Tutti Frutti Bracelet Paris, 1927 Notes Fine examples of true "Tutti Frutti" jewels such as this one and lot 404 are rare. The elegant proportions, balance, intricate workmanship, and attention to subtle detail set these period Cartier jewels apart. In addition to being a superb example of this Cartier genre, the rarity and desirability of this bracelet among collectors is further enhanced by other unique characteristics. Firstly, according to Cartier, "the vine or tree-of-life motif... as in this bracelet, are considered the rarest and most elegant pieces of the Tutti Frutti style". Moreover, this piece is one of only a handful of Cartier tutti frutti bracelets of this width; most are considerably narrower. Equally noteworthy, this is the only such bracelet known to be in existence that features large star sapphire cabochons. Combined with colored gems cut in a variety of styles - round and French-eut diamonds, stepped-cut sapphires and emeralds, carved rubies and sapphires - the star sapphires provide a distinctive colour theme and a contrast that gives unusual depth to the entire piece. Su ch subtle details are the hallmark of the finest pieces created by the house of Cartier.
