How to recognize a real gem Cartier ?
Take the example of two rings Love of the House Cartier. To be able to recognize a fake ring Love of a real one, several elements must be taken into account:
Traces of oxidation and wear
Fake rings Love may show signs of oxidation and wear that would not normally be present on authentic 18k gold jewelry.
The inscription “Love" on the edge
If a ring presents an engraved inscription "Love" on the edge, it is a counterfeit. In fact, the authentic models of Cartier Love do not include this inscription.
The designs of the ring
Stylized screw patterns should be well proportioned, not excessively sunk, and consistent on an authentic ring. A counterfeit may have crude and irregular patterns.
Details of the signature
The signature must be clear, not blurred, and the maker's mark must match those listed by the house Cartier. A deviation from these criteria may indicate counterfeiting.
The weight
A ring Love authentic will have an appropriate weight for a piece of gold jewelry. A ring that is too light may indicate that it is not real gold and that it was not made by a major Parisian house.
The jewel of the house
The box of a ring Cartier authentic must be of quality, without traces of glue or signs of detachment. Visual details must be clear, regular and precise, without smudges.
By keeping these criteria in mind, it is possible to distinguish a fake ring Love of a real one. That being said, only an expert will be able to definitively confirm the authenticity of a ring. Cartier, because it also has more precise measuring instruments to check all these elements more precisely.
