Tightwad Tuesday: Cartier Panthere De Cartier Ring for Less

My loves, to the left we have Cartier’s purrrr-fect Panthere De Cartier Ring, the very same one seen gracing the pretty paws of Rachel Zoe, Twilight’s Kristen Stewart, Lady Gaga, Leighton Meester, Rihanna, Olivia Wilde, and many more of your favorite fashionistas; to the right feast your eyes upon Shock Boutique’s perfect Panther Ring.

While the Shock Boutique stunner lacks some of the exquisite detailing seen upon its haute couture counterpart; for a mere $30, as opposed to the $20,300.00 needed to take the original home, it is every bit as capable of adding a fierce touch to your accessory collection – at a price that will leave your life savings intact!

Are you having a tightwad moment darlings, or are you plagued with a craving to splurge?


Fashionably yours!


Thanks to Cartier and Shock Boutique for the pictures.

  4. I need to make more money, like seriously. The Cartier one is beautiful but that's more than my mortgage payment for a whole year. Yikes!! I'll go with the cheaper one!

  16. If I am getting something Cartier it's going to have so many diamonds on it I will have lost count. $30 is definitely doable. It would look great with a LBD.

  17. Definitely the right piece to make a simple outfit shine. I actually like the expression on the Shock Boutique, so I'd go that route.

    ReplyDelete
  18. I woud love to own a Cartier piece, though I'll pass on the Panther. I prefer diamonds anyway ;o)

  19. Wowza! Love the Cartier one but I'd rather buy a car than a ring :D haha!

  20. such a very cool ring. but I don't wear them much..I'd definitely go for the cheaper one. I'm glad you posted about it.

    ReplyDelete
  21. I'm poor, the shock boutique it's for me;x

    ReplyDelete
  22. I think if one wants to go with something of this feel, the Cartier has a better look. It's not exactly my thing, but I could totally see someone in a leopard print trench coat and red heels rocking this ring.

  30. Cool look--sadly, though, $30 is still too much for a trendy ring like that to me.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Amazing find! Although, it would be lovely to be able to afford the Cartier.

    ReplyDelete
  32. What a fabulous match! Love it, my dear.

  33. Cartier, no doubt, even though a girl's best friend is always Tiffany's.

    ReplyDelete
  34. I so love the Cartier but I could never do it...It's gorge!

    ReplyDelete
  35. I think the cheapie version is juuuuuust fine in this situation!

    ReplyDelete
  36. Although I could never actually spend that kind of money on a ring, I'll play make believe and splurge!

    ReplyDelete
  37. What? That Cartier ring is 20k? That ring is 20k?! Okay no that won't do. I would rather buy a house with my 20k... thanks

    ReplyDelete

  44. both are hot but i could not spend $20k on one ring....so i'll go with the less expensive one.

  45. Oh my! Over $20k?! That's just crazy! I'd definitely snag the Shock Boutique ring though. He's still one fierce panther!

    ReplyDelete
