Cartier Honors $14 Price for $14K Earrings After Pricing Error

Rogelio Villarreal from Mexico successfully purchased luxury Cartier earrings due to a pricing mistake, sparking a legal and public relations ordeal.

Rogelio Villarreal bought two pairs of Cartier diamond earrings valued at $14,000 each for just $14 per pair after a pricing error on Cartier's website.
Despite attempts to cancel the sale, Cartier honored the price following a consumer protection claim by Villarreal in Mexico.
Villarreal utilized federal consumer protection laws in Mexico, leading to arbitration by the Office of the Federal Prosecutor for the Consumer (PROFECO).
The incident gained significant attention online, with opinions divided on Villarreal's advantage of the pricing error.
Cartier's initial attempts to resolve the situation included offering Villarreal gifts such as champagne and leather goods, which he declined.
