Cartier orchid bracelet.

You don’t need me to tell you that this Cartier orchid bracelet is fabulous.

This bracelet, which features an explosive orchid set with white gold, pink and purple sapphires, brilliant-cut diamonds, comes from the Cartier Sortilège collection. It’s a little chunkier overall than what I usually go for – I have small hands, and I think larger pieces often look silly on my wrist. But that orchid is to-die-for.

How would you style this Cartier orchid bracelet? I’m picturing it as the main accessory to a simple but brightly colored cocktail dress – maybe paired with diamond or sapphire studs or simple line earrings. What do you think?

I’ve shown you a couple of other pieces from that collection already, two bracelets and a ring shaped like an orchid. They’re all fabulous. This one’s more in line with the orchid ring than the other pieces, which are more restrained.
