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: What are the key details of this Cartier d'Amour Diamond Necklace (mini)? A: It is crafted in solid 18‑carat rose gold and set with a single brilliant‑cut diamond on a fine link chain. The mini pendant measures approximately 0.4 cm across, the chain measures about 40 cm, and it fastens with a lobster clasp. Made in France and delivered with its original Cartier box.
Q: What is the diamond size in the mini model? A: The mini (XS) model typically features a diamond of around 0.04 carat in a closed (bezel‑style) setting, with a motif diameter of roughly 3.8–4.0 mm. Exact weights can vary minutely from piece to piece; please contact us if you would like precise measurements for this item.
Q: Is the chain length adjustable? A: Many Cartier d’Amour mini necklaces have an adjustable chain with two fastening rings (about 38–41 cm). This specific piece measures approximately 40 cm as listed. If you need extra length, a discreet extender can be added by a trusted jeweller; for permanent adjustments, consult a Cartier boutique.
Q: How does the mini size look when worn? Is it too dainty? A: The mini model gives a subtle, everyday sparkle that sits neatly at the collarbone on most necklines. It’s ideal for minimal styling or for layering with longer chains. If you prefer more presence from a single pendant, you might consider the small or large models in the same line.
Q: Can I wear it every day, in the shower or to sleep? A: It’s well suited to daily wear, but for longevity we recommend removing it before showering, swimming, working out or sleeping. Water, cosmetics and friction can dull the finish over time, and delicate chains are best kept free from snags.
Q: Is the rose gold solid or plated? A: Cartier fine jewellery is made from solid 18‑carat gold (marked 750). The rose gold colour is achieved through its alloy composition; it is not plating.
Q: What clasp does it have and is it secure? A: This necklace uses a lobster clasp, which is considered secure for fine chains. As with all clasps, check it closes cleanly and have it inspected periodically if you plan to wear the piece frequently.
Q: What comes with this item? A: This piece comes with its original Cartier box. Any other accessories (such as a certificate or receipt) would be listed under Accessories; if an item isn’t listed there, it is not included.
Q: How should I clean and care for it? A: Clean occasionally with lukewarm water, a drop of mild soap and a very soft brush, then pat dry with a lint‑free cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals, perfumes and ultrasonic cleaners. Store it flat in its box when not in use and consider an annual professional clean and check for peace of mind.
Q: How do you authenticate this necklace? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously authenticated by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of metal composition, hallmarks, stamping, serials and craftsmanship details. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share additional photos or details on request.
