"Tiger" bangle-bracelet, Cartier, Paris

September 2016's edition of Biennale des Antiquaires, a must-attend event for more than half a century and quintessentially representative of the French "art de vivre", marks a turning point in the history of the Show which will become an annual event beginning in 2017, without leaving behind what makes it so exceptional. Among the others, this year's catalogue boasts an amazing masterpiece by Cartier: Véronique Bamps' "Tigers" bangle bracelet. This bangle-bracelet, featuring two tigers with swiveling heads, is very unusual. In yellow gold, it is set with fancy intense yellow diamonds, some white diamonds on the cheeks, the stripes are in onyx and the eyes in emerald. www.biennale-paris.com
