So I was looking for a daily necklace and once I saw the C De necklace in the Cartier's website I fell for it. Later I went twice to The Dubai Mall's branch to check their stock. They had so many diamonds to select from. I tried on the 0.55 cart and it was perfect on me.
It was quite hard to take a proper pic of the necklace inside the box so I'm posting many pics from different angles holding it.

Hello beautiful people
What do you think of Cartier's different necklaces? Do you own any? Are you planning or saving to get the special necklace you want? Let's share and discuss here. It's always great to post pics as well.

I think it looks great, but to be honest I don't see the point of buying from Cartier for a necklace like this.
I get that there's the Cartier "C", but other than that it looks like the necklace could have come from any jewelry store.
As I'm sure you know Cartier charges a ton just for the name and they'd charge out the nose for a .55 carat diamond necklace (thousands and thousands more than non-name brand).
For designs like Love and Juste un Clou (and necklaces from those collections) it makes sense of course because the design is Cartier's and they're not going to let anyone use that.
When it comes to an item like this where the trademarked components of the design are much more subtle I don't really see the point of paying thousands more to get it from Cartier unless money is no object at all. You could get a necklace not from Cartier with a significantly larger diamond for the same price.
Take it or leave it but that's just my two cents.
Looking at it sensibly, you're right, of course. But sometimes it just has to be Cartier![]()
Those C-sides make it sorta worth it.![]()
