Cartier 14k Gold Shell Vintage Clip-On Earrings

About Cartier brand Since 1847, Cartier has been synonymous with exceptional craftsmanship. The brand’s story began when Louis-François Cartier took over the workshop of his master, Adolphe Picard, in Paris. From the very start, Cartier focused on creating exquisite jewelry and watches. His dedication to quality and attention to detail quickly won over the elite clientele of Paris. Cartier’s reputation was further solidified in 1902 when King Edward VII of England set even higher standards for the brand. That year, Cartier crafted 27 tiaras for the coronation and was officially named the crown’s jeweler. This honor earned Cartier the title "king of jewelers, jeweler of kings"; a legacy that continues to this day. The Cartier family passed down this legacy through generations, with each member playing a part in the brand’s global success. In 1964, however, the Cartier family decided to sell the business. Despite changing hands several times, Cartier has remained true to its commitment to quality and innovation. Today, the brand is part of the Richemont Group, a leader in luxury goods. Unlike other renowned luxury jewelry brands like Van Cleef & Arpels or Tiffany & Co., which often work with a variety of precious stones, Cartier has a strong focus on diamonds and pieces crafted in different hues of gold. Over the years, Cartier has created numerous iconic pieces. From the classic Cartier Love bracelet to the famous Panther collection and the Trinity line—not to mention a stunning array of watches—Cartier’s creations have captured hearts around the world. But here, an Nadine Krakov Collection, we have a special place for vintage Cartier jewelry. We admire the uniqueness and craftsmanship of our estate pieces, each one with a character and story all its own. The quality of Cartier’s creations is beyond question. The Maison continues to uphold its tradition of creativity, innovation, and commitment to its heritage at the highest possible level. Whether you’re purchasing a Cartier diamond ring or another piece of Cartier jewelry, you’re becoming the proud owner of a symbol of enduring beauty.
