Oh. Well I don't shop at Cartier LOL so I would not know. Now I am familiar with the blue box as I have purchased their items.

Nothing QVC sells even comes near what Cartier sells. If you want to see what gems are supposed to look like watch gem shopping network or go to their website. Of course their gemstone jewelry cost much much more than what QVC sells. But it is interesting to see the difference.

They aren't legally allowed to say the names Cartier and Tiffany when comparing their jewelry to those legendary stores. They adapted the code names blue and red box a long time ago when fine gold and silver shows were staples in the regular weekly QVC lineup.

The blue box got fame for a movie but the red had the better jewelry. And they never made table lamps.

They are always making reference to the store with the red box when comparing their jewelry stating "it looks just as good as the store with the red box but you're not paying their price." Just like Kim G. says her clothing is so money but you're not paying the price that you would in those expensive designer boutiques.

They are referring to a specific bracelet Cartier created that has locking screws, called the Love bracelet.

It is very trendy and popular, but I think it is too industrial looking for me, and I would never purchase it.

There are knock-offs galore on the Internet. I actually like the QVC bracelet (Accents by Affinity)--it is silver with a few diamonds. It reminds me even of the brand called Buccellati Macri bracelet, which I would love to own.

However, I do not wear silver, so I will not buy the QVC option.

We have a Cartier store here in our mall in King of Prussia, and during the holidays you have to make an appointment to shop there!

Cartier is most famous for their beautiful and exotic diamond panther jewelry, and their elegant watches.

If any of you have been watching QVC for the last million years you may recall that QVC did at one time offer Buccellati Diamonique versions of some of their pieces. Got a bracelet and a ring ..Dang, shouda,woulda coulda...ancient history.

Cartier does not do 14K. Only 18K No silver. Only platinum. They have something called Pink Gold. They have a certain mix of metals for this. I'm not sure you can get the pink gold outside pf Cartier. It's very pretty

Lisa Robertson used to refer to it as "that store with the name like a former president who was a peanut farmer...add a vowel."

Blame some immigrants with the name Cartier. It quickly became Carter. But it existed thousands of years before as Cartier. It actually became Anglicized as Carter in Scotland. The name is derived from the Latin Carrum which means carrier.

I've noticed a lot of upscale retailers are just giving new names to rose, white and yellow gold and platinum to make them sound more exclusive. I've heard strawberry, honey, vanilla and the list goes on.💝

The proglem is rose gold. Some people want a different kind of rose gold. I like 18K rose gold. I hate it in 14K. This veron of it in 18K is very feminine

It is interesting that purse forum members say rose Cartier color get lighter in time, more yellow.

I looked up the Cartier love bracelet and it is $7,350 on their official website ! I bet they don't even do Easy Pay .

Wow, that's a lot of money .
