Cartier 1980s Cabochon Sapphire & Diamond Suite in 18K Gold

As if gathered from a Parisian soirée, just before the curtain falls.

This luminous Cartier set from the 1980s—comprising a pair of quatrefoil earrings and a matching ring—blooms with deep cabochon sapphires, their velvety blue pooled in rounded, golden bezels. Each petal is traced in brilliant-cut diamonds, 1.04 carats total, offering a bright counterpoint to the sapphires’ moody allure. The sculptural silhouette and richness of the 18k yellow gold capture the Maison’s signature balance of opulence and restraint. French-made, signed, and numbered, this is Cartier at its most quietly decadent.

For the woman who dresses in color, but lives in chiaroscuro.
