Authenticating an Estate Cartier diamond ring....

[canuk-gal]

HI folks:

I know a few people here have bought T & C on the secondary market and had the rings (successfully) authenticated. Anyone tried to do this with Cartier; if so, what was your experience?? The closest store to me would be in Vancouver and I likely would have to send it there....I suppose I could email them.....

Thanks.

cheers--Sharon

I have no clue, but I'd love to see a pic.

Didn't know they had a Cartier in Vancouver (I'm in Victoria) I'll have to hop over and pay them a visit sometime. I would phone the store first and see what they say.

Yes, any pics to see please.

HI:

There is indeed a store in Vancouver....

And yes, i'd love to share pics except for the whole someone else might snap it up phenomena that happens a lot here....

I tried on a .30 point stone today and I think with my size of hand I do want a slightly bigger stone to wear to work. I am still thinking I want D IF and now branded to boot; you'd be surprised how few D IF around at Tiffany's and Cartier in the size I am interested. I am leaning toward Cartier....

cheers--Sharon

I know what you mean about posting pics for fear that it is bought out from under you. Such a shame we can't post pics freely. No, I'm not surprised you are unable to find a D IF in a smaller size (or larger for that matter) in the stores you mention. I would think there's not a huge market for them and that's why unfortunately.

Sharon,
Did you ever figure this out? I am interested in knowing, the other options I was recommended was posting on another forum (usually discusses purses)

http://forum.purseblog.com/the-jewelry-box/ you can try posting there in the authentication thread. i did for tiffany and cartier on many occasions. good luck!

Are Cartier diamonds GIA certified? Would you be able to check the laser inscription of the diamond to match the certificate?

-I'm not sure about this... never bought a T/C or Cartier ring before
