Cartier Choker Necklaces
French jeweler Louis-François Cartier (1819–1904) opened his namesake maison in 1847, and while the now-renowned luxury jewelry house would soon count Napoléon Bonaparte’s niece Princess Mathilde Bonaparte as a client, Cartier necklaces didn’t enjoy attention on the world stage until years later.
Louis-François’s son Alfred became a partner in the Cartier business in 1872 and took the reins officially in 1874. Later, he brought his sons Louis, Pierre and Jacques into the fold, and the brand became internationally known, with boutique branches opening in London, New York City and, in 1908, a Russian boutique in St. Petersburg. Soon, such famous international icons as Grace Kelly, Wallis Simpson and Marjorie Merriweather Post all donned Cartier jewels around their necks on a regular basis. The latter, an heiress to the Post cereal company, purchased what is referred to as the Art Deco style Post Emerald necklace, which features 24 baroque-cut drops of emerald sourced from Colombia, in the late 1920s.
Perhaps one of Cartier’s most recognizable designs is the Collier Hindou necklace, a sumptuous piece encrusted with emeralds, rubies, sapphires and diamonds commissioned by French-American socialite Daisy Fellowes in 1936. Fellowes’s piece was part of what would become the maison’s famous Tutti Frutti collection, whose origins began in 1901 when Pierre Cartier designed an Indian-inspired necklace for Queen Alexandra of Great Britain to be paired with Indian gowns that she received as gifts. Years later, Jacques Cartier started integrating stone-carving techniques from India’s jewelry-making traditions that he learned when he visited Delhi. The Cartier designs of the 1920s and ’30s that featured Indian-inspired carved gemstones in natural motifs such as fruits, flowers and berries would become part of the so-called Tutti Frutti collection, which officially earned its name in the 1970s.
Another well-known and cherished collection is the Amulette de Cartier, which the house launched in 2014. The padlock-shaped necklace symbolizes protecting one’s innermost wishes. The disk-shaped pendant, which opens and closes like a lock, initially featured a black-onyx or diamond centerpiece, and variations have the focal point surrounded by white mother-of-pearl, malachite and other materials. Models Karlie Kloss and Poppy Delevingne have been photographed in the Amulette de Cartier, and sales have soared since its debut.

Questions About Cartier Choker Necklaces
- Is Cartier the same as Rolex?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertDecember 17, 2024No, Cartier is not the same as Rolex. Louis-François Cartier founded Cartier in Paris in 1847. Some of its most iconic watches include the Tank, the Santos, the Ballon Bleu, the Calibre de Cartier and the Drive de Cartier. Hans Wilsdorf established Rolex in London in 1905. Today, the maker is well-known for its sophisticated watches, including the Submariner, the Daytona, the DateJust, the Oyster Perpetual and the GMT-Master II. Find a selection of Cartier and Rolex watches on 1stDibs.
- 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.
- What is Cartier Vermeil?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Cartier Vermeil means a timepiece made by the French luxury jewelry house of Cartier out of a material called vermeil. It is a precious metal produced by combining genuine gold and silver. Shop a variety of Cartier Vermeil watches on 1stDibs.
- What is Cartier Vendôme?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The meaning of Cartier Vendôme varies. Most often, the term describes a line of watches made by the French luxury jewelry house. However, the company has also produced sunglasses and wedding jewelry with the style name Cartier Vendôme. Shop a variety of Cartier Vendôme watches on 1stDibs.
- What is Cartier famous for?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022Cartier is famous for producing jewelry and watches out of rare and luxury-grade materials and creating innovative designs, often packed with symbolism. Some of the jeweler's most famous pieces include the modern Love and Trinity bracelets and its custom-made antique and vintage jewelry like the Crocodile and Patiala necklaces. Find a range of Cartier jewelry and watches on 1stDibs.
- What is the Cartier logo?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMay 3, 2024The Cartier logo is a pair of interlocking Cs. However, many people associate the panther with the French luxury jewelry maker more than its actual logo. Louis Cartier incorporated the feline figure into its design lexicon. In 1914, Cartier hired illustrator George Barbier to design advertisements for the jewelry house. Barbier drafted a drawing that featured a glamorous woman with an elegant panther at her feet, and Cartier loved it. He had an additional connection to the panther in the form of his alleged romantic interest, fellow Cartier designer Jeanne Toussaint, who adored the animal so much that she decorated her apartment with furs and donned a coat of panther fur. Cartier gave her the long-lasting nickname Panthère. Since then, Cartier has offered watches, bracelets, necklaces, brooches and earrings inspired by the panther. Find a diverse assortment of Cartier jewelry on 1stDibs.
- What is the Cartier symbol?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Today, the Cartier symbol, or logo, is the luxury house's name written in a clean serif font that mimics cursive handwriting. Typically, the logo is either black on white or white on a black background. Its refined and understated appearance references the high standards that have long been associated with this celebrated brand.
- Why Cartier is so expensive?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021One of the reasons Cartier is so expensive is because, since its inception in 1847, the brand has had a massive celebrity fan base that spans royals, movie stars, singers and socialites. The brand also uses the highest quality metals and gems in their pieces, rendering them expensive to produce. Lastly, most Cartier pieces are easy to identify, making brand recognition a key factor in the brand's exclusivity.
- 1stDibs ExpertJanuary 10, 2025Cartier is special for at least a few reasons. The French luxury brand is one of the most well-known and internationally revered jewelers in the world.
Cartier has helped create style trends over the course of its long history, including playing a prominent role in defining Art Deco jewelry. The brand designed one of the first modern wristwatches for men — the Santos de Cartier — and its Panthère motif and Love bracelet are universally renowned among lovers of fine jewelry.
Additionally, it should come as no surprise that Cartier engagement rings are among the most desirable on the jewelry market for those hoping to be betrothed. The house, founded in 1847 by Louis-François Cartier, pioneered the use of platinum in fine jewelry in the late 1800s, identifying the strong, lustrous metal as ideal for bringing out the true qualities of diamonds.
Find Cartier jewelry for sale on 1stDibs. - 1stDibs ExpertDecember 17, 2024Yes, Cartier is generally as prestigious as Rolex. These two luxury watch brands are universally heralded for all the distinctive timepieces they’ve brought to market. The main reasons for Rolex's success are its unwavering commitment to precision and an unflagging pursuit of innovation. During its long history, Rolex has introduced the world's first waterproof watch, the first wristwatch to feature an automatic date-changing function and more. Cartier has an equally rich heritage. The Santos de Cartier watch was one of the world's first modern, commercially successful wristwatches for men. On 1stDibs, explore a diverse assortment of Cartier and Rolex watches.
- Is Cartier a watch company?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertDecember 5, 2024Yes, Cartier is a watch company. It also produces jewelry, sunglasses and other accessories. For its extraordinary range of bracelets, watches, rings and other adornments, French luxury house Cartier is undeniably one of the best-known and internationally revered jewelers in the world. One of Cartier’s earliest major successes was the Santos de Cartier watch — one of the world's first modern wristwatches for men. (Previously, many people only used pocket watches.) Louis Cartier designed the timepiece in 1904 for his friend, popular Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont, who wanted to be able to check the time more easily while flying. On 1stDibs, find a wide range of Cartier watches.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022Cartier only uses high-quality diamonds in their jewelry designs. The brand works only with gemstones that rank as Very Good or Excellent for cut and between IF and VS2 for clarity according to GIA standards. On 1stDibs, find a range of Cartier diamond jewelry.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 21, 2023The most popular Cartier jewelry is open to debate. Because the French luxury jewelry maker has produced many iconic lines and style trends change over time, it can be difficult to state which is the most popular at any given moment. Some highly sought-after Cartier pieces include those from the Love, Trinity and Panthère de Cartier collections, as well as the Juste un Clou bracelet. On 1stDibs, shop a wide range of Cartier jewelry.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 27, 2023There are a few things that are special about the Cartier Santos watch. One is its history. When it debuted in 1904, it was one of the world's first modern wristwatches for men. Louis Cartier designed the timepiece for his friend, popular Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont, who wanted to be able to check the time more easily while flying. A unique feature of the Santos is that it comes with both a bracelet and a leather strap, plus a tool that lets you easily swap out the components. Also, many people appreciate the watch’s timeless details, which haven't changed much since its inception. Shop a large selection of Cartier Santos watches on 1stDibs.
