Agrafe de Cartier is a collection of luxury jewelry whose central element is a corset clasp. Pre-owned Cartier Agrafe necklaces and bracelets usually have a hook clasp with the eyelet of the corset. There are also several necklace models featuring the hook as a Cartier pendant.
The earrings are frequently pendants or sleepers and an Agrafe Cartier ring is quite commonly presented in 18 K yellow gold. Cartier also created cufflinks for its Agrafe collection. Featuring brilliant diamonds, this sublime collection has multiple variations: white gold, paved with diamonds, or pink/diamonds, or gray, diamonds and onyx… Yellow gold, however, is the most common occurrence.
The history of the corset is very old. However, it became the famous underwear that we know during the second half of the 19th century. This lingerie with its characteristic fasteners which inspired the Agrafe de Cartier collection experienced a resurgence in popularity in the 1950s.
And then it faded away, before becoming trendy again in the 1990s/2000, in part thanks to designers like Jean-Paul Gaultier. It was at this moment, when lingerie inspired ready-to-wear collections, that Cartier created the Agrafe collection. It quickly became the embodiment of Parisian elegance.
Set with diamonds, second-hand Agrafe bracelets and necklaces are sublime, sparkling jewelry. But among their variations, they can sometimes surprise us, like the black and white line, the Agrafe pearl necklaces, the fishnet line or the cuff bracelets.
Most often, Cartier Agrafe is a sparkling luxurious collection, at the height of Parisian chic, which is characterized above all by its quality, whether it is fashion or jewelry. In addition, the style is modern, but Agrafe jewelry is like a great Cartier classic.
