This vintage Cartier necklace embodies the refined minimalism and crisp geometry that defined the house’s late-1970s to 1980s design language. Crafted in 18k yellow gold, the piece features an elongated flat-link chain punctuated at center by a bezel-set emerald flanked by two round brilliant diamonds. The composition is understated yet intentional, a hallmark of Cartier’s move toward streamlined luxury during this period.
The necklace measures 16 1/4 inches in length and 1/4 inch in width, offering a balanced scale that sits gracefully along the collarbone. Its substantial weight of 35.7 grams underscores Cartier’s commitment to precious metal craftsmanship, while the double-safety clasp ensures secure wear. The piece is stamped Cartier, 18k, and bears its original serial number.
