About the Item

Figaro-Plaquette bracelet designed by L'Enfant for Cartier. This is a very rare and unusual bracelet created in Paris France by the jewelry house of Cartier, back in the 1970. This bracelet has been masterfully crafted at the Georges L'Enfant atelier in solid yellow gold of 18 karats with high polished finish. The bracelet design is composed by eleven iconic Figaro-links and embellished with twenty-two natural earth mined vivid blue sapphires. The bracelet is fitted with a concealed security lock, a figure eight slash and a safety chain. Georges L'Enfant The French master jeweler Georges L'Enfant was born into the world of French jewelry design, and following several apprenticeships and studies, he set up his own workshop in 1900. L'Enfant not only was a superb technical jeweler but he was a also a creative jewelry designer, putting him in high demand with the established houses such as Boucheron, Cartier, Mellerio Dits Meller and Van Cleef & Arpels. Georges was quite aware of his own need for posterity though so he established a maker’s mark in 1909, proceeding to stamp each piece before it left his workshop. L'Enfant son and collaborator, Jacques, later developed the L'Enfant signature chain pieces, fascinated as he was by how the interlocking links could be arranged into a myriad of patterns. The jewelry atelier of Georges L'Enfant, was located in Paris, at 47 rue Des Petits-Champs. Country: Paris, France. Period: Modernism, 1970. Designer: Workshop of Georges L'Enfant for Cartier Paris.
