The legacy of the Cartier house in Paris

The House of Cartier has been a prominent presence in Paris since 1847. Louis-François Cartier founded the company on Rue Montorgueil, before his son, Louis Cartier, expanded into luxury jewelry. The House of Cartier then moved to Rue de la Paix, the epicenter of Parisian jewelry.

Cartier necklaces bear the imprint of this French heritage. The essential lines of the designs reflect Parisian elegance. The House of Cartier has adorned the crowned heads of Europe and the icons of the 20th century. Each Cartier necklace perpetuates this tradition of excellence. The details of its craftsmanship bear witness to this passed-down expertise.

France remains the creative heart of Cartier. The Parisian workshops house the artisans who craft each piece of jewelry. A Cartier diamond necklace embodies French savoir-faire passed down through generations. Every Cartier pendant is born in these exceptional workshops.

Caring for your Cartier necklace

A Cartier diamond necklace requires regular care to preserve its brilliance. Diamonds accumulate cosmetic and sebum residue, which dulls their sparkle. Gentle cleaning with warm, soapy water restores the shine to Cartier diamonds. The brilliant-cut diamond regains its full intensity after cleaning.

Precious metals should be cleaned with a soft, jewelry-specific cloth. White gold, rose gold, and yellow gold retain their luster with proper care. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the metal. A white gold pendant may sometimes require rhodium plating to restore its shine.

The setting deserves an annual check by a qualified jeweler. The prongs can loosen over time, putting the diamonds at risk. Regular inspection ensures the safety of your Cartier necklace. The details of the pavé setting require particular attention.

Store your Cartier necklace separately in its case to prevent scratches. Diamonds, although very hard, can scratch other jewelry. Proper storage prolongs the life of your necklace. A Cartier pendant deserves a dedicated case.
