Rogelio Villarreal Jasso, a Mexican, snagged a pair of luxury Cartier diamond earrings for a mere $13 due to a website error, despite their regular price of $13,000 for the Clash model. The jewelry store attempted to cancel the sale, reports Business Insider.
In December last year, Rogelio noticed an ad on Instagram for Cartier gold diamond earrings priced at 232 pesos, approximately $13, and quickly decided to order two pairs.
A few days later, the company contacted him to inform that they would cancel his order due to a misstated online price. As compensation, they offered him champagne and a card holder, but the Mexican declined and insisted on the fulfillment of his order.
He appealed to the authorities, citing local consumer protection laws. Ultimately, Cartier resolved the issue by sending the order, and the satisfied customer later showed off the luxury packaging with the iconic red seal on the social network X.
Rogelio is thrilled with his find and told the media that he plans to keep one pair for himself and give the other to his mother.
