Commissioned in 1907 for the wedding of Marie Bonaparte to Prince George of Greece and Denmark, this exquisite diadem is a superb example of Cartier’s early 20th-century haute joaillerie. Crafted in platinum—a metal then favored for its strength and lightness—it features a harmonious composition of brilliant-cut diamonds and natural pearls, arranged in a balanced, neoclassical design that reflects the refined elegance of Belle Époque taste.
