On the East Coast and West Coast, people wear chains to symbolize their status and success, while the Dirty South embraces “grillz” culture. However, here in the Midwest, particularly in Detroit, Cartier frames go beyond being a simple status symbol; they encapsulate the spirit of Detroit culture and represent a way of life.
These frames are regarded as a badge of honor and respect, parallel to the pair Michigan Governor Whitmer received for the way she represented Michigan during the pandemic. Propelled into popularity by local celebrities and city icons, Cartier frames effortlessly speak to someone’s style and status when they enter a room.
For over three decades, the Paris-based brand has consistently stood as a cornerstone of Detroit’s fashion and cultural identity. Regardless of the moniker you use, whether it’s Cartier, Buffs, ‘Ye’s, or Sticks, we all share a common goal – to eventually acquire a pair. And now, an opportunity has presented itself for Detroiters to seize.
Celebrating 40 years, Cartier has displayed profound affection for Detroit through exclusive parties, special gifts to notable Detroiters, and now, a unique opportunity for Detroit residents to acquire limited edition anniversary frames before the year’s end.
In partnership with MJ Diamonds, a distinguished jeweler in Detroit established in 1976, Cartier has unveiled an exclusive campaign featuring the prominent Detroit socialite and influencer Kolby Harris. Renowned for her Detroit fly girl persona and her role on the OWN Network’s reality sensation Love & Marriage Detroit, Harris has deep-rooted connections with MJ Diamonds, spanning three generations. Expressing her gratitude, Harris states that she feels honored to have been chosen for this exceptional opportunity.
“This is big Detroit energy 1000%,” said Harris. “Cartier is such a classic, timeless piece.”
Only 1,500 pairs of the 40th-anniversary frames were crafted, with a mere 300 allocated to the US. Cartier’s meticulous selection process for the frames reflects the brand’s discerning nature, with MJ Diamonds earning the privilege to carry a portion of this exclusive collection.
MJ Diamonds, Michigan’s largest Cartier frames retailer, was a natural choice as an authorized dealer for the 40-year anniversary frames campaign. Kolby Harris attests to the community-focused nature of MJ Diamonds, describing it as not just a jewelry retailer but a holistic brand actively engaged in community service.
Harris stated, “MJ is just really that place. All my daughter’s earrings have come from here. All my family’s jewelry has come from here. But beyond just shopping here, MJ Diamonds is out in the community, they’re very active, and they give back. They’re such a holistic brand, servicing not just customers with jewelry, but they are serving in the community as well. I have so many positive things to say about them. That’s why I said ‘Of course MJ! Whatever you want.’”
MJ Diamonds has made community outreach and giving back a fundamental part of its identity, with a focus on health, wellness, and support for the local community. Harris, fostering a personal relationship with MJ Diamonds, aspires to become a jeweler, inspired by their commitment to both customers and the community.
The anniversary trio pack offers three distinct frames: the “Panther” adorned with the signature Cartier panther on the arms; the “Premiere” frames boasting a sleek and clean design; and the “Signature” frames exuding a bold and bossy Detroit appearance, featuring the iconic Cs on the arms.
For Detroit residents eager to secure a pair of these exclusive frames, the opportunity is now open. MJ Diamonds and Kolby Harris urge interested individuals to enter the selection process by following @mjdiamonds on Instagram and sending their names via the platform messenger before December 28th. Winners will be notified and invited to MJ Diamonds’ showroom for payment and pickup, offering various payment options for their convenience.
The partnership among Cartier, MJ Diamonds, and Kolby Harris not only marks 40 years of enduring luxury but also underscores the distinctive cultural importance Cartier frames carry within Detroit and the significant influence the city has on the brand.
