- What are Cartier glasses called?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 6, 2023Cartier glasses are called by a variety of nicknames. These include 'Ye's, Sticks, Carties and Cardisa. Many people refer to Cartier sunglasses and eyeglasses fashioned out of buffalo horn as Buffs. Explore a wide variety of Cartier glasses from some of the world's top dealers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 14, 2023There are a couple of reasons why Cartier glasses are so special. First, the French luxury brand produces each pair with careful attention to detail and precise crafting techniques that make the eyewear stylish and durable. Cartier also uses fine-quality materials like buffalo horn, titanium, gold, leather, onyx and bubinga wood. Additionally, many Detroit rappers like Royce da 5'9", Tee Grizzley and Big Sean have sported Cartier sunglasses over the years, making the brand's eyewear synonymous with hip-hop culture. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of Cartier glasses.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2023The Cartier glasses that rappers wear vary. One of the most popularly sported styles is the Cartier C D�cor, sometimes called Big Cs. The C D�cor sunglasses that feature frames made of white buffalo horn are informally known as "White Buffs," and these are favorites of rappers from Detroit. Two other Cartier eyewear designs, the Bagatelle and the Giverney, are also popular. Explore a selection of Cartier sunglasses on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 6, 2023Yes, Cartier glasses are high quality. The French luxury brand uses only premium materials like solid gold, titanium, buffalo horn, leather, onyx and bubinga wood to produce its eyewear, and the lenses are durable and resistant to scratching. Artisans take great care when creating each pair of eyeglasses and sunglasses to ensure that the finished piece is free of flaws. On 1stDibs, find a variety of Cartier glasses.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 14, 2023Yes, some Cartier glasses have come with diamonds. The French luxury jewelry maker made its first foray into producing eyewear when a French princess commissioned Louis Cartier to craft a pair of diamond-set tortoise shell opera glasses. Up until 1983, Cartier only created bespoke glasses, many of which showcased diamonds. Contemporary Cartier glasses usually don't feature diamonds, but some people have them added to their eyewear aftermarket. On 1stDibs, find a variety of Cartier glasses.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2023To tell if vintage Cartier glasses are real, first look for the brand's logo on the outside of the arms. It should be spelled correctly and in the French luxury fashion house's iconic gold-toned italic font. Because some vintage pieces may lack serial numbers and other markings used to identify contemporary eyewear, you may wish to enlist the help of a licensed appraiser or knowledgeable dealer for assistance with authentication. Explore a selection of Cartier glasses on 1stDibs.
