The distinctive clasp of the Cartier Agrafe bracelet
Cartier’s Agrafe collection draws inspiration from Parisian haute couture ateliers, reinterpreting traditional corset fastenings. In this pre-owned bracelet, this functional mechanism becomes a distinctive, minimalist aesthetic signature. Crafted from 750 rose gold, this piece, reference CRB6046816, is distinguished by a central clasp set with nearly 0.50 carats of brilliant-cut diamonds. The colour of the alloy contrasts with the brilliance of the gemstones.
Architecture and jewellery craftsmanship
The setting rests on an épée-link chain, ensuring balanced density and a fluid drape on the wrist. The clasp incorporates the main motif, consisting of a hinged hook and a circular loop. These two asymmetrical elements feature 40 diamonds secured by a grain-set arrangement. The absence of any superfluous gaps and the full mirror polish highlight the precision of the craftsmanship.
