Cartier Diamond Knot Earrings, 1980s

They don’t whisper, but they don’t scream either.

They glint—just enough to catch the light when she turns her head. These vintage Cartier earrings from the 1980s play on the eternal elegance of the knot motif: a symbol of connection, intention, and elegance without expiration.

Crafted in warm 18k yellow gold, the design weaves two ribbon-like strands into a sculptural embrace, each line set with bright, round brilliant-cut diamonds totaling 0.98 carats. The result is both structured and soft, sensual and strong—true to Cartier’s golden-age sensibility.

The kind of jewel that stays with a woman through her years, not because it’s flashy, but because it always feels right.
