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 specifications of the Cartier d'Amour bracelet, mini model? A: It is crafted in 18k white gold and set with one brilliant-cut diamond. In the mini model the diamond is typically around 0.04 ct, with a motif diameter of about 3.8 mm. As this is a vintage piece, minor variations can occur depending on the production batch and era.
Q: What wrist size does it fit, and is the length adjustable? A: This bracelet fits an 18.5 cm wrist or smaller. The chain has two fastening rings, allowing an adjustable wear length of approximately 16.5 cm or 18.5 cm for comfort and stacking flexibility.
Q: How does it fasten, and is the clasp secure for daily wear? A: It features a lobster claw clasp, designed for a secure closure while remaining discreet and comfortable for everyday use.
Q: What is the difference between the mini and small models in the d'Amour line? A: The mini model is the most delicate, typically set with a diamond of about 0.04 ct and a motif around 3.8 mm. The small model is larger, commonly around 0.09 ct with a motif close to 4.5 mm, offering a slightly bolder look while keeping the same design language.
Q: Can I wear this bracelet every day, including in the shower or at the gym? A: Cartier advises removing jewellery before contact with water, cosmetics, chlorine or salt water, and before sport. Daily wear is fine, but avoid those exposures to preserve the shine of the gold and diamond.
Q: Will white gold need maintenance over time? A: White gold pieces often have a rhodium finish to enhance brightness. With wear, this finish can dull and may benefit from occasional professional polishing or rhodium re-finishing. Cartier boutiques offer cleaning and maintenance services; frequency depends on personal wear.
Q: Can Cartier adjust the length or service this bracelet? A: Cartier offers care, repair and adjustment services subject to model feasibility. For chain bracelets, boutiques can advise on options such as adding a jump ring or performing a professional polish when appropriate.
Q: What is included with this item? A: According to the product information, this piece comes with a box and certificate. Everything included is listed in the product information; if a specific item is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: How do you authenticate this bracelet? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously authenticated by our in-house experts using multi-point checks of metal, hallmarks, serials, craftsmanship and period-correct details. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide further details on request.
Q: How should I measure my wrist to ensure a good fit? A: Wrap a soft tape just below the wrist bone where the bracelet sits, noting a snug measurement. For this model, it will wear comfortably at either the 16.5 cm or 18.5 cm setting; if your wrist is near the upper limit, choose the longer ring and wear with slight ease.
