great guide but i think you may want to take a second look at your personal pair my guy. the c‘s on your temples have a 3 dimensional look to them when they should have a flat look. the temples have a recession in them where they connect. and they also never made blonde c-decors, guts should be black/dark grey depending on the horn unless you have brown buffs.
I thought Cartier doesn’t make ALLL WHITE buffalo horn is this true? Do they have black inside or does Cartier make genuine all white cus u have some on ur face
Cartier frames have a filled in square for the gold and hollowed out square for a platinum. The serial number is always on the nose bridge unless they are older pairs like malmaisons etc or the newer style ones like shown above. The older pairs may have it on the bottom of the nose bridge and the newer pairs usually have the serial number on the side. The older pairs usually say Cartier Paris on the inside (Bubinga woods for example) instead of just Cartier and don’t have a ct number while newer ones (big cs for example might say ct0092o or ct0007 rs or other style numbers) do have them. In my opinion, lenses can’t be fake. While they can vary in quality most people put after market custom lenses in their frames. The nose bridge also should have the color code, serial number and bridge length (that 2 digit number on the nose) spaced out from each other. A lot of fakes I’ve seen have no spacing at all. There’s more tips that are specific to certain styles but that’s a little more in depth and it would be hard to explain by typing.
100% of the time though, the nose bridge and engravings inside of the temples will always be the easiest and first dead giveaway. I have been collecting and selling them for some years now and have yet to see a fake that is actually good. Some are similar but there’s always a dead giveaway and those 2 places I mentioned above, they never get right
Is it possible to add a prescription to my original lenses rather than have new lenses made? If I wanted to have you make prescription lenses for my Cartier glasses, what lens material is recommended? I would want the lenses to have basically the same thickness as the original lenses. I assume my new lenses would not have the Cartier logo? Should I have the edges polished? I am thinking I would like to add either a transition or a gradient tint, what are your thoughts and recommendations? Sorry for so many questions but new lenses for these glasses is something I want to get right.
Also, my glasses fit a little big, lenses are 56 or 58 (I forget which), is it a possibility to have the new lenses made slightly smaller size for example size 53 or 54? Rimless Cartier buffs.

I recently bought two pairs a wood frame and a Buffalo horn frame and I was wondering if you would be able to authenticate them ?
