Used Cartier jewellery and watches typically sell for $21 to $3,148 (about £16 to £2,340) depending on the piece and its condition. Jewellery divides sharply into precious metal and everything else, and the whole listing follows from which one you have. A hallmark or a metal stamp is what a buyer looks for first, and describing plated or crystal-set pieces as silver or gold is the fastest route to a dispute.

Sizing, metal and hallmarks on Cartier jewellery and watches
Cartier pieces carry a serial number and hallmarks appropriate to the metal and country of assay, and its designs use screw fittings that need the correct tool rather than a conventional clasp. Ring sizing follows a European numeric scale.
- Gold and platinum pieces are central to this market and are priced on metal and condition together
- Watches are a separate market again where service history matters more than appearance
- Because several designs use screw fittings, whether the original tool is included affects what a buyer is taking on
What to check before you buy
Photograph the hallmarks and any serial number clearly, and say whether any original fitting tool is present. Hallmarks tell a buyer the metal and the assay office, which is the factual basis for any valuation.
For the checks that apply to any used jewellery and watches regardless of the maker, see the guide to buying used jewellery and watches.
What you keep when you sell
On a typical $1,585 Cartier piece, a marketplace charging 20% takes $317, one charging 13.6% takes $216 and one charging 10% takes $158. WishThrift charges neither side, so you keep the whole $1,585.
Listing your Cartier jewellery and watches
- Consider selling charms and small pieces individually. Collectors hunt specific items, and a loaded bracelet often realises less than the sum of what is on it
- Polish silver and clean stones before photographing. It is the cheapest improvement available in any category and it changes the photograph completely

Questions
What do hallmarks on jewellery tell you?
The metal and its fineness, the assay office that tested it and often a date letter. In the UK most precious metal above a small weight must be hallmarked, so their presence and legibility is the first thing to photograph.
Why does a screw fitting matter?
Because the piece cannot be opened or closed without the correct tool, and a replacement is not always easy to obtain. Say whether the original is included rather than leaving a buyer to discover it is not.
