Cartier Tiger’s Eye Feline Brooch France, 1970

A playful spirit. A master’s hand. Certified and enduring.

Created in France in 1970, this distinctive Cartier brooch captures the charm and character of a feline through bold material contrast and refined execution. The face is carved from richly banded tiger’s eye, its warm brown and honeyed striations displaying the stone’s natural chatoyancy—a soft, shifting glow that brings depth and quiet animation to the surface.

The features are sculpted in 18k yellow gold: textured fur sweeps across the forehead, polished whiskers extend in confident lines, and sharply defined ears complete the silhouette with graphic clarity. Two brilliant-cut diamonds form the eyes, adding a precise flash of light that enlivens the expression and balances the warmth of the gold and stone.

Measuring 1.25 inches in width and 1.1 inches in height, and weighing 15.92 grams, the brooch has a compact yet substantial presence. It reflects Cartier’s celebrated 1970s aesthetic—playful, sculptural, and unmistakably sophisticated.

This piece is accompanied by a certificate from AJIA, further attesting to its authenticity and gemological assessment.
