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 size are the Cartier d'Amour Diamond Earrings, small model? A: This pre-owned pair measures approximately 4 mm across the front motif and about 2 mm deep, so they sit neatly and close to the earlobe. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact details.
Q: What is the carat weight for the small model? A: Cartier lists approximate carat weights that can vary slightly by production year and region. The small model is generally quoted with a higher total carat weight than the mini/XS model, but exact figures can differ. We have not recorded a laboratory carat weight for this pair; contact us if you would like us to provide an exact measurement for this item.
Q: Do these come as a pair and what is included? A: Yes, they are sold as a pair of studs. Everything included is listed in the product information on this page; for this item, the original box and certificate are included.
Q: What metal and backing do they use? A: They are crafted in 18-carat yellow gold and fitted with classic butterfly push-back fastenings for pierced ears.
Q: Are they comfortable for everyday wear and suitable for sensitive ears? A: The small, low-profile design makes them ideal for daily wear. 18-carat gold is generally well tolerated, though anyone with known metal sensitivities should confirm suitability for their skin.
Q: Can I sleep, shower, or swim in them? A: For longevity and security, we recommend removing them before sleeping, showering, exercising, or swimming. Soaps, lotions, and repeated pressure can loosen backings over time and dull the setting.
Q: How does the small model compare to the mini/XS model? A: The small model has a slightly larger diameter (around 4–4.5 mm depending on production) and typically a higher total carat weight. The mini/XS model is closer to about 3.7–3.8 mm with a lighter total carat weight. Exact specifications may vary by year and market.
Q: What hallmarks should I expect to see on authentic Cartier earrings? A: Authentic Cartier jewellery typically bears the Cartier signature, a unique serial number, and the 750 hallmark indicating 18-carat gold. Placement and engraving style can vary by era and model.
Q: How do you authenticate this piece? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully vetted by our in-house experts using multi-point checks of materials, craftsmanship, stamps, and serial numbers. We stand behind the authenticity of every piece we sell and can provide further details upon request.
Q: Can the posts be changed to screw backs or adjusted? A: Post length or backing style changes may be possible through Cartier servicing, subject to assessment and fees. We do not modify pieces prior to sale; you are welcome to consult Cartier after purchase if you prefer a different backing.
Q: How should I clean and store these earrings? A: Clean occasionally with lukewarm water and a drop of mild soap, gently brush with a soft brush, rinse, and pat dry. Store each earring separately in a soft pouch or box, and have settings checked periodically by a professional jeweller.
