Congrats on your purchase! The d’amour is such a gorgeous pop of light on the neck.Thank you so much @Serpenti_Love @pinkdewy @Maria333 @Moxisox @m-s-m-d for all your really helpful insights and advice!! I was convinced by the Youtube reviews at first that talked about the d'amour necklace flipping and turning (especially the smaller sizes), but your reviews here have been extremely helpful. After trying in store again with my own extender, testing out different lengths and just moving around to see how the necklace moves on my neck, I felt that it didn't turn beyond 20 degrees to the left or right, and the diamond would flip yes but flip right back again, so that's all fine with me. The diamond definitely rides up the neck about 2cm or so though, no matter what length the full necklace is, and that's normally where the diamond will settle on the neck for most of the time. Something I took note of. Overall I was happy with the wear of the necklace despite the small flippings, so I happily bought the large d'amour necklace!I will of course still observe how it wears over time!

Hey @BlackGrayRed! I found this YouTube video comparing the 2 necklaces below. Cartier’s website does indicate the carat (ie large is 0.18). If I remember correctly, my SA said they don’t provide the specs on the d’amour (since they are small and no cert is provided) but generally as a standard, their minimum is a D color and VS1/2 inclusion.
I’d recommend the d’amour
I have seen this video. It’s super helpful and informative!
Various people mentioned the “ears” on the Tiffany DBTY, and now I can’t unsee them.

I can’t speak for Tiffany but Cartier does not provide a cert for this necklace. The size is listed but color/clarity is “high” as I was told. The C de Cartier and 1895 necklace comes with a GIA cert

you are so sweet. I'm happy that our input help ‘enable’ hahaha.I've started wearing my d’amour at the shortest setting (since I'm layering with the bead chain) and it’ll try to flip on occasion but it just falls back into place. As for it turning around - it will happen with any necklace. I haven't had mine turn much throughout the day or even when I wake up in the morning.... Maybe I just don't move around much?
Again, very happy for you! Enjoy and we look forward to see more pics!
Not too many YT review of the d’amour...perhaps a content idea for you?
Haha I’m also starting to think that my necklace doesn’t move because I don’t move around much. I have a stiff neck so the diamond stays in the same spot throughout the dayAwwww

Congrats with your purchase!! It's a nice feeling to cross something off your wishlist right before the price increaseThank you so much @Serpenti_Love @pinkdewy @Maria333 @Moxisox @m-s-m-d for all your really helpful insights and advice!!

This is a great video comparing all three sizes:
Could you tell me how long did you have to wait for Cartier to extend your necklace please?
Hi! Sorry I cannot remember how long it took but should be within weeks. Your SA will be able to advise when you bring yours.
Hmmmm yes! As soon as I get my hands on one of these beauties I will!Not too many YT review of the d’amour...perhaps a content idea for you?
