The piece has been around since the 70s and worn by several celebrities over the years, however, it’s peak in popularity is believed to be due to Kylie Jenner favouring the jewellery.
In January the reality star shared several pictures and videos of herself wearing Cartier bangles. In one of which, Kylie is seen wearing 6 of the bracelets, which at the time got a lot of attention considering she was wearing €36,000 on one arm.
