Q: Is this Cartier d'Amour 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? Is it solid gold? A: This necklace is from the Cartier d'Amour collection (formerly known as Diamants Légers) and is crafted from 18k yellow gold. It features a single brilliant‑cut diamond in a closed setting. It is solid 18k gold, not plated. Please review the close‑up photos for confirmation of the metal finish.
Q: Which model is this and how big is the diamond? A: This is the "mini model" (often referred to as the XS size). It typically features a diamond of approximately 0.04 carats with a setting diameter of about 3.8 to 4 mm. It is a very delicate, dainty piece designed to sit lightly on the skin.
Q: What is the length of the chain? Is it adjustable? A: The chain is adjustable and generally measures between 38 cm and 41 cm. It features a jump ring that allows you to wear it at a shorter length for a tighter fit near the collarbone. Please contact us if you need the exact drop measurement for this specific piece.
Q: How does it fasten? A: It fastens with a secure lobster clasp. One of the signature features of this collection is the small charm at the end of the extension chain, which often features the Cartier double C logo.
Q: What hallmarks should I expect? A: You should expect to find the Cartier signature, a serial number, and the "750" stamp (indicating 18k gold) engraved on the clasp or the small logo tag at the end of the chain. Our listing photos show the specific hallmarks present on this item.
Q: Is it suitable for everyday wear? Can I shower in it? A: While 18k gold and diamonds are durable, we recommend removing fine jewellery before showering, sleeping, or swimming to maintain its lustre and prevent soap buildup behind the stone. The chain is fine and delicate, so care should be taken to avoid snagging.
Q: What condition should I expect 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 possible. This listing includes the original box. Returns are accepted under our standard policy—please see our Returns page for eligibility and conditions.
