How can you tell if something is Cartier?

How can you tell if something is Cartier?
To tell if something is Cartier, look for a maker's marking. Every Cartier piece, from jewelry to watches to sunglasses, bears the maker's marking in an inconspicuous area. These markings have changed over the years, so you can often use their style, placement and wording to date and identify your piece. Once you locate the mark, refer to trusted online resources to find out more about what that specific marking indicates. Find a selection of Cartier jewelry and accessories on 1stDibs.

By Cartier

Bold, architectural, and unmistakably Cartier — these vintage oval door knocker earrings in 18-carat yellow and white gold exemplify the house’s mastery of form and proportion. With their sculptural curves and smooth polished finish, they strike a perfect balance between statement and sophistication. Totaling 6.6 grams, they offer luxurious weight and presence while remaining comfortable for all-day wear. The dual-tone gold design reflects Cartier’s refined aesthetic — effortlessly blending warm yellow gold with cool white gold for a timeless contrast that flatters every skin tone. First seen in the Maison’s 1970s and 1980s collections, this bold yet minimalist silhouette has returned to prominence on runways and in fashion editorials, where vintage Cartier pieces are celebrated for their enduring chic. Perfect for day-to-evening elegance, these earrings elevate a tailored blazer, a silk blouse, or a sleek evening dress. They pair beautifully with Cartier’s Trinity or LOVE jewelry, completing a sophisticated ensemble that transitions seamlessly from city days to gala nights. An ideal gift or collectible investment, these earrings embody the craftsmanship and timeless style that have made Cartier a cornerstone of fine jewelry for over a century.
