Cartier Gold and Diamond Leaf Necklace

$125,000

This Cartier necklace, in gold and diamonds, explores the interplay of light with textured, canted, and layered surfaces with a full set of hanging leaves that elegantly drape as fringe across the collarbone. Finely articulated, the ridged, gleaming gold leaves overlap and alternate with radiant diamond fronds, creating a light and graceful jewel to adorn and beautify the neck.
