Cartier necklace which one?

[Libertydestiny]

Does anyone have the d’amour ? I’m looking at getting it first Cartier piece but I can’t decide on xs or s for size so looking for advice , thinking of the yellow gold for colour thank you

I did have a look at the website. And there are some reasonably priced pieces I thought. Their wedding bands are very nice. And bracelets.

you would ask them for their best price and not pay the amount on the website. Most second hand jewellers price in a negotiation amount. I haven’t looked that hard but this is an example of what you can find but still have Cartier.

What a scathing, mean-minded response. I can just imagine those pursed lips. If the OP would like some Cartier let her be. Calling it beer money is incredibly catty.

Agree with the above. Carrier will certainly be worth more than scrap pricing, always has been.

Do Cartier use ethical diamonds? I know Tiffany don't.

Exactly what I was going to say - it is not the sand at all

If you want Hot Diamonds ,there's lots of Vinted,I've bought a couple of necklaces.

OP will never get her money back. not sure if it’s the same style but looks similar.

it’s not scrap is it but it’s half the price?

so approx 50% of the value is being used for branding, marketing, hot air.

if the OP went direct to a goldsmith for the same thing, the resale value may well be higher.

as someone who’s worked very hard for my cash, I don’t want to be ripped off and luxury pieces should be an investment not a loss making venture.

I do find the replies on this thread very depressing - not everything is about making money back. Who would really be interested in buying a second hand bespoke piece over a Cartier, especially something as simple as the OP wants? Who can bothered with the faff of finding jewellers and stones blah blah to essentially get a copy of something else? Buy the Cartier and enjoy it

Just came across the necklace you're looking at in the small size for £990 in one of the luxury Facebook groups I'm in. If you're set on Cartier, definitely consider second hand x

Thank you I think £990 is a bit too high if I’m going to look at second hand I wouldn’t pay over £900 but I’ll definitely keep an eye out and see if a perfect second hand one comes up

@Libertydestiny That's fair enough! RRP for the small in yellow gold is £1400ish so I thought it was a good deal for something that had only been tried on x

Ok the one I’m looking at is £1290 so I’ll keep looking and if I find it second hand I would consider thank you

Remember to negotiate the price of second hand. Luckily gold and diamonds is resilient - not like buying second hand clothes at vast expense and finding a stain but always offer 15% less and try to pay direct rather than through a platform that would take a fee from the vendor’s profit. They will likely compromise at a 10% discount.
