Denver Art Museum, Denver, Colorado: Brilliant: Cartier in the 20th Century, November 16, 2014-March 15, 2015.

Cartier in the 20th Century, Margaret Young-Sánchez et. al., page 205, figure 222.

All pieces in very good condition overall, especially considering the piece's age. Throughout, there is scratching to the gold spheres from the spheres rubbing against one another and this is mainly concentrated to those areas where they touch. There is slight wear to the lapis as well at the facet junctions and tips, displaying a few examples of small chips, commensurate with wear. The diamonds are approximately F-G color, VVS-VS clarity. The sugarloaf lapis lazuli cabochons range from an opaque bright blue to cobalt blue, with some exhibiting small flecks of pyrite. BRACELET: A few spheres' anchoring rings have become slightly open and it could be easily fixed by a jeweler. The tubogas-style band allows for movement and ease of wear. With French assay mark. Numbered 04389 not "HSA 04389" as written in the printed catalogue. BROOCH: Dimensions approximately 1 3/4 by 1 3/4 inches. RING: Very slight discoloration to the gold inside the shank, not visible when worn. EARCLIPS: Length approximately 1 3/8 inches, and further secured with screw-backs.

Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity from Cartier stating that the bracelet is 'Cartier Paris, 1937.'

The world of high jewelry experienced a seismic shift in the second half of the 1930s. Flattened jewels laid out in precise symmetry faded into the background allowing dramatic works in yellow gold to emerge full of life, inspired by the organic and fantastical. In some cases, these jewels derived their energy most literally from the wearer, changing with every move to announce one’s arrival with a subtle tintinnabulation.

Cartier has always been ahead of the curve. The bracelet’s early appearance of a gas pipe band lends a suppleness that sharply diverges from the stolid geometry of the 1920s while ebullient clusters prefigure the dynamism of the Retro period. The berry-like quality of the beads is emphasized by crisply contoured lapis lazuli and diamonds, lending the suite an almost punk aesthetic, while the articulated settings anticipate the kinetic movement of 1970s. It is a rare grouping of objects, the cut and combination of materials not known to exist in any other suite dating to this period. More importantly, however, is the suite’s jeweled synesthesia that provides endless enjoyment to the owner.
