This little Cartier beauty came into our hands at a market one cold morning a couple of years ago. Set with old European-cut diamonds weighing approximately 1.05 carats around the rim of the timepiece and accented with smaller rose-cut diamonds to the toggle and hoop, this was a #Classic Cartier jewel.
Here at ShinyPrettyThings we believe that it’s all about the people. We select our team with as much care as we choose our sparkles. Each one of them brings their own unique style to the table and it’s the combination of our personalities that creates the dynamic that drives ShinyPrettyThings to be what it is.
I just wanted to say a huge thank you for the beautiful necklace ShinyPrettyThings obtained for Ellie. She was so thrilled with it and I just know it will be precious to her always. The colour is so vivid and she was so thrilled to open it.

Over the past year or so ShinyPrettyThings has carefully assembled a beautiful collection of Jewellery pieces for me. Predominately rings and necklaces, each piece has been carefully chosen with my personal taste in mind. I like delicate details and period design, Georgian, early Victorian and a little Art Deco…this is just what ShinyPrettyThings has found for me. I love my new ruby and diamond pearl drop earrings that were so cleverly sourced to tie in with my other pieces. ShinyPrettyThings brings wonderful customer service and immense knowledge and attention to detail to each commission.
