Cartier Sunglasses with Gold Cross Detailing Quality Control Report
This inspection covers a pair of Cartier-inspired sunglasses featuring gold cross detailing on the temples. The item was sourced from a Weidian seller and represents a mid-tier replica. Overall construction is solid, but several notable flaws require attention before purchase.
Materials and Build Quality
The frame is constructed from acetate with a matte black finish. Weight and density feel appropriate for this style. Hinges operate smoothly with adequate tension, though there's slight play in the left temple hinge. Lenses are polycarbonate with a gradient tint, showing no visible scratches or bubbles under inspection.
Design and Detailing
The gold cross detailing shows moderate craftsmanship:
- Cross shape is accurate to authentic Cartier designs
- Gold plating has minor inconsistencies in thickness
- Right temple cross shows slight misalignment (approximately 1mm off-center)
- Engraving on inner temple is shallow but legible
Bridge and nose pads are properly proportioned with comfortable silicone padding. Temple tips feature the correct curvature for secure fit.
Flaws and Considerations
Primary issues identified:
- Left lens has a faint manufacturing mark near the edge (visible in direct light)
- Gold plating on cross detailing shows early signs of wear at contact points
- Case and cleaning cloth included are generic quality, not Cartier-branded
- UV protection rating is unverified (seller claims 100% UV protection)
For the price point, these represent typical replica limitations. The visual flaws are minor and unlikely to be noticeable in normal wear.
