This rare Cartier Vintage Diamond Brooch, crafted in France in the 1930s, defies classic Art Deco principles with its unconventional design. Signed Cartier and numbered, this treasure showcases Cartier's renowned elegance and high-quality craftsmanship. Made of platinum, the brooch features old-cut diamonds weighing approximately 8.00 carats. Its symmetrical and abstracted floral composition, seemingly showcasing pear and marquise diamonds, creates optical illusions. However, upon closer inspection, the shapes are revealed to be variously sized round diamonds arranged in trompe l'oeil settings. The open-back settings allow light transmission, enhancing brilliance. With a weight of approximately 20.98 grams, this Cartier brooch is a captivating piece from the archives, embodying ingenuity and optical intrigue.
