This cherry blossom bracelet is one of the prettiest things I have ever seen. Art Deco era Cartier, circa 1925. It’s a diamond strap bracelet with a really lovely design of gem-set cherry blossom branches and flowers.
Isn’t it marvelous? As a DC native, cherry blossoms have a special place in my heart, and I think this is a spectacularly lovely interpretation of them. I think the blossoms make a perfect contrast to the clean Art Deco lines of the bracelet’s thick rectangular plates. I actually have a tattoo that would match this quite nicely.
This picture is from Hancocks, where the cherry blossom bracelet was listed for sale, but the it is no longer on their website.
I assume it was sold to some very fortunate person. Sadly for us, the fact that it’s no longer on their website means I don’t have a whole lot of information to give you. For example, the design looks like rubies, emeralds, and onyx, but I don’t know that for sure. It’s still wonderful to admire, even if we don’t know as much information as we might like.

Ye bracelet me apni girlfriend ko dunga
This Art Deco Cartier cherry blossom bracelet is an absolute marvel! The intricate design of gem-set cherry blossom branches and flowers on a diamond strap is simply breathtaking. As a fellow DC native, I can’t help but appreciate the special connection to cherry blossoms, and this interpretation is truly spectacular. The contrast between the delicate blossoms and the clean Art Deco lines of the thick rectangular plates is both striking and elegant. It’s unfortunate that the bracelet is no longer listed on Hancocks’ website, leaving us with some mysteries about the gemstones used, but the beauty of the piece still shines through. The thought of a matching tattoo adds a personal touch and makes it even more special. Thanks for sharing this exquisite piece from the Art Deco era – a timeless beauty that leaves a lasting impression!
This bracelet was sold in the late 1980’s – it had been shortened by 1 link resulting in an interruption of the pattern- it was one of the links second from the clasp- can’t remember which end
This bracelet is privately owned and is on display at the Denver Art Museum at the Cartier “Brilliant” Exhibit.
Oh my goodness. Now I want to see the exhibit even MORE badly.
