The geometry of the Cartier Juste un Clou ring
Designed in New York in the 1970s by Aldo Cipullo, this piece reimagines a raw, utilitarian object to create a structured silhouette. Cartier’s Juste un Clou model embraces a bold industrial aesthetic, breaking free from traditional conventions. Forged in 18-carat yellow gold, reference B4092600 stands out for its minimalism. The absence of gem-setting on this pre-owned piece draws attention to the purity of the metal.
Architecture and jewellery craftsmanship
The asymmetrical twist of the material demands precise technical rigour to ensure a consistent visual balance around the finger. The yellow gold setting features a surface that is entirely mirror-polished. The line runs uninterrupted from the flat head of the stud to its tapered tip, punctuated by five distinct transverse grooves.
