CARTIER 18K YELLOW, WHITE GOLD AND DIAMOND MARINE LINK SHORT COLLAR c.1970s

Cartier 18 Karat and DiamondMarine Link  Short Collar c.1970s. 

Arguably the most renowned jeweler in the world, Cartier is the name everyone drops when the conversation turns to luxury. Whether it’s Marilyn Monroe shouting it during her rousing rendition of “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend”, Richard Burton publicly dropping a record-setting bid on a diamond ring for Elizabeth Taylor, or Cardi B reworking it into a nickname for herself in the chorus of her hit song “Bartier Cardi”, it is instantly recognized across generations as THE iconic luxury brand. This brilliant necklace stands as a timeless piece of evidence of the brand’s everlasting prestige. 18-karat gold marine links — so named for their resemblance to the chains that serve to anchor enormous nautical vessels — connect to form a striking pair of chains met in the middle by an enlarged link encrusted with a full carat of round cut diamonds. At once glittering and heavy, glamorous and tough, this piece is a choice addition to the collection of any sophisticated renegade.
