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 size and length details for the Cartier d'Amour Small Model? A: The motif is approximately 4.5 mm in diameter and the fine chain is typically adjustable between about 38 and 41 cm. This piece is listed at 41 cm and closes with a lobster clasp.
Q: What is the diamond size on the Small Model? A: The Small Model is commonly set with a single brilliant‑cut diamond of approximately 0.09 carat. As with most fine jewellery, exact carat weight can vary slightly from piece to piece.
Q: What gold is this made from and is it hallmarked? A: Cartier crafts the d'Amour necklace in solid 18k gold. Hallmarks typically include the metal fineness mark “750”, the Cartier signature and a unique serial number, usually found on the clasp or near the pendant.
Q: Is the chain adjustable or can it be lengthened? A: The necklace usually has two wear lengths (around 38 cm and 41 cm). Minor length changes can be achieved by a professional jeweller using an extender; for any Cartier service adjustments, please consult a boutique first.
Q: Can I wear it every day? What about showering, swimming or the gym? A: It is well‑suited to daily wear. For longevity, remove it before showering, swimming or workouts, avoid contact with chlorine, perfume and cosmetics, and store it separately. Clean occasionally with warm soapy water, a very soft brush and a lint‑free cloth.
Q: Is the diamond natural and ethically sourced? A: Cartier states that it selects natural gemstones and is committed to responsible sourcing, including adherence to the Kimberley Process and the industry System of Warranties for diamonds.
Q: How does the Small Model compare to the Mini? A: The Mini model features a smaller motif of about 3.8 mm with an approximately 0.04 ct diamond, while the Small model is about 4.5 mm with an approximately 0.09 ct diamond. Both are typically worn on a fine chain adjustable to around 38–41 cm.
Q: Is the pendant fixed to the chain? A: The pendant is designed as a stationed motif on the chain, intended to sit centred when worn.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information on this page. For this piece, the product information indicates that a box and certificate are included.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this necklace? A: Every item is vetted by our in‑house experts using a multi‑point inspection of materials (solid 18k gold), hallmarks and serial, Cartier signature, construction and finish, and the setting and quality of the diamond. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to provide additional details on request.
