A rare Cartier Paris brooch modeled as a Native American chief’s head, crafted in 18 karat yellow gold, sterling silver enamel, diamonds and turquoise.

This Cartier Paris brooch is a compelling example of the maison’s early 20th century figurative jewels, modeled as a 3-Dimensional stylized Native American chief’s head. The face is rendered in a vibrant red enamel, framed by an elaborate headdress composed of contrasting black and white enamel eagle feathers, accented by geometric detailing studded with single cut diamonds along with turquoise cabochon earrings.

Cartier’s sculptural approach is evident in the dimensional layering of the feathers, the interplay of polish and texture, and the precise metalwork outlining each section. Pieces of this type were produced in small numbers by Cartier’s Paris workshop and are now sought after for their craftsmanship, cultural motifs, and their role within Cartier’s tradition of figurative and iconographic jewels.

The over 100 years of enjoyment of this iconic gem have led to some wearing of the Cartier Paris stamp on the reverse side of the brooch, it is highlighted in red in the images.
