I decided on the panthere necklace… but which?!

It’s this one. It’s beautiful and looking at it now I feel like maybe I would have actually been happy with it still. Idk. I don’t have regrets. I can’t really specify why. I just think I could do better and I like both pieces I’m considering better than that one.

Yes, this one is sooooo nice. :love: There are a few around second hand.

btw. I wonder if Cartier has any names to these items rather than "head" and "whole cat" :confused1:
 
Circling back again and wondering if maybe the clash is a safer choice. So basically back to square one. :yucky: I’ll make a choice in a few weeks at my next time back at the boutique.

I like clash, but mostly rings and bracelets. Necklace I would choose between two Panthers. Full cat very femini and elegant, but I would choose head (it’s my wishlist).
And also because of the stronger chain. This is my quirk. It seems to me all the time that with a whole cat, a very thin and sensitive chain. :biggrin: And the head is more versatile for every day. But the whole cat is super, very recognizable Cartier handwriting.

P.S. And I looked again at your photos with panthers and clash. Well, cats definitely win!

Thank you!!! Yes I am definitely leaning towards one of the cats still! I’m still so undecided for which though. I like the sturdy chain on the one with the head but also really like how interesting the chain on the other one is. I think the panthere body necklace may look more special for that reason, although both are unique designs. Ahhhh
 
Not sure if I'm too late, but have you seen the one from Bucheron?


$25,000 at NEiman Marcus or Saks

Lovely;) Though, at that price I could get both panthere necklaces and the clash, and still have $$ leftover.

It's so cute. Really cute.
I adore cats and love everything connected with them. But even with the price, I think Boucheron lacks elegance. Even the head looks much simpler, but at the same time sleeker. Not to mention a full Panthere. Perhaps, with a real examination, my opinion would have changed. But for the same price you can find a decent thing in Cartier. If I had a lot of money, I would only look towards Boucheron after I bought half of Cartier and Van Cleef :blush: But I must admit, this brand is not as widespread as Cartier.
