About this piece

Cartier 1895 wedding band, 18k rose gold, 2.5 mm. Cartier size 71, US 13.75.

Size before anything else. 13.75 is a large men's size and it will not fit most buyers. If it is your size, a plain Cartier band in rose gold this big does not come up often, and that is most of what you are paying for.

No stones, no motif, no engraving. Polished, domed, sits close to the finger. The 1895 is the plainest thing Cartier makes and it has been in the catalogue since the year it is named for.

Rose over yellow. Warmer against skin, and on a wide hand it reads softer than a bright yellow band of the same width.

Condition report

Pre-owned and previously worn. The photograph is of this exact ring. This ring was purchased through eBay's Authenticity Guarantee programme, which means it was routed to eBay's expert authenticators and passed a multi-point inspection verifying that it is a genuine Cartier and matches its description, before it was released to us. That inspection is documented by eBay, not by us, and it is the strongest provenance this particular ring carries. No box and no papers. The ring is stamped inside the shank in the normal Cartier manner; we have not had the hallmark independently re-examined beyond eBay's authentication and we are not claiming otherwise. We have one photograph of this ring and it does not show the inside of the shank. If you want the hallmark, the serial or any other detail photographed before you buy, ask and we will shoot it — the ring is here.

We write up the flaws as well as the good. If something is not original or not present, it is stated here rather than left for you to find.

Common questions

Is this piece authentic?

Yes, and it is guaranteed in writing. We own this piece outright — nothing here is on consignment or drop-shipped. Every piece is verified before it ships: gold is acid- and electronically tested for karat and weighed on a calibrated scale, and stones are checked for treatment. The condition report on this listing states exactly what has been checked so far. If it is ever shown not to be genuine, we refund the full purchase price with no time limit.

Why is the wire price lower than the card price?

Card payments carry a processing cost, and we pass it through at cost rather than building it into every price. Paying by bank wire, Zelle or cash on local collection saves you $24 on this piece. Send the enquiry form on this listing and we will reply with wire instructions the same day.

Can I see more photographs before I buy?

Yes. Ask and we will send additional photographs, close-ups of the hallmark and setting, and a video of it in hand the same day. We would rather you saw everything first — that is cheaper for both of us than a return.

How is it shipped, and is it insured?

It ships via FedEx or UPS, fully insured for the purchase price and signature required on delivery, within 1 business day of cleared payment. Shipping is included anywhere in the United States. We do not ship watches internationally. Local collection in Orange County can be arranged by appointment.

What is the return policy?

Sales are final, with one exception. If a piece arrives and it is genuinely not as described, contact us within 3 days of delivery and we will pay the return shipping and refund you in full — that is our error, not yours. Contact us before sending anything back so we can authorise the return and send the insured label. We do not accept returns for a change of mind or for fit, and we do not offer exchanges, because every piece is a one of one. This is why we would rather send you every photograph, the hallmark close-ups, and answer every question before you buy. The authenticity guarantee is separate and has no time limit: if anything we sell is ever shown not to be genuine, we refund it in full.

How we know it is real.

Not a badge — a process. This is exactly what happens to every piece between buying it and listing it.

01
Acquired outright
We own everything we list. Nothing is on consignment and nothing is drop-shipped from a third party — each piece is bought and paid for before it is offered, whether from a private seller we met locally or from an established trade source. Where a piece came from is stated on its listing.
02
Metal and stones verified
Gold is acid- and electronically tested for karat and weighed on a calibrated scale. Watches have the caseback off: calibre and serial checked against the reference, movement timed, case and bracelet examined under magnification. Diamonds and coloured stones are checked for treatment.
03
Documented before it ships
Condition is written up honestly, including the flaws, and any treatment that affects value or care is disclosed in plain language. If a piece does not pass, we do not sell it as something it is not.
04
Guaranteed after it ships
Take it to any authorised dealer, independent watchmaker or certified gemologist you like. If a piece we sold is ever shown not to be authentic, we refund it in full — no time limit, no conditions.
