Oh, Cartier. It’s possible I should try to post less of you, but I just can’t help it.
These marvelous earrings are by Cartier, Paris. I think they are simply bursting with fabulousness.
Each surmount of is of cluster design and set with circular-cut amethysts, cabochon turquoise, and brilliant-cut diamonds. Each surmount suspends a detachable drop similarly set with turquoise, diamonds and pear-shaped amethysts, mounted in gold and platinum.
These earrings were sold as part of Sotheby’s November 2011 Magnificent Jewels sale. All images and info are thanks to Sotheby’s.
But the title of this post was plural, remember? I couldn’t resist giving you a double-hitter today. (Did that make sense? I am only marginally sports-literate.)
Fabulous earrings #2 are set with pear-shaped sapphires and brilliant-cut and baguette diamonds. The bottom pendants detach so that you have the option of slightly less formal earrings, if that’s what you want. The earrings are signed Cartier and numbered, French assay marks.
These earrings were sold in Sotheby’s May 2012 Suburb Jewels auction. All images and info are thanks to Sotheby’s.
