Colisee Diamond Mother of Pearl

A charming Cartier Colisée from the 1990s, elevated by its diamond-set details and beautifully executed 18k yellow gold beaded bracelet.

The round case is framed by a diamond-set bezel and crowned with a diamond cabochon, surrounding a mother-of-pearl dial engraved with radiating lines that catch the light like sun rays. The design is kept intentionally minimal, with petite applied Roman numerals at 12 and 6 o’clock—the 6 is oriented to follow the circular layout of the dial—and slender gold hands.

Diamond-set T-bar lugs lead into the supple multi-row bracelet, which drapes fluidly around the wrist and closes with a concealed clasp for an uninterrupted appearance. Powered by a quartz movement for effortless wear, this is a jewellery-forward Cartier that remains elegant decades later.
