This here thing, the Cartier Love Necklace, I heard folks on that there purseforum talking ’bout it. They say it’s some fancy thing, cost more than my old cow Bessie. But what’s all the fuss about, I wonder? They make such a big deal, like it’s made of pure gold or somethin’.
Some folks, they say it’s worth it. They talk about this “investment” thing. Sounds like city folk talk to me. Back in my day, we invested in good seeds and strong fences, not shiny things to hang ’round your neck. But these young’uns, they say this Cartier stuff holds its value. Like gold, they say. Don’t see why they need gold ’round their necks, but what do I know?
Now, I seen pictures of this Love Necklace. Looks like two little hoops all tangled up. They say it’s got these screws on it. Like the ones we use on the barn door, only smaller, I reckon. And shiny, oh so shiny. And they talking about them as the “screw motif”. What a fancy word. It’s just a screw, ain’t it?
They say you can wear it all the time, even in the shower. Imagine that! Showering with your jewelry on. Back in my day, we took our jewelry off before we even thought about touching water. Kept it safe in a little box, lined with soft cloth. These new folks don’t care, I guess, wearin’ it in the shower. They say this Cartier Love Necklace is made for that kinda thing. But how they clean it? I wonder.
And the price! Lord have mercy, the price! More than I made in a whole year sellin’ eggs and milk. They say it is a big deal. They say this thing is a status, a symbol. A symbol of what? I do not know. All I know is, it’s a lot of money for a little bit of metal, even if it is gold.
They talk about this Cartier name like it’s magic. They say it’s got this special writing, this “logo” they call it. And a number, each one different. Like a brand on a cow, but fancier, I suppose. And they say you gotta watch out for fakes. Fakes! Imagine that, someone tryin’ to pass off a cheap trinket as a real Cartier. The nerve of some people!
Now, them young folks on that purseforum, they got all sorts of opinions on this here necklace. Some of ’em got the real thing, some of ’em just dreamin’. They talk about different kinds of Love Necklaces. Some with shiny rocks they call “diamonds”. Diamonds! Like the ones in them fancy rings. Imagine wearin’ that ’round your neck!
- Some folks say they want one to wear all the time.
- Some folks just want it for special occasions.
- Some folks say it’s too much money.
- Some folks say it’s worth every penny.
Me, I don’t know what to think. It’s a pretty thing, I suppose. But is it worth all that money? Is it worth more than a good milk cow or a strong fence? I just don’t know. I reckon it’s a matter of what you value, what you think is important. These city folks, they value different things than us simple country folks.
This Cartier Love Necklace, it’s a mystery to me. A shiny, expensive mystery. Maybe one day I’ll understand what all the fuss is about. But for now, I’ll stick to my simple jewelry. The ones that don’t cost a fortune and don’t need a special number to prove they’re real.
Now, if you young ones lookin’ for another fancy thing, I saw somethin’ called “Foundrae” on that computer screen. They say it’s for rebels, whatever that means. But it looked shiny, too. Maybe it is a good thing, maybe not. I don’t know much about it. But that purseforum has a lot of them rich folks, and they seem to know a lot about this Cartier Love Necklace. If you want to know about it, that forum is the place to go. Those folks know everythin’ about the necklace, even what kind of gold it uses. They say it is 18-carat gold. I don’t know what that means. But they say it is expensive. Very expensive. Just like what I heard, this brand called Cartier always uses expensive stuff to make their jewelry. That’s why they are so expensive.
And I heard that there is another thing called “Panthère”. Sounds like a wild animal. And it is. They say it is a panther, a big cat. And they say this panther thing is very popular. People love it. I don’t know why people like a big cat on their jewelry. But what do I know? I am just a simple woman. I don’t understand these fancy things. But I know this Cartier Love Necklace is a big deal. That much I know. That much I understand.
