How to tell if a Cartier ring is real or fake? The difference between a Cartier A-grade and a genuine one

Cartier jewelry has always been popular and loved by everyone. Cartier rings are what every woman dreams of. As a world-renowned brand, there are many fakes of Cartier on the market, so everyone should be careful to distinguish them.

The most direct way to distinguish the authenticity of Cartier rings is to look at the source. Generally speaking, as long as you buy it at a Cartier counter, there is a formal invoice, and the price is similar to the official price, it is genuine. Cartier rings are generally not cheap, and the official price will also be clearly marked. If the price of the Cartier you buy differs by hundreds or thousands from the counter, it may not be genuine. The packaging of genuine products is very exquisite, the box is very beautiful, and there are generally beautifully made instructions or warranty cards inside. The packaging of fakes is rough, the fonts are relatively blurred, and some even do not have these packaging materials. Generally speaking, the most easily exposed part of fakes is the LOGO, especially the LOGO on the surface. If the LOGO is rough and irregular, it is very likely to be a fake. Cartier's products are exquisitely crafted, with tight and flexible joints, smooth and cornerless edges, uniform and bright electroplating, and very clear text on the surface. Cartier is a French watch and jewelry manufacturer founded by Louis-Francois Cartier at 31 Rue Montorgueil, Paris in 1847. In 1874, Louis-Francois Cartier's son Alfred Cartier inherited the management rights, and later his grandsons Louis Cartier, Pierre Cartier and Jacques Cartier developed it into a world-famous brand. In the 2018 Fortune 500 list, Cartier ranked 110th.

1. Each Cartier ring has its own logo inside the ring. The authenticity of the ring can be determined by the engraving process, color, depth, etc. If it is a genuine Cartier ring, then its internal imprint is the same color as the ring itself, and the engraving is darker and the font lines are smoother. The manufacturing process of the imitation ring is not so good, so the engraved font is lighter, and there are some differences in the font details from the genuine one, which can be found by careful observation.

2. The authenticity of a Cartier ring can also be determined by other marks inside the ring. A careful observation will reveal that the material of the imitation ring will have sunken edges of fonts and marks due to the pressure of the engraving tool, while the authentic ring will not have this problem. The edges of the fonts and marks of the authentic ring are still flat and very smooth.

3. Cartier rings are a world-renowned brand, so the quality and workmanship are relatively fine, especially in terms of details, which are impeccable. Take the Cartier classic love series ring as an example. The surface of this ring has a screw-shaped concave mark. If it is a genuine ring, the screw position is centered and finely polished, without any burr marks, and has a delicate brushed effect. You can observe this carefully, especially the concave surface of the genuine product is at a vertical angle, and you will find it if you observe carefully. The genuine Cartier ring has no flaws. If you find that there are burrs on the surface of the ring, it feels rough, and other quality conditions, then this ring is not genuine. In addition, the price of Cartier rings is usually more expensive, and the cheapest one costs more than 5,000 yuan. If you find that the price of the ring is relatively cheap, you need to pay more attention to it. If you are still worried about the authenticity of the Cartier ring, you can go to the Cartier official website and other channels to check the authenticity of the ring according to the number.

1. Look at the engraving. The engraving molds of genuine products are carefully opened and polished. The imprint of genuine products is very delicate, and the bottom of the font is relatively smooth. The font of fake products is relatively thick. Secondly, the bottom of the font is very rough, with uneven noise points. You can see the difference by comparing them. From the picture, you can clearly distinguish the difference in craftsmanship between the real and the fake. The noise points of fake products are very obvious, and the bottom of the font is very rough.

2. Look at the price. From the price point of view, most of the buyers who are deceived are because they are greedy for small bargains. If the price is too cheap, it must be a fake. The most common K gold ring costs 61,000 yuan, platinum rings cost 15,000 yuan, and diamond rings cost more than 65,000 yuan.

3. Look at the color of the diamond. Different diamonds have different natural colors. Diamonds all have natural colors. Colorless is the best color. As the yellow color deepens, it is considered inferior. Pure, flawless, white and translucent are the common features of Cartier diamonds, because it pursues the highest level of perfection.

4. Look at the cut of the diamond. Cut is an important factor that determines the value of diamonds. A good cut is equivalent to giving diamonds a second life. It can show the inner brilliance of the diamond through the cutting points, making it more perfectly displayed in front of the public.

5. Look at the weight of the diamond. Diamonds are measured in carats, and the 4Cs are the easiest to measure. One carat is equivalent to 0.2 grams. Fakes on the market are often slightly lighter and cannot reach the delicate weight of Cartier. Therefore, diamonds that are too light or too heavy are all fakes.

6. The most direct way to identify the authenticity of a Cartier ring is to ask the Cartier counter staff to inspect it. Generally, the service of big brands is better. Even if you did not buy it from them, you can take the ring to them for inspection, and they will tell you whether the ring in your hand is authentic.

We can also clean Cartier rings at home to keep them shiny. Be sure to use a washbasin when cleaning, because the ring is easy to fall off when cleaning, and it will be troublesome if it accidentally falls into the sewer. Fill the washbasin with clean water, then put the ring in it, take out the ring and apply a proper amount of toothpaste on the surface, then use a cloth for cleaning glasses to gently wipe the surface of the ring, then soak it in clean water and rinse it, and then wipe it clean with a towel.
