#JOTW Post your Cartier jewels/rings/watches!

[DorotheaBrooke]

I'm on vacation in Albania now and had a stopover at Frankfurt airport. I tried on some pieces at the Cartier in duty free and fell in love with the rose gold Clash ring and double bracelet. My style is very soft, so I would not have thought to try these pieces, but they are elegant and breathtaking in person. Not so spiky as I would have thought! I cannot commit to such a big purchase as the bracelet right now, but I'm tempted to buy the ring on my way home.




Here is the ring with the single bracelet.

My exact thoughts!!!
From the pictures on the net I was sure Clash wasn't my style and I couldn't get it's success...on January I went to Cartier and I fell in love with the ring!!!

Hi DorotheaBrooke!
First of all how wonderful you are on vacation in Albania! We were there once as a port on a cruise and I thought it was a fascinating and beautiful country.
Also.. the Clash looks AMAZING on you! Love the ring and especially the bracelet. It drapes so softly on your wrist. Thanks for posting all that finery.. we all enjoyed the eye candy.

Yes, seeing the pieces in person makes all the difference. The way the tiny pieces move on their own and the light bounces off is really special!

I agree, Albania is fascinating and beautiful! This is my first time here, and I would definitely return in the future.

The soft bracelet is my absolute favorite. I tried on the bangle but far prefer the draping effect of the soft one, which is also so much more comfortable. I would love to own it one day.

I stopped into Cartier to look at the Clash rings- and walked out with their newly released JUC small WG diamond bracelet!
It always makes me wonder why so many pieces from VCA/Cartier/Tiffany are made YG/RG but not WG.

BEAUTIFUL!!! Love the diamond embellishment and the way it stacks with your VCA bracelet. Congrats and enjoy!!

Added a rose gold Ecrou this Christmas, as well as the small Trinity chain bracelet. Love them both! The Ecrou doesn’t get much publicity, but it is an amazing bracelet. The small Trinity is super light and comfortable and I have not removed it since Christmas.

Hi @Tonks
Do you still find yourself wearing the Trinity chain bracelet?
Do you wear it as part of a stack or on its own?
Thanks!

Hey, @Paisley2628 !
I’ve actually got it on now and have had it on for the past week or so. I absolutely still wear it. It is fiddly to take on and off (though I can do it by myself so not terrible) so when I have it on I treat it like a permanent bracelet and wear it 24/7.

I usually stack it. It peeks out and around bangles and I really like that!

I got really attached to this combo this week and wore it a lot.

Thanks to the brilliant suggestion of @mustangchi , I added an extra link to my watch. I didn’t even entertain asking Cartier for help with a second hand piece, and figured they wouldn’t have an extra link for an older watch that wasn’t a popular model. Plus, after having negative experiences purchasing new pieces from VCA, I figured that Cartier would be more of the same. But they couldn’t have been nicer. They ordered me a link, serviced the watch and sent it back. Plus I got to see the 5th floor of the NYC flagship store, which is unbelievably gorgeous. So thank you, @mustangchi! You saved the day.

Glad to be of help! I am a watch nut so just tend to read about stories of watches and people having them repaired and serviced.

You've got a gorgeous vintage find there! Enjoy it so much!!

Beautiful watch! Cartier is extremely nice about ordering links for vintage watches. It takes them some time to get them sometimes (few months) but they will do it even if the watch is out of production etc. but it’s important to go to a biggish Cartier store - like how you went to the flagship - as some smaller stores may not be aware that it’s possible to order links for watches not currently in production.
