Piece of the Week: Lizzie Mandler’s “Cleo” Bracelet
It features a saturated, hexagonal-cut emerald.

Whether a three-row ring with alternating diamond pave links, an elegant 16-inch necklace, or distilled into small pendant form, the designer’s unique chain makes up the elements of a perfect jewelry uniform to go from white t-shirt to gown.
With well over a decade of experience in design, Mandler’s taste level and ability to reassess jewelry’s most elemental forms have made her a go-to source for classic-yet-modern design.
One of the newest items in the Cleo range, and our “Piece of the Week,” show the designer’s perfect chains are an ideal backdrop for special gems, too.
Crafted in 18-karat yellow gold, this three-row Cleo bracelet features a vibrant 1.91-carat hexagonal-cut emerald.
Priced at $32,755, the forever piece is available through LizzieMandler.com.
