Q: What is the Cartier d'Amour necklace, small model made of and how big is it?
A: It is crafted in 18‑carat rose gold with a brilliant‑cut diamond. On the small model the motif is approximately 4–4.5 mm across and the central diamond is around 0.09 carats. On this specific piece, our measurements show a motif of about 4 mm and a chain length of approximately 42 cm.

Q: Is the chain length adjustable?
A: The small model typically features an adjustable chain with two fastening positions around 38–41 cm (approx. 15–16 in). This piece is listed at 42 cm; minor adjustability is common, but exact positions vary by production year. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for this item’s precise length.

Q: How does the small model compare to the mini and large models?
A: As a guide, the mini (XS) model is about 3.7–3.8 mm with an approximate 0.04 ct diamond; the small model is about 4.5 mm with ~0.09 ct; and the large model is about 5.5 mm with ~0.18 ct. Visual impact increases with each size while the design remains the same, making the small an elegant everyday option that also layers well.

Q: What distinguishes Cartier d'Amour from Diamants Légers?
A: d'Amour is characterised by a closed (bezel) setting with a fine micro‑pavé border that enhances the centre stone’s sparkle, inspired by a 1938 design. Diamants Légers is a different Cartier line featuring a more minimal setting without the micro‑pavé halo. Both sit on delicate 18‑carat gold chains but have distinct aesthetics.

Q: What is included with this item?
A: Everything included is listed in the product information section. For this piece, the box and certificate are included.

Q: Is it suitable for everyday wear and layering?
A: Yes. The small model’s subtle motif makes it ideal for daily wear and for layering with other fine chains. As with all fine jewellery, remove it before sport and before exposure to water, perfumes, lotions, chlorine or saltwater to preserve the finish and brilliance.

Q: How should I clean and care for it?
A: Clean gently with a very soft brush in lukewarm, mildly soapy water, then rinse and pat dry with a soft cloth. Store it separately, with the chain closed and laid flat to avoid knots. For a deeper clean or polishing, Cartier boutiques offer professional services and annual check‑ups.

Q: Can Cartier adjust the chain length after purchase?
A: Cartier offers jewellery adjustments subject to technical feasibility and local service policies; small length changes on necklaces are often possible. Timeframes and fees vary by location, so any adjustment should be requested directly with Cartier after a physical assessment of the piece.

Q: How is authenticity verified and where are the hallmarks?
A: A Retro Tale authenticates every item through multi‑point inspection of materials, construction, signatures and serials. On Cartier necklaces, you will typically find the Cartier signature, a unique serial, and a 750 gold hallmark near the clasp (often on a small tag) or close to the motif. This piece also comes with a Cartier certificate, as noted in the product information.
