Is Cartier jewelry worth buying?
If you’ve had your eyes on Cartier bracelets, you may wonder if the hefty price tag is worth it. While undeniably elegant and iconic, here are a few things you should know before making your purchase.
Does Cartier jewelry hold its value?
The good news is that Cartier jewelry holds its value, especially bracelets. Many Cartier prices have increased in value over time. So long as a piece is in good condition, you may find that Cartier pieces will retain– and even exceed their original value.
Is Cartier real gold?
Another plus side is that Cartier uses authentic gold and other fine metals in their bracelets and necklaces. One way to spot a fake Cartier is if it tarnishes. Solid 18K gold, used for Cartier bracelets, will not tarnish.
Do Cartier love bracelets that scratch easily?
While it is true that some Cartier bracelets can collect scratches over the years, this is not a reflection of their quality. Cartier bracelets are often made with higher carat gold. While this more pure form of solid offers many benefits– such as polish and shine and durability– it is also a little softer than some other metals.
How do I select and wear a Cartier bracelet?
Both selecting and wearing a Cartier bracelet takes some thought. First, you need to be realistic about your budget. And once you buy a bracelet, you need to make sure that you’re treating it properly so it retains its value.
How much is a Cartier bracelet?
There’s no denying that Cartier is expensive. The high quality of their materials, craftsmanship and iconic design lead to heftier price points. The cheapest bracelets from Cartier typically cost around $4500. If you want diamonds with a bracelet, expect to pay a minimum of $5300. Especially rare diamonds, like a pink diamond, can cost above $50K for a bracelet.
Which Cartier bracelet is most popular?
You should never feel that you need to buy the most popular or expensive bracelet, but some are indeed more popular than others. The Love Collection hosts the most popular Cartier bracelets, and perhaps the most iconic.
How do you take care of a Cartier Love Bracelet?
Cartier offers free cleaning, and I recommend you get your Cartier bracelet professionally cleaned once a year. They also offer other services, such as professional polishing. However, a professional polish can cost around $80.
There are also ways to clean and care for your Cartier bracelet on your own. Use a small, soft brush with lukewarm water and wipe dry with a soft cloth, carefully not to use anything that could scratch your bracelet. If you’re not wearing it, store it in a cool place, in its case where it won’t scratch against other jewelry.
Cartier Bracelets: My Picks
Cartier offers nine collections under their fine jewelry options. Each collection has a distinct style for its earrings— but all have that artistic touch and timeless feel that’s made Cartier so well known. From the iconic LOVE bracelets to the clean industrial feel to Ecrou bracelets, you’ll find a bracelet that suits your style.
I’ll give you my picks under $10K, then one luxury option for each collection. All of my picks will be ordered from most affordable to most expensive.

Combining elements of the Dada art movement and 70s styles, the collection was re-introduced in 2012. Nail-inspired designs, pure lines, and a minimalist appeal do well to highlight the high-quality polish of solid gold. Prices start at $3,200 through $338,000.

Luxury Option: Rose Gold and Amazonite Clash de Cartier Bracelet- N6718417
This $56,000 Cartier Bracelet is certainly expensive– but it’s also undeniably the most eye-catching bracelet in this collection. The XL model features gorgeous Amazonite round gemstones on a studded 18K rose gold band. Buy Here.
Trinity Bracelet Collection
The Trinity Collection is quite small, with a mere 7 style options. It also has a narrower price range, with bracelets starting at $580 and going up to $28,000– making for an average price of around $4,000. First created in 1924, this collection evokes the trinity of gold bands, and, along with that, love, friendship, and fidelity.

White, Pink and Yellow Gold Trinity Bracelet- Small/ Medium Models- B6050217,

Beautiful 18K solid gold is intertwined for a polished band. These bracelets truly exhibit why the Trinity collection remains a classic. Buy Small Here or Medium Here.
Love. Friendship. Fidelity. Conceived by Louis Cartier in 1924, the Trinity collection has become a symbol of life's most paramount relationships. 
Panthere de Cartier Bracelet Collection
This daring collection has been reinvented many times since its introduction back in 1914. Iconic feline designs are featured on open-ended bracelets. Sculptures and abstract silhouettes are embodied with visionary designs.
Gemstones and diamonds add opulence to this collection as well. Three-dimensional designs and classic culture make this collection more than just bracelets but truly works of art. Prices start at $7,600 and go up to $310,000– making this one of the most expensive Cartier bracelet collections. As such, I’ll be slightly raising my $10K limit for regular picks.
Onyx and Tsavorite Bracelet- B6067217
If you want the look of this collection but not the price tag, consider the entry-level $7,600 bracelet, available in 18K yellow or rose gold. Gemstones add liveliness to the carefully sculpted panther. It’s a classic, and maybe the best value in the collection. Buy Yellow Gold Here or Rose Gold Here.
Diamond and Tsavorite Garnet Bracelet- B6046516

Garnet and Onyx Open Band Bracelet
An elegant entry in this collection, this Cartier bracelet retails for $10,900 and is available in 18k yellow or rose gold. Beautifully polished and sophisticated, if you have the budget, this bracelet is a slightly more refined look– and may hold up better– than the chain bracelet options. Buy Yellow Gold Here or Rose Gold Here.
Luxury Pick: 2.55 Carat Diamond Bracelet with Emeralds and Onyx- N6715417
Priced at $53K, this stunning panther-themed bracelet wows with 225 brilliant-cut diamonds, as well as other precious gemstones. An intricate design and utter artistry make this bracelet one of the most unique of all that Cartier offers. Buy Yellow Gold Here or Rose Gold Here.
Ecrou de Cartier Bracelet Collection
Looking for a collection that has a distinct, industrial feel? The Ecrou de Cartier collection may be for you. Meant to push against the expected, sleek and industrial styles are modern and versatile. Craftsmanship details include moveable bolds and ridge bands.
Something interesting about this collection is that it’s relatively uniform in design. Aside from a $19K option with diamonds, both price and style are fairly alike from bracelet to bracelet. Because of this, and the small size of the collection, I recommend simply looking at the subtle differences.
Prices range from $6,800 to $7,350– except for the diamond bracelet. Shop Here.
The Écrou de Cartier challenges the status quo of design through its unique play on the industrial. Movable bolts are perched on a circular ridged band, creating unique pieces that defy conventions. 
Cactus de Cartier Bracelet Collection (Luxury)
This luxurious collection is certainly not the first bracelet collection from Cartier I’d recommend to the average buyer. However, even just for a look at the artistry, I thought it deserved a mention.
The Cactus de Cartier collection is inspired by both sculptures and, as you probably guessed, cacti. Fascinating, bold hues and authentic beauty radiate from these three bracelets. Emeralds and diamonds add luxurious brilliance, with intricate and opulent designs.
Prices range from $77,00 to $236,000. Shop Here.
Amulette de Cartier Bracelet Collection
This small collection of Cartier bracelets is a great option if you’re on a budget and like the look of amulet bracelets. Priced at $1,780 to $2,025, the collection provides an enchanting appeal. Natural gemstones, accent diamonds, and secure padlock designs make for appealing bracelets.
Of course, some feel a spiritual or healing connection to amulets as well. Clean and classic lines make these bracelets easy to pair with everyday outfits.
Mother of Pearl Amulette de Cartier Bracelet-B6044017
This 18K yellow gold bracelet features 0.02 carats of brilliant-cut diamonds, accompanied by a white mother of pearl with a classic amulet design. Refined, simply, and a good value, this retails for $1,780. Buy Here.
A magnificent offering from Cartier's Amulette de Cartier line. The bracelet comes sculpted from 18k yellow gold and it has the signature motif in mother of pearl highlighted by a shimmering diamond. Smoothly finished, the desirable creation deserves to be on your wrist.
Black Onyx Amulette de Cartier Bracelet- B6044117
