An elegant Cartier bracelet from the Paris Nouvelle Vague collection, crafted in 18k gold. Five strands of polished gold beads run the length of the wrist, gathering at the front into a dimensional cluster that drops into a tassel. Several of those spheres are set with round brilliant-cut diamonds, flush-set so the sparkle sits level with the beads. The strands are strung on hidden rods that let the bracelet move and flex with the wrist, so the gold catches light from every angle.
The Cartier Paris Nouvelle Vague collection is a poetic tribute to the spirit, architecture, and attitude of the Parisian woman. First introduced in 1999 and reimagined in 2013, the collection explores the relationship between jewelry design and the urban landscape of Paris, this bracelet's bead-and-tassel form belongs to the "Sparkling" chapter, meant to mimic fireworks over the city. The clasp is stamped © Cartier, size 17, serial number, and Au 750, with the French eagle's head assay hallmark confirming 18k gold. It closes with a concealed box clasp and a hinged safety catch, and the interior is reinforced with hidden bars that keep the bead rows aligned.
Because Paris Nouvelle Vague was produced in limited design runs across its thematic chapters, it remains highly sought after by estate jewelry collectors and holds its value well on the secondary market. If you're looking for a Cartier gold bracelet with real movement, texture, and diamond detail, this piece is a collectible example of the house's more playful design era.
Measures approximately 6 3/4" (stamped size 17) and weighs 41.5 grams.
The bracelet comes with its original Cartier velvet pouch.
