When you are looking for luxury eyewear, you must turn to Cartier eyewear. Indeed, these glasses have the reputation of being very elegant and rather reserved for the elite. Having Cartier eyeglasses is simply a sign of wealth and good taste. But it is not necessarily easy to choose a frame. And this for two reasons. The first reason is that new models are released twice a year. Once for the winter collection and once for the summer collection. This means that the collection gets bigger and bigger every year. And who says more glasses, necessarily says a more difficult choice to make. The second reason is the availability of the models. Each model is handmade in French workshops, so it can take several weeks or months to get a Cartier eyewear.

In any case, whether you are looking for optical frames or sunglasses, it is important to make a good choice of frames in order to get the one that will suit you best.
Many lines of Cartier glasses

Of course, there is no need to specify that there are Cartier glasses for men and others for women. In the same way, there are different types of frames: rimmed, half rimmed and especially pierced. The pierced glasses are the most popular and the most requested. These glasses do not have a rimmed frame but only a bridge and temples. In general, as for Cartier jewelry, there are different lines of glasses.
The Cartier Initiation line of glasses

This line includes exclusively models in acetate. This material has many advantages. One of its major advantages is its malleability. Indeed, we can easily adjust the glasses according to the size and shape of the wearer's face. It is also a material that can be colored with the color you want. This makes it possible to manufacture many glasses of different colors. It should also be noted that acetate is a material that costs less to produce than titanium or metal. This is why the line is called Initiation, because it offers the cheapest models. This way, you can get to know the brand without having to take too many risks.

One of the most popular models is the CT0005O, a rectangular model. This bezel is simple and elegant, with its Cartier logo on the temples and the famous "C" decoration on the studs. In the new spring/summer 2021 collection we find the Cartier CT0278S sunglasses, a thick frame that brings a modern twist to the collection.
Core Range - The line of more classic models

This is the core collection, the one with the most iconic and timeless models of the brand. This collection is aimed at customers who are already a little more confident. The one who comes on familiar ground and who is rather a fan of the brand. We find the different prints and signatures of the French House.
Cartier Piccadilly Glasses

How to talk about the Core Range, without mentioning the Cartier Piccadilly, CT0092O? These Cartier glasses perfectly reproduce the monogram of the brand. This mythical monogram has a long history behind it. Indeed, it was created in 1900 by Pierre Cartier, the grandson of the founder of the brand. It is represented by two intertwined Cs with a serif font. This monogram is sometimes surrounded by a vertical oval shape. Unlike other houses, (such as Saint Laurent) who have already redesigned their logo, the Cartier logo has never been modified or modernized. It has remained unchanged for over 120 years.

Specifically, this model without a ring with rectangular lenses is entirely made of metal (gold or silver) and has C-shaped studs, reminiscent of the famous monogram. It is called the "C-Decor". This model has been and still is a great success, so much so that it is one of the best sellers of the brand.
The famous Cartier panther glasses

In the same trend, who does not know the famous panther of Cartier? It is the jeweler's favorite animal and also one of the most popular emblems of the brand. It can be found on bracelets, rings and there is even a Cartier perfume named after the panther. This same panther is also present in the Core Range line. It is the model CT0058O. These pierced Cartier glasses have a panther in profile, carved on the temples. This panther has a leaping look, which gives a dynamic and realistic effect.
The timeless Santos de Cartier

Finally, the third and last eyewear model that stands out within this line is a pair of Cartier sunglasses, the Cartier Santos CT0034S. This aviator model is so named because it refers to the mythical and timeless watch of the same name. Indeed, we first find the famous screws present on the dial of the watch. Then, on the bridge, there is a piece of calf leather decorated with a screw, which also recalls the leather strap of the watch or the case in which the jewelry is presented. Although all the colors of the models are harmonious, our preference goes to the color 002. This one has the particularity of using the same colors as the brand with its red leather and gold screws.

For the anecdote, the Santos de Cartier watch was made in 1904 by Louis Cartier for Alberto Santos-Dumont, a Brazilian, who was simply ... aviator! Making aviator-type glasses that bear the name of an aviator: we can say that the circle is complete!
The Cartier Contemporary collection, the era of modernity

This line of Cartier glasses simply takes typical shapes or codes of the brand and revisits them in a way that brings a touch of modernity. You can find panthers, buckles and other geometric shapes with reliefs. These Cartier glasses will suit people who want to adopt luxury glasses but not traditional, more in the air of time. This is for example the case of Cartier men's glasses, CT0012S. They have the C design, but with a more contemporary and geometric look.
Exception - The Cartier eyewear line with noble materials


We begin to enter into unique models, models ... of exception. Indeed, the collection of glasses Cartier Exception includes all models made with noble materials. We find rare woods, as on the Cartier CT0052O, a model very popular with collectors. Each temple has ten layers of wood to make the frame as strong as possible. Aside from the wood, the collection includes Cartier glasses made of Asian buffalo horn. The most popular is the CT0046S, a sunglass with horn temples, available in four horn colors, with gold or silver finishes.
The best for last with the Precious line

Of course, it would have been impossible for Cartier to propose a collection of glasses without offering solid gold glasses. Whether it's white gold, yellow gold or even rose gold, these models feature nothing but gold. We find in this line all the DNA of the brand: pure and authentic forms, high quality materials, a unique know-how and of course codes and emblems dear to the brand. The CT0070O model perfectly illustrates this idea. This model is also called the Louis Cartier model, in homage to one of the greatest figures of the company. It is made of solid 18-carat gold and pierced glass. The decoration of the lugs, sober but graphically bold, is an integral part of the Cartier heritage. It is the height of luxury, but with lightness and delicacy.
