A shopper secured the deal of a lifetime when a typo on Cartier's website priced a pair of gold-and-diamond earrings at just $13.
Rogelio Villarreal, 27, from Mexico, came across the luxury jewelry brand when an Instagram ad popped up while he was scrolling the app.
The surgery resident from the northern state of Tamaulipa said could not believe the prices of the items, ranging from necklaces to watches to handbags, each costing thousands of dollars.
But Villarreal noticed 18-carat studded rose-gold cuffs lined with diamonds priced at just 237 Mexican pesos, or about $13 - well below the average price of the brand's goods.
'I was amazed to see how much the necklaces cost and so on and I said: 'Someday,' until I saw the earrings,' Villarreal wrote in a post on X. 'I swear I broke out in a cold sweat.'
