CARTIER'S ELEGANT EXOTICISM
At the end of the Second World War, the world needed colour, new music and new horizons. The jeweller Cartier filled his world with plants, trees, flowers and birds. The theme of the palm tree finds its apogee in the large clip that was made in 1957 in a high jewellery version of diamonds and rubies, today in the heritage collection of the House of Cartier. The example we are offering to collectors ticks a lot of boxes: originality, the use of gold balls, articulated motifs and, above all, a large dose of humour.
A diamond, platinum and 18K yellow gold "Palmtree" clip by Cartier, circa 1945. Signed Cartier and numbered.
