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 Panthère de Cartier Necklace 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? A: This exquisite necklace is crafted from 18K yellow gold. The Panthère pendant is set with tsavorite garnets (typically used for the eyes) and onyx (often used for the nose or spot detailing), creating the iconic feline visage of the Maison.
Q: What are the measurements and how does it fit? A: The necklace has a listed perimeter of 40 cm, which is a shorter, choker‑style length that typically sits at the collarbone. The pendant measurements are listed as approximately 2 cm (height) x 0.7 cm (width) x 0.5 cm (depth). Please measure your neck to ensure this length suits your preference.
Q: How does the necklace fasten? A: It secures with a lobster clasp closure. This type of fastener is reliable and secure for everyday wear. Please refer to the close‑up photos to view the specific clasp style on this piece.
Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect? A: Authentic Cartier fine jewellery typically bears the Cartier signature, a metal fineness mark (such as “750” or “18K” for gold), and a unique serial number. As this piece is noted as French in origin, you may also find French assay marks (such as the eagle head). Our listing photos show the stamps present on this specific item.
Q: How should I care for the gold and gemstones? A: 18K gold is precious and relatively soft; avoid abrasive surfaces. To protect the onyx and tsavorites, do not use ultrasonic cleaners or harsh chemicals. Clean gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth or a specialised jewellery cloth. Store it individually in a soft pouch to prevent scratches from other jewellery.
Q: Can the necklace be resized? A: A professional jeweller can often add an extension chain or shorten the links if needed. We do not offer in‑house resizing, but we can recommend reputable specialists. Please note that permanent alterations may affect the item’s originality and resale value.
Q: What is the condition and what is included? A: This necklace is in Very Good Condition, meaning it has been well‑cared for with only light signs of wear. It comes with no accessories (such as original box or papers). Returns are accepted under our standard policy—please see our Returns page for eligibility and conditions.
