* 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: Are these Cartier d'Amour Earrings 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 are they made from? A: These earrings are crafted from 18k rose gold and set with brilliant‑cut diamonds. The Cartier d'Amour collection (formerly known as Diamants Légers) is celebrated for its delicate, bezel‑set design that enhances the stone's sparkle while keeping a low profile.
Q: What is the size and carat weight of the Medium Model? A: The Medium model typically features a motif diameter of approximately 5 mm (listed here as roughly 0.6 cm). The total diamond weight for this size is generally around 0.26 carats (approx. 0.13 ct per ear), though slight variations can occur depending on the specific production year of the vintage piece. They offer a refined yet noticeable presence compared to the XS or Small models.
Q: How do they fasten? Are the backs secure? A: Cartier d'Amour earrings typically feature the secure "Alpa" or "La Poussette" backing system. This mechanism requires you to squeeze the side tabs to release or slide the back on, providing extra security against loss compared to standard butterfly backs. Please refer to the close‑up photos to confirm the specific closure on this pair.
Q: Can I wear them 24/7 or sleep in them? A: Many wearers find the Cartier d'Amour studs exceptionally comfortable for sleeping and daily wear due to the smooth, snag‑free bezel setting. However, comfort is subjective, and we recommend removing fine jewellery before bed to protect both the piece and your piercing.
Q: What hallmarks should I look for? A: You should expect to find the Cartier signature, the metal purity mark "750" (indicating 18k gold), and a unique serial number engraved on the post or the back of the motif. Our listing images display the specific hallmarks present on this pair.
Q: How should I care for the diamonds and rose gold? A: Diamonds attract natural oils and soap residue, which can dull their sparkle. Clean them gently using a soft brush (like a baby toothbrush) and mild soapy water, ensuring you reach the back of the setting. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft microfibre cloth. Store them in their box to prevent scratching the gold.
Q: What condition are they in and what is included? A: These earrings are in Very Good Condition, showing minimal signs of wear consistent with careful use. They come complete with their original box and outer box. Returns are accepted under our standard policy—please ensure the item is returned in the same condition received.
