Cartier 101
Cartier is the brand for sought-after jewelry and watches. While investing in Cartier items can be a substantial financial commitment, the secondary market can be a more cost-effective avenue to acquire the house’s signature pieces. Tap through to find out how to approach your next purchase.
Decide whether you’d like a statement-making style, like a diamond-encrusted Juste un Clou choker or Panthère de Cartier watch, that will take any look to the next level or a versatile piece with minimalistic appeal, like a timeless Trinity ring or understated Santos timepiece.
Consider the watches and jewelry you already own, and whether you like to mix and match or if you prefer a monochromatic look. If you typically stack jewelry, you may wish to pair slimmer styles with those that are more substantial; if you plan on wearing your piece solo, contemplate whether you’d like it to be delicate or substantial.
For an easy, everyday piece, you may want to consider Cartier’s Love collection, or a water-resistant Ballon de Cartier piece. Should you favor a design that gives you the flexibility to easily take it off to exercise or bathe and slip it back on for evening cocktails, the Juste un Clou bracelet and the sleek Tank watch may be better suited for you.
