The name Cartier is synonymous with first-class jewellery from a world of luxury and beauty. This is especially true when it comes to fine diamond jewellery from the Belle Époque, as Cartier played a pivotal role in shaping the “Garland Style” so characteristic of that era. As early as 1890, Louis Cartier had championed the use of platinum in jewelry before anyone else, thereby laying the foundation for the dazzling white appearance of early 20th-century jewels. Exquisite blossoms and flowing garlands of diamonds, sparkling milgrains, and intricate saw-cut designs lend this platinum jewelry its ethereal beauty. This delicate necklace, too, hails from this era of the House of Cartier—a time that shone both literally and figuratively. Exquisitely delicate strands of diamonds in flexible settings nestle against small diamond blossoms, with a total of five elongated panels featuring elegant floral and vine motifs in between. The necklace was likely originally part of an even larger necklace consisting of several delicate chains. Its construction offers several clues to this: The central panel features a hook on the back for attaching another element—it can also be unhooked from the two diamond clusters. The central panel and the two outer panels also feature screw mechanisms into which pendent stones may have once been attached. To give this elegant necklace even more ways to be worn today, we drew inspiration from the necklace’s era of origin and the heyday of the House of Cartier: Two new hooks, crafted in our workshop, can be clipped into the existing clasps and are easy to remove without compromising the integrity of the necklace. Thanks to these hooks, however, the necklace can now also be worn as a bandeau or headband—just as was fashionable from around 1910 through the 1920s. The hooks allow you to thread either a delicate ribbon or a hairpin through each one. This beautiful piece of jewellery came to us from Vienna.
