Jackie shopped at Cartier like I shop at Big Lots..................

The watch that Kim purchased is gorgeous!  I love it, but I remember the other one (also sold here) had a large man's face and a leather braided strap.... sure could be wrong but that's what I'm remembering.  I didn't buy either, but prefered the one Kim bought....

But you can't "buy" class. Kim will never be in the same league as Jackie, even if she wears the watch every day.

Dear QGirl2,

Thank you for the info. Honestly I do not know who Kim is however according to this blog her style does not quite match Jackie's. 

Cartier started their mass watch gold collection to win more market share. The second tier is Les must du Cartier in vermeil. Their scarves, handbags and leader accessories have not been as successful. There is no need to be the Duchess of Windsor to afford a nice Cartier item. It is always fun to go to  23  place Vendôme in Paris. The same goes for Tiffany's silver jewelry🌻Not very successful in Europe.

Isn't that the truth @Kachina624... What a waste... The only thing I can imagine is that this piece wasn't highly valued by the family or I doubt they'd have let it go...

I don't know about the paperclip necklace, but I seem to remember there were only four of the Castellani bracelet...

5 Pieces Commissioned - 3 Created

Five bracelets were reported on the books, however, only three bracelets were ever crafted.

"The third was commissioned for Princesse de Bogali of Milan by her husband. The Princesse died thirteen years prior to having the bracelet made. As an eternal expression of his love, he paid Castellani three times the value of the bracelet to never make another."
