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 (small 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: This small model is crafted in solid 18K yellow gold (Au 750) and set with a brilliant‑cut diamond. Cartier fine jewellery uses real diamonds; it is not gold‑plated. Please review the features and photos, and contact us if you’d like us to confirm any aspect of the composition for this exact piece.
Q: What are the pendant and diamond size details? A: The pendant is delicate and listed at approximately 0.45 cm (height) x 0.45 cm (width). Cartier’s small model typically features a modest brilliant‑cut diamond; if you’d like us to verify the approximate carat weight for this specific necklace, just ask and we’ll confirm against the hallmarks and measurements.
Q: What is the chain length and is it adjustable? A: Our listing notes a perimeter of approximately 44 cm with a lobster clasp. Many Cartier chains include additional jump rings for slight adjustment; if you need the precise wearable range (shortest–longest settings) or drop, message us and we’ll measure it for you.
Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect? A: Cartier necklaces typically bear the Cartier signature, “750” (for 18K gold), a unique serial number, and country of origin—this piece is France. Stamps are usually on/near the clasp tag and sometimes near the pendant. Our close‑up photos show any marks present.
Q: How does it fasten and is it secure for everyday wear? A: It secures with a lobster clasp. The bezel‑style setting around the diamond offers good protection for daily wear, but as with all fine jewellery, avoid impact, remove it for sport or heavy activity, and store it safely when not in use.
Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin? Is there any nickel? A: 18K yellow gold is generally alloyed with gold, silver and copper and is typically nickel‑free. Those with metal sensitivities should still monitor comfort; discontinue wear if irritation occurs and contact us for guidance.
Q: How should I care for 18K gold and the diamond? A: Keep the necklace away from perfumes, lotions, hairspray and cleaning chemicals. After wear, wipe gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. For periodic cleaning, use lukewarm water with a drop of mild soap, a very soft brush, rinse well, and dry thoroughly. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners and harsh dips. Store separately in a pouch or box to prevent scratches.
Q: Can the length be altered or can Cartier service this piece? A: A competent jeweller can often add a small extender or 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: What condition should I expect, what is included, and can I return it? A: It is in Very Good Condition with gentle wear possible unless noted otherwise. This 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.
