An exceptional Cartier flower brooch, circa 1960s, crafted in platinum and 18K yellow gold and centered by an impressive, faceted amethyst weighing approximately 35.00 carats. The richly saturated violet gemstone forms the heart of the blossom, encircled by two tiers of vivid turquoise cabochons that create a striking chromatic contrast characteristic of CARTIER’s exuberant use of colored gemstones during the period.

The flower is poised upon a graceful yellow gold stem with sculptural leaves set with approximately 3.10 carats of diamonds, their scintillating brilliance providing an elegant counterpoint to the intense amethyst and turquoise. The juxtaposition of saturated color, dimensional form, and delicate naturalism gives the brooch a wonderfully vivacious and sophisticated presence.

At approximately 2.25 inches in length, the jewel is beautifully proportioned yet commanding, a distinctive example of Cartier transforming a botanical motif into an expressive composition of color and form.
