This is a Pair of bracelets. It is dated 1930. Its medium is diamonds, platinum.

Gloria Swanson, one of the highest paid actresses in the late 1920s and early 1930s, wore these Cartier bracelets, designed in 1930, both onstage and off as a key element of her glamorous look.

Here we have a diamond-studded bracelet. The braclet is comprised of two rectangle-like faces, two oval links and three band hinges. Every shape and every surface of the bracelet is affixed with diamond, making it heavily studded and dense with shine and intricate details. The rectangles are the largest components on the bracelet: they have rounded corners, varying set heights, and varying cut shapes for studs to frame and emphasize the promient circular diamond in the shape's middle. On either side of the rectangles are three rows of diamonds that create attaching and hinging bands. Their surfaces are also diamond-studded and connect the central oval in between the squares and the outer oval clasp. Both ovular links have three subtle curving edges on the interior, and the end side oval has a bar on its long edge for the opposite band clasp to attach to.

This diamond studded tiara is shaped in a symmetrical band, with two parallel rows of diamonds affixed to a thin platinum base. Repeating geometric patterns nestle between the rows of square diamond studs. An alternating pattern of rectangles with tiered sides and pointed ovals with triangles share a central row of squared diamonds as well as the outer bands. The square is turned on its corners, and it has three tiers of steps on each of its four sides. The other alternating shape, an oval with two points, has a triangle and square formation on either end, reminiscent of an arrow pointing toward the center of the oval. The bandeau's central decoration is a pearl affixed to the center of a tiered square. Above the top band, two tear-shaped stones learn into each other, their points meeting. The repeated square and pointed oval alternates around the band until the back, where a simple clasp joins the two ends.
