Cartier Clip-on Earrings
Vintage Cartier earrings have forever been a favorite of celebrities and royalty alike. Apart from its statement pieces, the house’s offerings include understated accessories, such as diamond-studded hoops, delicate danglers and classic stud earrings that feature diamonds, pearls and brilliant colored gems. Cartier’s signature designs have transcended time and trends, appearing everywhere from red carpets to royal courts.
Ordained “the jeweler of kings and the king of jewelers” by King Edward VII of England, Cartier is the brand behind some of the world’s most iconic, luxurious and regal designs. It was founded in 1847 by master jeweler Louis-François Cartier and expanded considerably under Louis-François’s son, Alfred, who took over in 1874. While Alfred’s three sons Louis, Pierre and Jacques later grew the business on an international level, Cartier’s associations with royalty can be traced back to its early days.
Commissions from Princess Mathilde Bonaparte, niece of Napoleon Bonaparte, for earrings and other accessories began in the late 1850s, and relationships between Cartier and Czar Nicholas II of Russia, King Edward VII and others took shape in the decades that followed.
For more than 100 years, Cartier jewelry has been a favorite of the British Royal Family. Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, inherited Cartier chandelier earrings as well as a pair of Cartier-designed pear-drop diamond earrings, which feature two pear-shaped diamonds weighing approximately 20 carats each, from Margaret Greville during the early 1940s. They would in turn be inherited by Queen Elizabeth II in 2002. (Diana, Princess of Wales, borrowed them in the 1980s from time to time.) Meghan Markle favors her Galanterie de Cartier studs.
Cartier earrings are defined by the bold design sensibility and attention to detail for which the fine jewelry house is known. Earrings that have origins in its revered collections, such as the Love collection’s modernist Love earrings, Trinity earrings, the Panthère earrings and others, are everyday classics for women who want jewelry that is elegant and tells a story. Angelina Jolie has been spotted in the audacious Juste un Clou earrings, which were designed during the 1970s and inspired by carpenter nails, while filmmaker Sofia Coppola has touted her affection for Cartier’s Paris Nouvelle Vague collection and the brand’s Art Deco diamond earrings. (The luxury house helped define the Art Deco era — the look that Cartier was favoring in post–World War I Paris, London and New York was a radical departure from the Belle Epoque garland style it had once popularized.)
New and vintage Cartier earrings are an important part of its grand heritage — find your next pair on 1stDibs.

Founded in Paris in 1847, by Louis-Francois Cartier, the company known as Cartier quickly became recognized for its exemplary workmanship and taste. Louis-Francois Cartier began his esteemed career at 28, after an apprenticeship with master watchmaker Adolphe Picard resulted in Cartier taking over the master’s workshop, 29 rue Montorgueil, Paris. He expanded the premises, and built his reputation on knowing how to satisfy the most extravagant of desires. By 1853 Louis Francois was able to move his business to the more fashionable Palais-Royal district at 5 Rue Neuve des petits Champs. He became a favorite of Princess Mathilde, the cousin of Napoleon III, whose patronage opened the door to Parisian society. In 1874 Alfred Cartier took over the company from his father Louis Francois. In 1898 the Cartier company made a final move in Paris and they still remain at 13 Rue de La Paix, in the heart of Parisian elegance and luxury. Alfred Cartier entrusted his three sons to manage the Maison de Cartier. Among Louis Cartier’s most important and lasting innovations was introducing the combination of platinum and diamonds to create garland style jewelry...

- Why is Cartier so popular?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2024There are a few reasons why Cartier is so popular. For one thing, the French luxury house is known for its very long history of unparalleled prestige and quality craftsmanship. Cartier has been producing extraordinary jewelry, watches and accessories since 1847. While jewelry lovers have long been enthusiastic about Cartier’s elegant and streamlined designs for bracelets, rings, necklaces and other pieces, the brand is also known for innovation. It pioneered the use of platinum in fine jewelry, and its artisans were so mindful of trends in fashion that the house became the official jewelry supplier to King Edward VII. Later, Cartier’s Art Deco-era pieces would help define the movement with which they are associated. One of the brand’s earliest major successes was the Santos de Cartier watch, one of the world's first modern wristwatches for men. Today’s influencers continue to help popularize the brand, increasing the demand for certain pieces like Cartier buffalo horn sunglasses and the Cartier Love bracelet, an icon of modernist jewelry. Find a wide range of Cartier watches, jewelry and eyewear on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023The original Cartier Tank watch, which was emblematic of a stark departure from the renowned jewelry house’s curved and round watch faces in that its case resembled the FT-17’s cockpit, served as a sleek update to the Santos watch. Crafted in 1917, one year before the Great War came to a close, Cartier’s Tank watch reportedly borrowed its clean, sharp lines and boxy silhouette from France’s legendary Renault FT-17 light tank, itself a compact and extraordinary design that inspired numerous copies. When the Tank watch went to market, Cartier offered a limited run in Paris. After those quickly sold, it was given a name, the Tank Normale. The timepiece took off in popularity, but only slightly more than 30 were made in 1920 and annual production has been slow over the years since then. Find Cartier Tank watches on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023On Cartier jewelry, a 750 stamp means that a piece is 75% gold metal. You will find the stamp on the 18-karat gold pieces made by Cartier, such as the Love bracelet. On 1stDibs, find an assortment of Cartier jewelry from some of the worlds top sellers.

- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 8, 2023Whether a Cartier watch is bigger than a Rolex watch depends on the particular timepiece. Cartier offers watches in sizes ranging from 28 millimeters for women to 44 millimeters for men. Rolex's smallest women's watch is bigger than Cartier's at 31 millimeters, but the watchmaker's largest men's watch is only 43 millimeters. Find a variety of Rolex and Cartier watches on 1stDibs.

- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 3, 2023While the Panthère de Cartier watch collection was initially launched in 1983, Cartier included panther spots (and only the spots) in diamonds and onyx on at least one women’s watch in 1914 and another in 1915. These creations were conceived by the Cartier designer Charles Jacqueau. The cat’s major breakthrough came in 1949, with a brooch on which Jeanne Toussaint worked hand in glove with designer Peter Lemarchand. The luxury jewelry house now offers dozens of versions of the Panthère de Cartier timepiece, including double- and triple-wrap bracelets, a series of cuffs and a diamond-encrusted panther spot version.
