The birth of a Cartier ring

How long does it take to create a Cartier ring?

As Rome was not built in a day, creating a Cartier ring also takes time. Even before designing the sketch of a ring, other steps are necessary. Choosing gems, metal, and an entire theme takes a lot of patience. It will then be necessary to draw and color it before passing it to the finger. The creation of a Cartier ring is not counted in hours or days, but in years.

Before creating a Cartier ring

Before even asking jewelry artists to draw a sketch of a ring, jewelry professionals choose the gemstones. When you set your sights on a used Cartier ring of our online sales site, this one was certainly thought of many years before it was even at your fingertips.

Cartier begins with the crucial step, that of choosing the precious stones that adorn each theme of the collection. Each gem must be chosen with care and professionalism. The jeweler observes its shape, size, transparency, color and all of its qualities. Once the jewelers have enough gemstones to complete an entire theme, they can move on to the second step. This first step before creating the theme of a jewelry collection can be long. Gemstones are not always easy to find and choose. They must all, without exception, be perfect.

The birth of a Cartier ring

Before being able to wear a sumptuous Cartier ring, it is first created on paper. A drawing and then a watercolor will be made before being imagined in 3 dimensions.

Drawing and coloring

All Cartier rings, available on our online sales site used jewelry, were painted before being fashioned in a metal and set with gems. Like a fashion designer, a jewelry professional invents and creates on paper the future Cartier ring that will complete a collection. First a sketch in pencil or charcoal is presented. If the drawing is suitable, the watercolor will bring out the color and the volume of the jewel. With painting, the cartier ring becomes more real and helps the jeweler to create a unique and perfect jewel.

Goldsmith's work

Once the watercolor drawing has been validated, the jewelers set to work. One will shape and cut the stones while the other will work the chosen metal. Sometimes, it is the same jeweler who takes care of all the stages of creation. Giving the desired shape to white, yellow or pink gold or even silver requires precision and patience. This meticulous work requires many hours of concentration. It is only after this precision work carried out that the moment of assembly will come. This step, which gives life to a design, is certainly the one preferred by all jewelers. The end is coming. The ring will finally have a prestigious look. The stones are posed, welded, crimped in the metal and follow the shape desired by the drawing of the beginning. Once hung together, the soul mates that are the stones and the precious metals go through refining.

Le polishing of the Cartier ring

This last step gives stars in the eyes. When the goldsmith offers the finished jewel which shows all its brilliance, one can only be captivated. The drawing came to life. The Cartier ring is born and ready to be presented. Where the precious stones are polished to declare to the one who will choose the ring all the light and the color of the gems. The gold or silver is rubbed and cleaned to then be placed on the finger. The jewel is then of a scintillating brilliance, a unique creation so much desired. The Cartier ring is then packed in a box so as not to lose any of its advantages. Before, it will of course be photographed and presented to lovers of the Cartier house. 

It therefore takes between one and two years to see the birth of a Cartier ring and an entire collection. It takes time so that once born, it is unique and offers the undeniable quality of the prestigious Cartier jewelry house!
