  This sapphire and diamond bracelet is a rare and beautiful jeweled example by Cartier. The evolving form signifies a departure from the delicate monochomatic characteristics of the belle époque to the linear, bold and colorful palettes of art deco; it also employs the signature elements found in the brilliant and innovative creations of designer Charles Jacqueau. The articulated loop clasp served as a decorative and functional element which was incorporated into several important pieces, including carved gem-set sautoirs and a bracelet belonging to Daisy Fellowes. The Renault, Lavabre and Picq workshops executed many of these leading designs because of their technical excellence. Following Jacqueau's design orders, "surtout très léger", these creations were "above all very light".
