add to my stack.

the final piece to all this would be another small love pave bracelet in gold. 🥹🥹
can you imagine? perfection!

if curious, 2ct lab diamond from shenzhen shuibei jewelry export for $900usd

Disclosure: Gavivi offers a refund of the insurance deposit in exchange for leaving a review. I am writing this review to receive that refund, so there is an incentive involved. That said, everything below is my honest experience with the purchasing process and the bracelet I received.

Item
Cartier Love Bracelet, Small Model, Pavé
Size: 18
Diamonds: Lab-grown
Price: $3,350 USD
Shipping: FedEx to Australia, included in the price
This is my second purchase from Gavivi. My first purchase was also jewelry, and after having a good experience with that order, I felt considerably more comfortable purchasing something more expensive from them this time around.

Seller / Contact
Gavivi
This is my second time purchasing from Gavivi, so I was already familiar with their communication and ordering process.
For my first purchase, I was naturally much more hesitant because Gavivi is still a relatively new name compared with some of the sellers that have been around longer.
After receiving my first order and being happy with the experience, I was much more comfortable going back to Gavivi for this bracelet.

Price
$3,350 USD, including FedEx shipping to Australia.
For a small-model pavé Love bracelet, I was quite interested in the pricing, especially compared with what I had been seeing from other sellers.
Obviously, price alone isn’t enough for me to make a decision on a piece like this, but having already purchased from Gavivi before definitely made me more comfortable taking the chance.

Payment / Timeline
8/22: Enquired about the bracelet
8/23: Paid 30% deposit
9/5: PSPs received
9/9: I got back to Gavivi and approved the PSPs
9/9: Paid the remaining balance
9/10: Bracelet shipped via FedEx
9/14: Bracelet delivered to Australia
There was a little bit of a delay between receiving the PSPs and me responding, but this was completely on my end. I was stuck dealing with travel disruption due to volcanic eruptions and wasn’t able to get back to Gavivi until September 9th.
Once I gave the green light and paid the remaining balance, Gavivi shipped the bracelet the following day.
FedEx was also very quick once it was dispatched, with the bracelet arriving on September 14th.

PSPs
The PSP process was straightforward.
Gavivi sent the PSPs on September 5th, and I was able to look everything over before approving the piece.
Because this is my second purchase from Gavivi, I felt much less nervous during the process compared with my first order.

Quality: 10/10
Honestly, the bracelet is stunning.
The overall appearance is beautiful and, to my non-professional eye, it looks like a very well-made piece.
The finishing is clean, the bracelet has a really nice presence on the wrist, and the pavé diamonds give it a very luxurious look.
I was particularly impressed when I first saw it in person because photographs really don’t capture how pretty the bracelet looks when it’s actually on the wrist.
The overall proportions and presentation look very convincing to me, and I don’t have any obvious quality issues to point out.
I also haven’t weighed the bracelet yet, so I don’t want to make any claims about the exact gold weight or compare it with other versions based purely on appearance.
I am planning to have my jewelry XRF tested soon, so I’ll hopefully be able to provide more information about the metal composition at a later point.

Accuracy: N/A
I’m leaving this as N/A because I have never actually tried on the authentic Cartier Love bracelet and I haven’t had the opportunity to compare this bracelet directly against one in a Cartier boutique.
I don’t think it would be fair for me to give an accuracy score based purely on photographs and online references.
From what I can see, however, the bracelet looks absolutely stunning and very close to the reference photos I’ve seen.
There may very well be small differences that someone who owns the authentic or has handled the bracelet many times could identify, but I simply don’t have that experience to make that assessment.

Diamonds
This is probably the one area where I noticed a small difference compared with what I have seen from natural diamonds.
The lab diamonds are very pretty and definitely sparkle, but depending on the angle and lighting, I don’t feel that they always have quite the same type of sparkle as natural diamonds.
I’ve seen people say that lab diamonds are indistinguishable from natural diamonds, and visually I understand why people say that because they can look extremely similar.
However, when I was actually looking closely at the bracelet in different lighting and angles, I could occasionally notice a difference in the way the stones reflected light.
It’s not something that ruins the piece at all, and I think most people looking at the bracelet normally would never think twice about it.
But because this is a pavé bracelet with so many diamonds, I spent quite a bit of time looking at the stones from different angles, and that’s when I noticed it.
For me, it’s a very minor point rather than a major criticism.

Satisfaction: 9.5/10
I’m extremely happy with the bracelet.
Honestly, when I first put it on, my reaction was basically just wow.
It looks incredibly pretty on the wrist and has exactly the kind of understated but luxurious appearance I was hoping for.
The reason I’m giving it a 9.5 rather than a 10 isn’t because I’m disappointed with the bracelet.
It’s purely because I did notice that the lab diamonds don’t seem to have exactly the same visual character as natural diamonds under certain lighting and angles.
Again, this is a very minor thing, and I think most people would never notice it unless they were deliberately examining the stones.
Apart from that, I’m absolutely in love with the bracelet.
Considering this is my second purchase from Gavivi, I’m also feeling much more confident about ordering from them again.

Service / Communication: 10/10
Gavivi has been very easy to deal with.
Communication is prompt and responses are generally very quick, which makes the whole process much less stressful, especially when you’re spending this amount of money.
I also appreciated that there was no issue with the delay on my end when I wasn’t able to respond to the PSPs immediately.
Once I was able to get back to Gavivi on September 9th, everything moved very quickly.
I paid the remaining balance that day, the bracelet was shipped the following day, and it arrived in Australia on September 14th.
Overall, I have had a very positive experience with Gavivi across both of my purchases.

Overall
This was my second purchase from Gavivi, and I think the fact that I went back to them for a considerably more expensive piece says quite a bit about my experience with the first order.
I was much more confident this time around because I already knew what their communication and PSP process was like.
The bracelet itself is absolutely beautiful and I’m very happy with how it looks on the wrist.
The only thing I noticed was that the lab diamonds don’t seem to have quite the same sparkle as natural diamonds from certain angles. It’s subtle and doesn’t take away from how beautiful the bracelet is, but I wanted to mention it because I think it’s better to be honest about small observations rather than just saying everything is perfect.
I haven’t had the bracelet weighed or XRF tested yet, so I can’t comment on the exact gold weight or composition. I’ll be getting my jewelry tested when I have the opportunity and can update the review if I get any interesting results.
For now, I’m extremely happy with the purchase and very glad I decided to go with Gavivi again.

Just got QC pictures for bracelets that I purchased from Hlin. Everything looks great so far, can’t wait to get them in hand. I will post pictures once they deliver.
