Gemstone: Single brilliant-cut diamond (estimate: 0.75 HI VVS, well proportioned for lively brilliance. Exact grading available on request.

Provenance and care: Supplied with detailed provenance where available. Store in a soft pouch, avoid harsh chemicals, and service settings periodically.
This piece functions as both wearable jewelry and a documented example of Cartier’s late-century design language—suitable as an heirloom and for exhibition in a curated collection.
