A magnificent relic of French artistry, this Cartier Belle Époque diamond bracelet, circa 1915, captures the poetic grace and technical mastery that defined one of the most romantic eras in jewelry history. Handcrafted in platinum, the bracelet features 389 Old European cut diamonds, totaling approximately 40.55 carats, set into a garland of openwork lace-like links.
Each section is delicately adorned with millegrain edging and whimsical floral motifs, creating a soft, shimmering texture that wraps elegantly around the wrist. The diamonds—graded G–H in color and VS–SI in clarity—are set to maximize the play of light with every movement, offering both antique sparkle and graceful sophistication.
At 7 1/16 inches in length and 1 inch in width, the bracelet sits fluidly on the wrist, closing with a seamlessly integrated hidden clasp. It is a timeless testament to the House of Cartier’s signature style, attention to detail, and enduring legacy.
