Cartier Bracelets

Cartier is one of the most revered jewelers in the world, and among its most popular offerings are bracelets. Cartier tennis bracelets, the Cartier Love bracelet and other types of Cartier bracelets are widely coveted by clients both existing and aspirational. 

Bracelets add polish and pizzazz to any ensemble. But some internationally acclaimed bracelet designs have also on occasion become powerful symbols of status, style and, in the case of Cartier's iconic design, love

Designed in 1969 by Aldo Cipullo — who also created the Juste un Clou, originally known as the Cartier Nail bracelet — the Love bracelet can be found on the wish list of most jewelry lovers and on the wrist of some of the world’s biggest stars. The instantly recognizable bangle — a minimalist band of polished gold dotted with faux screw-heads and fastened with two screws — has been a must-have piece for countless style luminaries since it debuted. (Do you know how to spot a fake Cartier Love bracelet?)

While the Love bracelet has played a role in the skyrocketing popularity of cuff-style bracelets, they are far from the only option for collectors of Cartier bracelets. 

Cartier helped define Art Deco — the house’s gem-set bracelets and other jewelry and objects in the Art Deco era, most notably characterized by geometric formations and exotic motifs, comprise some of the most iconic jewelry creations of the period. Wide platinum bracelets, as flexible as ribbons, were the perfect platform for showcasing the house’s newfound love of rectilinear concepts, with small stones arranged in immaculate grids that were bordered in, or interspersed with, materials like onyx and coral

Cartier’s Tutti Frutti bracelets, which are marked by a lush profusion of carved ruby and sapphire berries and blossoms amid emerald leaves offset by bright white diamonds, do not adhere to the clean-lined tenets of classic Art Deco jewelry design. Cartier debuted the first Tutti Frutti creation in 1925, and bracelets were a popular way to wear the motif. 

The Trinity bracelet, designed at the same time, was alternatively understated in its dearth of embellishments when it was introduced, and the collection offered an alternative to the Art Deco decadence that was then so pervasive in jewelry, including in collections such as the aforementioned Tutti Frutti.

Elsewhere, there was the panthère motif. The original Panthère de Cartier bracelet is more like a sculpture for the wrist than a piece of jewelry. It features a diamond-and-onyx-encrusted panther with marquise-cut emerald eyes positioned as if they were fixated on prey.

Questions About Cartier Bracelets
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022

    One of the reasons Cartier is so expensive is because, since its inception in 1847, the brand has had a massive celebrity fan base that spans royals, movie stars, singers and socialites. The brand also uses the highest quality metals and gems in their pieces, rendering them expensive to produce. Lastly, most Cartier pieces are easy to identify, making brand recognition a key factor in the brand's exclusivity.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2024
    There are a few reasons why Cartier is so popular. For one thing, the French luxury house is known for its very long history of unparalleled prestige and quality craftsmanship. Cartier has been producing extraordinary jewelry, watches and accessories since 1847. While jewelry lovers have long been enthusiastic about Cartier’s elegant and streamlined designs for bracelets, rings, necklaces and other pieces, the brand is also known for innovation. It pioneered the use of platinum in fine jewelry, and its artisans were so mindful of trends in fashion that the house became the official jewelry supplier to King Edward VII. Later, Cartier’s Art Deco-era pieces would help define the movement with which they are associated. One of the brand’s earliest major successes was the Santos de Cartier watch, one of the world's first modern wristwatches for men. Today’s influencers continue to help popularize the brand, increasing the demand for certain pieces like Cartier buffalo horn sunglasses and the Cartier Love bracelet, an icon of modernist jewelry.

    The Cartier logo is a pair of interlocking Cs. However, many people associate the panther with the French luxury jewelry maker more than its actual logo. Louis Cartier incorporated the feline figure into its design lexicon. In 1914, Cartier hired illustrator George Barbier to design advertisements for the jewelry house. Barbier drafted a drawing that featured a glamorous woman with an elegant panther at her feet, and Cartier loved it. He had an additional connection to the panther in the form of his alleged romantic interest, fellow Cartier designer Jeanne Toussaint, who adored the animal so much that she decorated her apartment with furs and donned a coat of panther fur. Cartier gave her the long-lasting nickname Panthère. Since then, Cartier has offered watches, bracelets, necklaces, brooches and earrings inspired by the panther. Find a diverse assortment of Cartier jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021

  • 1stDibs ExpertJanuary 10, 2025
    Cartier is special for at least a few reasons. The French luxury brand is one of the most well-known and internationally revered jewelers in the world.

    Cartier has helped create style trends over the course of its long history, including playing a prominent role in defining Art Deco jewelry. The brand designed one of the first modern wristwatches for men — the Santos de Cartier — and its Panthère motif and Love bracelet are universally renowned among lovers of fine jewelry.

    Additionally, it should come as no surprise that Cartier engagement rings are among the most desirable on the jewelry market for those hoping to be betrothed. The house, founded in 1847 by Louis-François Cartier, pioneered the use of platinum in fine jewelry in the late 1800s, identifying the strong, lustrous metal as ideal for bringing out the true qualities of diamonds.

Another of Cartier’s famous timepieces is the Tank watch, which was inspired by the linear form of military tanks during World War I. On 1stDibs, find a wide variety of Cartier watches.

    Cartier jewelry is made of a variety of carefully selected materials. For metals, the French luxury jewelry maker typically uses platinum or 18-karat yellow, white or rose gold. With respect to the color of its diamonds, Cartier selects diamonds from classes D through H to ensure that the gemstones are colorless and have little or no fluorescence. Some pieces feature genuine leather, Akoya pearls and other fine materials. On 1stDibs, explore a wide range of Cartier jewelry.
