Let's discuss Cartier necklaces!

[Storm Spirit]

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.

I love Cartier, but I get your point; there are some designs that I won't buy and prefer to admire from a distance because you can get much better value elsewhere. Then again, when it comes to luxury brands, value goes out of the window

I would still prefer the Cartier. Hehe!

Omg that's exactly the one I've been searching for!! Perfect size of the diamond for daily wear! Do you mind me asking how much is it ? I'm planning on getting one of that in the near future.

You should get it. It's fabulous! I got so many compliments. I paid around $ 7,515, I was aiming to get the 0.60 carat E-VVS1 which costs around $ 11,517 but I think the one I got is perfect for me.

I love the Love line. This necklace looks beautiful in all metals.

Great thread!))
Congratulations with your beauty!! This Cartier necklace is number one for me! Absolutely perfect for every day!
Do you mind sharing picture worn?

Thank you! I'm glad that I made the right decision. I'm just afraid that the RG will fade with time since I wear it daily. I will post a mod pic soon

Wish to see a modeling picture ! I'm debating between 0.3 or 0.5 carat as my boyfriend thinks 0.3 carat is too big n too shiny to be a everyday necklace. I was planning on wearing my 1 carat diamond necklace as a everyday necklace but he thought it was too big n I went to Cartier tried on 0.3 and 0.5 carat he thinks 0.3 is more elegance and suitable for different outfits. I just cannot decide which one is better.[emoji33]

Oops I mean my boyfriend thinks 0.5 is too big for daily wear as well as 1 carat. Typo~

Love your new necklace Dode. I wear a Cartier Trinity everyday that hubby got me while on trip to San Francisco for our anniversary.

Thank you. The Trinity is such a beautiful and special necklace.

You are on a Cartier roll! This is gorgeous and must compliment your bracelet so beautifully. I love the c detail. So unique.


I want the round love rose gold necklace.

Thank you . I think the C detail isn't really noticeable in my necklace and the bracelet but I still love it. Yesterday I noticed Kylie Jenner has the same C bracelet. I thought she's just into stacking Love bracelets ! The round love necklace is quite popular here in my country. I like the one with full diamonds.

Thanks, can't wait to see it! It's amazing how your .55 looks big on the pics! Would love to see it worn, it's exactly the size I was considering. I tried 0.3 and it was lost on me, 0.5 looked perfect.
I've heard a lot about RG fading issue, but I think you shouldn't really worry, I have a ss/rg Ballon Blue watch which is 3 years old and I wear it a lot, RG parts didn't fade even a bit and still gorgeous)

That is pretty fair price to be honest. I would have thought it was more, definitely worth it for Cartier.

I have this one and I like it a lot. I get compliments on it often. It's a simple pretty piece.

You tried 0.3 before? I am torn between 0.3 and 0.5 right now. My bf thinks 0.3 is the right one for me since I got lots shining on my wrist and fingers ( I got 4 diamonds RG love and diamond RG JUC on my left wrist plus a RG pace diamond love ring on my left middle finger with a RG pinky ring. Right hand I got two DLDC bracelets and usually wear a RG JUC ring or RG CDC ring for daily wear). He thinks it would be too over the top if i had 0.5 diamond necklace on me. But I was just not too sure abt the size of 0.3. Wouldn't it be too small ?

IMO Cartier classic pieces are good investment. I only buy branded classic pieces in case I decided to sell them later. Unbranded jewelry in my country don't pay well esp if they're diamonds unless I decided to sell them thro international sites like Ebay which I don't like or trust. After all It's not my fault that I have an expensive taste .

Sorry for not posting this earlier, here's a pic for you. I'm not good at neck selfies .

The 0.55 looks just right on me. As I said earlier I visited the Cartier btq twice to check their stock. The SA said the bigger sizes (0.60 and 0.70 carat) are sold out.

I shower daily that's why I'm afraid that the shower jell or even the face creams I apply would affect the rose gold.

IKR? I don't know much about Cartier diamonds or diamonds in general but according to the SA, Cartier only choose 10% of the worlds best diamonds!

It looks amazing. Oh another to add to my wishlist. It never ends.
