Sell Cartier Love Jewelry in Los Angeles for Cash
Sell a Cartier Love bracelet, ring, cuff or earrings at our Lawndale counter near Torrance. Every Love piece can be described in one line, and we read that line back to you before any offer is made. Paid before you leave.
The Best Place to Sell Cartier Love Jewelry in Los Angeles
When you sell Cartier Love jewelry in Los Angeles, the first thing you should hear from a buyer is not a number. It is a description of your piece, in the terms the Love collection is actually sold in. South Bay Coin has bought signed designer jewelry from one Lawndale storefront since 1980, and a Love bracelet, ring or cuff is priced here by people who know the collection line by line.
The Love bracelet was designed by Aldo Cipullo for Cartier in 1969 and has kept the same form ever since: a flat oval band of 18 karat gold, closed with screws and marked with the screw motif all the way round. Few pieces of jewelry have stayed so constant for so long. That constancy is what makes a Love piece easier to sell well than most signed jewelry, as long as the buyer across the counter works from a description you can check.
We are a licensed California dealer and members of GIA, and we pay for the Cartier signature on intact Love pieces, not only for the gold inside them. Nothing is shipped, nothing is consigned, and your piece stays in front of you until you decide. Sellers come to us from Torrance, Redondo Beach, Manhattan Beach, Hawthorne and across Los Angeles County.
If your Love piece is one of several designer pieces you are weighing, our page on how to sell luxury jewelry in Los Angeles covers the other houses we buy, and our guide to selling other Cartier jewelry covers the rest of the Cartier collections. Plain unsigned gold goes through our gold jewelry buying counter.

How Much Is My Cartier Love Bracelet Worth?
A Cartier Love bracelet is sold the way a catalogue item is sold. Cartier offers it in set sizes, in yellow, rose and white gold, plain or with diamonds, and in a standard width alongside the slimmer small model and the open cuff. So nearly every Love bracelet in circulation can be written out in a single line: which Love piece, which gold, which size, what is set in it, and which closure it has.
That line is how the resale market files Love bracelets, and it is how every comparable sale is found. Two bracelets that share a line are, for pricing purposes, twins, and the Love has more twins than almost any other piece of signed jewelry. The inside of the band usually carries what you need to begin: the Cartier signature, the gold mark, the size and a serial number.
The most useful thing you can ask any buyer is to describe your bracelet back to you before quoting it. A buyer who cannot say which line your piece belongs to is pricing gold, not a Cartier. At our counter the description comes first, out loud, in those five facts, and the figure comes second, so you can hold our offer against any other on the same terms. Ask for the offer in the words the bracelet is sold in.
Condition, the red box and the certificate follow the line. They move a price up or down. They do not create one.
Sell a Cartier Love Bracelet With Added Diamonds
Around Los Angeles, a plain Love bracelet often comes back from a second jeweler with diamonds in it: a few stones along the band, or the whole surface paved. It is one of the most common changes made to any designer piece, and it matters more on a Love than almost anywhere else, because it takes the bracelet out of its line.
A factory diamond Love is its own catalogue piece, with Cartier stones set by Cartier. A plain Love with stones added later matches neither description. Gold was drilled away to seat the diamonds, and the stones carry no Cartier record, so the bracelet no longer has twins to be compared against. Buyers who price from a photo often discover this only when the piece arrives, which is exactly when offers change.
We buy added-diamond Love bracelets. We say at the start whether the stones look factory set or later set, and why. The bracelet is then priced for the Cartier that remains and the diamonds as diamonds, each part named before you hear a total. An added diamond is not a Cartier diamond. It is still a diamond, and it is still paid for, whether you drive in from Palos Verdes, Inglewood or Long Beach.

What Los Angeles Designer Jewelry Sellers Say
Questions About Selling Cartier Love Jewelry in LA
How much can I sell my Cartier Love bracelet for?
It depends on five facts: which Love piece it is, the gold colour, the size, whether diamonds are set and whether Cartier set them, and which closure it has. Condition and the box adjust the price from there. We read those five facts back to you before any figure, so you can compare offers line for line.
Where can I sell my Cartier Love bracelet in Los Angeles?
South Bay Coin buys Cartier Love bracelets at 16916 Hawthorne Blvd in Lawndale, a short drive from Torrance, Redondo Beach, Manhattan Beach and the 405. Walk in during business hours with no appointment. Your bracelet is examined in front of you and, if you accept the offer, paid for before you leave.
Can I sell Cartier Love jewelry without the box or certificate?
Yes. You can sell Cartier Love jewelry without the red box, the certificate or the receipt. The piece itself carries the signature, the gold mark and the serial number we need. Paperwork can help a price at the margin, so bring it if you still have it, but its absence never stops a sale.
Do you buy a Cartier Love bracelet with aftermarket diamonds?
Yes. Diamonds added after a Love bracelet left Cartier are common, and we buy those bracelets. We tell you first whether the stones look factory set or later set and why, then price the Cartier bracelet as it now stands and the diamonds as diamonds, stating each part before you hear a total.
Can I sell my Cartier Love bracelet without the screwdriver?
Yes. The screwdriver is an accessory and the bracelet is the piece, and a lost screwdriver is one of the most common things Love sellers mention. Bring it if you have it. If the bracelet is still closed on your wrist, say so when you call so we can plan your visit properly.
Do you buy the Cartier Love cuff and the small Love bracelet?
Yes. The open Love cuff, the slimmer small Love bracelet and the standard width bracelet are three different pieces in the collection, each with its own line in the resale market. We name which one you have before any offer, because pricing one as another is a common and costly mistake.
Is a scratched Cartier Love bracelet still worth selling?
Yes. The Love bracelet was designed to be closed on and worn every day, so fine scratches are the normal state of a used one, not a defect. Bring it exactly as it is, without polishing it first. Dents, a bent band or a loose screw are noted and explained before any figure.
Do you buy Cartier Love rings and wedding bands?
Yes. Love rings and wedding bands are bought in every width and gold colour, plain or with diamonds, singly or as a matched pair. A ring is described the same way a bracelet is, by piece, gold, size and stones, and you hear that description from us before you hear a number.
How do I know if my Cartier Love bracelet is real?
Look inside the band for the Cartier signature, the 750 gold mark and a serial number, then compare the finish and the closure with a piece you know is genuine. The Love is heavily copied, so we examine yours in front of you and say what we find. A copy in solid gold is still bought as gold.
Is it better to auction Cartier Love jewelry or sell it outright?
Auction lets bidders compete, but you usually ship the piece, wait for a sale date and pay a commission from the result. When you sell Cartier Love jewelry outright at our counter, you hear a described offer with the piece still in your hand and are paid before you leave. Time and certainty decide it.
Ready to Sell Your Cartier Love Jewelry?
