Looking to sell Cartier jewelry without box and papers? The first step in the selling process is always to gather any information and documentation that you have about your jewelry. This is helpful in ensuring that the jewelry you have is authentic and it helps to identify what model it is and which materials it is made from. Cartier released the first jewelry watch in a bracelet style for women in 1888. Since that time, Cartier watches have remained a popular luxury item for both men and women. There are a few ways to identify the model of a Cartier watch.

If anyone has questions, I'll put myself out to try and answer them. For the last 6 or 8 months I've been doing the repair work for Cartier's CPCP line, which until the last several years was their high end line with both in-house and manufacture movements from the likes of Piaget and JLC to name the more common ones. Now they have their HH line developing tourbillons, a astrotourbillons, perpetual calendars, mystery dials, etc.

And it's quite worth mentioning many of these models actually bear the Geneve Seal, which very few manufacturers can boast.Now, obviously their more 'entry level' offerings aren't as fancy, many of them still using decorated or modified ETA movements, but there is a common standard of exceptionally high finishing on the cases and bracelets, they are after all one of the largest fine jewelry companies around. Cartier's craftsmanship on their jewelry is top notch. There will only be a handful of independent jewelers in the world who can match it.

Settings for stones are done phenomenally, everything is evenly spaced, perfectly level (if you take a section of stones set on a flat surface, the tables will all reflect light at the same angles, which is exceptionally hard to do). They only use high quality stones, I've never seen one with visible inclusions, and the finishing is top notch as well.Now that said, because they are Cartier, there is additional markup because the products bear that name. This is true of all high jewelry names, though, not at all unique to Cartier. Whether it's worth it is a matter of whether whomever is buying can afford it. Going to high end independent jewelers you can probably get very close to the same designs with not quite as perfect craftsmanship for less money, but you'd have to put in the leg work to find a reliable and skilled jeweler.For comparison with another name most people will know, and if I were to be honest, Cartier sits at a higher level than Tiffany. Tiffany does significant markup on their entry level and basic products in addition to large and potentially intrusive branding, I find the huge T&Co markings they do on many of their products distracting and I think they'd look better with them smaller and not so visible, but then girls wouldn't be able to show off the obviously Tiffany made jewelry if it didn't say Tiffany in big letters right on the piece. Cartier, on the other hand, builds things right, charges what I think is a fair price in most instances, and doesn't go overboard with branding.

Perhaps Harry Winston or Van Cleef sit at a higher level than Cartier, but again, more money for higher end (but still near perfection in craftsmanship). Any of these names will blow department store jewelry out of the water though.

You need some knowledge of how it's all made and built to see sometimes, but once you learn to see the well made from the not so well made you can see why the higher end brands have that reputation and price point. Just piping up to say: I had the pleasure of having a close look at, and trying on the at a boutique recently.Now, I'm absolutely not a general fan of Cartier. I simply do not like their general style, and I tended to think of them as a jewelry brand first, and watchmakers second. (I still maintain that this was true for many years - putting quartz movements in expensive cases just doesn't cut it, IMO).That said I found the Cartier Calibre Diver to be one of the most exciting, interesting watches I've seen in a long time. The case design is exquisite. It is satinised on all the surfaces, apart from the meeting edges which are chamfered and polished.

I work in the casing department for a large swiss brand, and I can safely say that this is a pretty difficult polishing job. And it just looks gorgeous, and unique - I'm not aware of other brands offering a similar finish. The case is an elegant size, I'm not sure of the actual measurement, but I think in the 39-41mm range, and I personally love that Cartier were prepared to buck the silly larger = better trends (which, by the way, normally just means that the movement has a redundantly large casing ring between the case and the movement). The depth of the case is small, I think 10-11ish mm - great, you won't be bashing it on things!The bezel feel was good, not the snappiest, but not 'mushy' like some, and you can ratchet each click, without accidentally pushing it 2 or 3 clicks. The shape of it is similar to the lauded Blacnpain Fifty Fathoms, and I like it a lot.

I'm not sure how resilient the ink in the bezel numerals will be however - this is always the case though, not something unique to Cartier.I'm not a fan of completely printed dials, I feel that you should expect applied batons or numerals on an expensive watch, but I didn't mind at all. The printing was perfect, no flaws that I could see. The hand design is elegant, but reasonably clear. I like the sub seconds, it breaks up the dial and balances the big XII.It's a shame that it only comes on a rubber strap, but the pin-buckle was extremely well made, and again satinised.I'm not commenting on the movement, because I have no idea how the Cartier Calibre is coming along - although I know it had some 'teething problems' (all new movements do, I think).I was genuinely tempted into putting the watch on interest free credit, even though I can get trade price with the company I work for. Really an incredibly nice piece.Edit: not sure I like the crown though. Current Line-Up!.
