Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: Is this Cartier d’Amour Diamond Necklace (mini model) authentic? A: Yes. Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts and sold with our authenticity commitment. Shop with confidence.
Q: What materials is it made from? Is it solid gold and is the diamond real? A: Cartier d’Amour fine jewellery is crafted in solid 18K gold (marked “750”) and set with a natural brilliant‑cut diamond. This piece is the mini model in yellow gold. Please review the close‑up photos and contact us if you’d like us to confirm any specific hallmarks or composition details.
Q: What are the pendant and chain measurements? A: The pendant on the mini model is very delicate—listed here at approximately 0.4 cm x 0.4 cm. The chain length is noted as about 41 cm. If you’d like us to confirm the precise wearable range or drop, just message us and we’ll measure it for you.
Q: How does it fasten and is it secure? A: It secures with a spring ring clasp, a classic and reliable closure for fine necklaces. As with all precious jewellery, remove it for sport, swimming or heavy activity to avoid knocks and undue stress.
Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect on a Cartier necklace? A: Typical markings include the Cartier signature, “750” for 18K gold, a unique serial number, and often a country of origin. Stamps are usually on the clasp tag and/or near the pendant. Our listing photos show any marks present on this piece; contact us if you’d like us to point them out.
Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin? Does 18K gold contain nickel? A: 18K yellow gold is generally alloyed with gold, silver and copper and is typically nickel‑free. Those with sensitivities should still monitor comfort; discontinue wear if irritation occurs and reach out for guidance.
Q: How should I care for the 18K gold and diamond? A: Keep it away from perfumes, lotions and cleaning chemicals. After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. For occasional cleaning, use lukewarm water with a drop of mild soap, a very soft brush, rinse, and dry thoroughly. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners and harsh dips. Store it separately in a pouch/box to prevent scratches.
Q: Can the length be adjusted or the chain modified? A: A competent jeweller can add a small extender or an additional jump ring to fine‑tune the length. Cartier service and polishing may also be available at their discretion. Any modification can affect originality and resale value—feel free to ask us for non‑invasive options.
Q: Is the pendant removable from the chain? A: The d’Amour mini pendant is typically integrated with the chain and is not designed to be removed. If you need confirmation for this exact piece, contact us and we’ll check the construction for you.
Q: What condition should I expect, what is included, and can I return it? A: This necklace is in Very Good Condition with gentle, age‑appropriate wear possible unless stated otherwise. The listing includes a box; only accessories specifically shown or listed are included. Returns are accepted under our standard policy—please see our Returns page for eligibility, timeframes and conditions, and ensure the item is returned in the same condition received.
