Cartier Love Collection Appraisal

Cartier Love Hoop Earrings in 18K White Gold with Two Diamonds

A pair of earrings inspired by the iconic Cartier Love collection, featuring a wide-band hoop design. The items are crafted in a silver-toned metal, typically 18K white gold, and feature the signature screw motif synonymous with the brand's aesthetic. Each earring is embellished with two bezel-set round brilliant-cut diamonds, replacing two of the traditional screw hallmarks. The interior of the hoop shows official hallmarks, including '750' (denoting 18K gold purity) and what appears to be a serial number or maker's registration mark, though the image focus makes specific alphanumeric characters difficult to read. The construction includes a hinged post-back mechanism for secure wear. The exterior surface displays a high-polish finish, while the interior shows a more textured casting grain. There is visible wear and surface scratching consistent with regular use, and some darkening or oxidation is noted around the hinge and post area, which is common in older pieces or those exposed to hair products and moisture. The overall craftsmanship reflects the high standards of luxury jewelry, with precise indentations for the screw motifs and deep, clear interior stamping. These pieces likely date from the late 20th to early 21st century.
