Cartier ‘Baiser du Dragon’ Necklace in 18K

Playing on the posh past of luxury designer Cartier, this Baiser du Dragon necklace is haute — with a history. Crafted in pallid white gold, this sleekly angular style recreates the oriental-inspired designs in rich red and inky black of the jewelry house’s brilliant Art Deco past. A central pendant in polished white gold features a dangling, gemset motif of bufftop rubies and onyx framed by gleaming diamonds. A festive fringe of onyx and ruby beads is suspended below the pendant and a smooth necklace of cylindrical onyx alternating with ruby beads finishes the design.
