Seven richly colored cabochon rubies, totaling approximately 12.00 carats, form the centers of individually modeled blossoms, their rounded surfaces contrasting with the brilliance of approximately 22.00 carats of diamonds. Diamond-set petals and elongated openwork leaves overlap within an elongated geometric frame, culminating in a series of intersecting bands at the base.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe composition reflects Cartier's remarkable ability to reconcile seemingly opposing design traditions. During the 1920s and 1930s, the Parisian maison became a defining force in Art Deco jewelry, combining the period's fascination with geometry and symmetry with a sophisticated understanding of color, botanical ornament, and Eastern decorative influences. Rather than imposing strict regularity upon the floral arrangement, Cartier allows the blossoms to appear almost freely scattered within the structured platinum framework, creating a subtle tension between nature and architecture.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe brooch's openwork construction is especially compelling. Its diamond-set leaves curve around the flowers with the delicacy of embroidered lace, while the angular outer border and crossed lower bands provide a strong architectural foundation. The vivid cabochon rubies introduce concentrated points of crimson amid the continuous white brilliance of the diamonds, lending warmth and depth to the composition.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eMeasuring approximately 3.5 inches in length and 2 inches in width, the brooch possesses the scale of an important decorative jewel. Signed Cartier Paris, it captures the house's distinctive approach to Art Deco design: ornamental richness held in perfect balance by clarity of line and proportion.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cem\u003eSeven ruby blossoms, gathered within a framework of diamond light.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cartier Paris\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeriod:\u003c\/strong\u003e Circa 1925–1935\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Art Deco\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMetal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Platinum and 18K Yellow Gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStones \u0026amp; Carat Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cabochon rubies totaling approximately 12.00 carats; brilliant-cut diamonds totaling approximately 22.00 carats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 3.5 inches long × 2 inches wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 38.2 grams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSigned \/ Numbered:\u003c\/strong\u003e Signed Cartier Paris\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e Openwork floral plaque brooch with seven ruby-centered blossoms, diamond-set leaves, and a geometric border\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e France\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Excellent vintage condition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInternal ID:\u003c\/strong\u003e BR65120\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Cartier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67919418622225,"sku":"BR65120","price":85000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0905\/9008\/5393\/files\/Art_Deco_Diamond_and_Ruby_Brooch_4375562.jpg?v=1793301610","url":"https:\/\/www.odeoncollection.com\/products\/cartier-art-deco-ruby-and-diamond-floral-plaque-brooch-in-platinum-and-18k-gold","provider":"Odeon Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
