Piece of the Week: Jade Trau’s ‘Billie’ Bangle
Take a walk along this bangle’s diamond “cobblestone” made from round-, pear-, and marquise-cut diamonds.

Everyone has seen pieces with pavé diamonds, but Jade Trau’s “Billie” bangle takes it a step further, featuring a diamond “cobblestone.”
The design uses 1.72 carats of round-, pear-, and marquise-cut diamonds in various sizes to mimic a rocky cobblestone road.
It is the first piece to feature the designer’s new signature closure developed to ensure that the hinge is extra secure on the solid bangles, said the brand.
Inspired by the “Billie” ring that has been a top seller for years, its silhouette is an iteration of an ID bracelet and is engravable.
The “Billie” bracelet launched at Couture during Las Vegas Jewelry Market Week in May and quickly became a bestseller for the brand. Several of the bangles were even sold to end customers before the end of the show.
The bangle comes in 18-karat yellow, white, or rose gold and retails for $22,600 to $24,300, depending on size.
It is available on the Jade Trau website.
