#JOTW I think that my Cartier charm bracelet is finally complete

This bracelet started unintentionally about 10 years ago when I found a vintage Cartier paper clip bracelet at an antique show. It is from the 70s or 80s and the serial number and Cartier signature are just faintly visible. I loved it immediately, especially because it reminded me of the advertisements in Town and Country, which I used to look forward to every month for the jewelry ads. A few years later, I found a white gold charm bracelet on EBay that had 6 charms, one of them being the yellow gold panther. I bought that bracelet, kept the panther, and resold the rest on EBay. Then I slowly started collecting charms that I liked. They are the Trinity ring, puffy heart, panther, Love ring, and double C.
My final one was the double C. It just feels complete now.

* but I do reserve the right to change my mind and add more. ;)2

Gorgeous! Do you wear it often? How do you protect it, or is it seriously robust?

Very beautiful! The bracelet itself is gorgeous even without the charms! But the charms are iconic Cartier pieces, so you chose very well!

Thanks, Alex T. Now that it’s finished, I have been wearing it more. I’m not worried about the charms because they are all a link apart. I’m a little worried about the diamonds in the links, but they can always be replaced. I’d rather enjoy it than not wear it because I’m afraid of ruining it.

Just amazing, @iluvcarats! But typical of you, your collection being the thing of beauty that it is!

I've never seen an all-Cartier charm bracelet before - how incredible! And what a piece to own! It's like looking at true design history.

Congratulations - it's stunning.
