Is all of the cactus line high jewelry? I love that collection also, and it looks like some of the more moderately priced items are not high jewelry. Unless I am misinterpreting the item codes?

It doesn’t look like all of Cactus is H. I’m far from an expert, I’ve just been stalking one of the necklaces for the last 8 months. I’ve been looking at the reference numbers when you open up the website towards the bottom of the page.

BTW, Your website has a lot more of the collection than mine does. Cartier US is only showing six pieces right now.

The gold ring with the scattering of diamonds is Ref. N4748500, while the emerald and carnelian earrings are Ref. H8000238.

If I’m reading it correctly, the cactus with stones would be considered high line, while the solid gold is main line.

Sadly, the necklace I like (which I attached a picture of below) has lapis and chrysoprase, and at $82k, I was torn between picking it up or a couple of vintage pieces. With a 3-10% increase, I’ll probably just go vintage.

I am in the US also, unfortunately many of the items I like in this line as well as some others are not available here. Selfridges in London will ship to the USA, and they do have a few more items. I think that the gemstone cactus necklace is so stunning. If it is possible for you to fit it in your budget, I think it would bring you joy for a lifetime. Otherwise vintage pieces are always so special also. I would love to know the vintage pieces you are considering, if you feel comfortable sharing. I really love vintage Cartier jewelry.

DID posted that US price increase will will be on April 18. Looks like the classic love is going from $6900 to $7350

My SA (Malaysia) also just confirmed that price increase will kick in on 18 Apr, thst despite we just had a round of increase in Feb, average price up of 5%, which included love, trinity, JUC then. No indication of how much will be the increase for this coming round.

Omg so yes this tells me that just bcuz Canada had an increase not long ago doesn’t mean anything to them!!
I’m to go either this Friday/Sat to go try again and then finally buy.

I’ve been watching videos comparing regular, small and cuff and after trying them all I believe I know what I’ve decided on
