Overview & History
Founded in Paris in 1847, Cartier is one of the most prestigious names in jewelry and watches, known for the Tank and Santos watches and the Love, Juste un Clou, Panthère, and Trinity jewelry lines. Value depends on the materials (gold, platinum, gemstones), the design and collection, age, and condition - vintage high jewelry and rare watches such as the Crash command exceptional prices. Cartier is heavily counterfeited, so hallmarks and serial numbers must be verified.
Identifying & Marks
Look for the Cartier signature, serial numbers, and metal hallmarks on jewelry and watches. Because counterfeits are common, our specialists verify the marks, construction, and any accompanying documentation.
