Q: What are the key specifications of the Cartier d'Amour Diamond Necklace, mini model? A: The mini model features a brilliant-cut diamond of approximately 0.04 carat set in 18k gold, with a pendant diameter of about 3.79 mm. The chain is adjustable to approximately 38–41 cm and closes with a lobster clasp. Please refer to the product information for the exact gold colour of this specific piece.
Q: How does the mini model compare to the small model? A: The mini is daintier, with an approx. 0.04 ct diamond and a pendant diameter around 3.8 mm. The small model typically features an approx. 0.09 ct diamond with a pendant diameter around 4.5 mm. Both usually come on an adjustable 38–41 cm chain.
Q: Is the chain length adjustable or alterable? A: Yes. The necklace has two length positions (about 38 cm and 41 cm). For further adjustments or repairs, Cartier boutiques can advise on available services; independent jewellers may also offer extension options.
Q: Is the d'Amour mini suitable for everyday wear and layering? A: Yes. Owners often choose the mini for its subtle sparkle and wear-it-everyday proportions. It layers well with longer chains; staggering lengths helps reduce tangling.
Q: Which gold colours does the d'Amour mini come in? A: Cartier typically offers the mini model in yellow, rose and white gold. The gold colour of this particular piece is listed in the product information.
Q: How should I care for this 18k gold and diamond necklace? A: Remove it before showering, swimming or exercising; avoid contact with perfumes, lotions and cleaning agents; wipe with a soft cloth after wear. For occasional deeper cleaning, soak briefly in lukewarm water with mild soap and gently brush with a very soft toothbrush, then rinse and dry. Cartier boutiques can provide professional cleaning and polishing.
Q: What markings should I expect on an authentic Cartier necklace? A: Authentic Cartier jewellery typically bears the Cartier signature, a metal fineness hallmark (e.g., 750 for 18k gold) and a unique serial number, usually near the clasp (on the tag or the clasp itself). Marking style and placement can vary by era and model.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information section. For this piece, the original Cartier box is included.
Q: What is the condition of this necklace? A: Very Good pre-owned condition with a light trace of use; metal surfaces and clasp may show fine hairline scratches consistent with gentle wear. Please review the photos and condition notes for full details.
Q: Is this design still part of Cartier’s current collection? A: Yes. The d’Amour pendant remains in Cartier’s collection in multiple sizes and gold colours, though availability can vary by region and over time.
