Cartier London platinum, diamond, and no-heat Ceylon sapphire double clips, conceived during the most distinguished chapter of the London atelier’s history. Established in 1902 to serve Britain’s royal and aristocratic clientele, Cartier London developed a distinct identity, distinct from Paris and New York—one defined by architectural restraint, impeccable platinum work, and an exceptional preference for rare, naturally unheated gemstones. By the late 1930s and early 1940s, the workshop had reached a creative apex, producing jewels of quiet authority and enduring sophistication.

Created circa 1935–1945, these double clips exemplify that golden era. Each clip is composed as a sculptural floral cluster, centering on velvety blue Ceylon sapphires selected for their natural, no-heat origin—stones prized at the time for their depth, purity, and sensual luminosity. The sapphires are gently embraced by brilliant-cut diamonds, set with precision to form a soft, shimmering halo that heightens the stones’ inner glow while preserving the disciplined elegance for which Cartier London is revered.

Executed in cool platinum, the design possesses a tactile intimacy, resting against the body with effortless grace. The double-clip format—favored by Cartier London for its versatility—allows the pair to be worn together as a dramatic, symmetrical statement or separately, offering a more discreet yet equally compelling expression.

Accompanied by an AGL certificate and signed Cartier London, Made in England, these clips stand as a rare testament to the London workshop’s mastery during its most celebrated period, where gemological integrity, refined design, and historical significance converge in a jewel of lasting sensuality and collectability.
