The central floral motif is framed by an elaborate arrangement of rounded, curling gold forms, whose deeply modeled surfaces create an interplay of light, shadow, and texture.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eAldo Cipullo occupies a distinctive place in Cartier's twentieth-century history. The Italian-born designer joined Cartier New York in the late 1960s and became closely associated with the house's move toward bold, sculptural gold jewelry, most famously through his creation of the Love bracelet. This brooch reflects a similarly confident treatment of gold, although its naturalistic ornamentation offers a more romantic expression of the period's design language.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe generous volume of the 18K gold setting contrasts with the concentrated brilliance of the diamonds and the quiet depth of the emerald. Measuring 2 inches in height and weighing 49.4 grams, the brooch has the presence of a small sculpture, its floral contours lending movement to an otherwise substantial form.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cem\u003eA golden flower gathered around a single pool of green.\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\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aldo Cipullo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeriod:\u003c\/strong\u003e Circa 1970\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e France\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMetal:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18K Yellow Gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStones \u0026amp; Carat Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cabochon-cut emerald weighing 8.00 carats; white diamonds totaling approximately 2.35 carats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.0 inches high × 1.75 inches wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 49.4 grams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sculptural floral brooch with a central cabochon emerald, diamond surround, and curling gold petals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Excellent vintage condition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Cartier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67919433761041,"sku":"PI65179","price":24500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0905\/9008\/5393\/files\/IMG_1648_Product_Beautifier_4373802.jpg?v=1793301766","url":"https:\/\/www.odeoncollection.com\/products\/cartier-emerald-and-diamond-floral-brooch-designed-by-aldo-cipullo-in-18k-yellow","provider":"Odeon Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
