Circa 1940s, Cartier New York at a moment where design shifts from strict geometry into something more sculptural, holding onto discipline while allowing movement to enter the form.
Built tough weighing 15 grams, with high quality gemstones set in platinum. Across the top it measures approximately 20mm x 12mm.
This gorgeous tank is set with approximately 1.50 carats of buff cut sapphires, flanked with approximately .60 carats of transitional cut diamonds.
The contrast between the bold sapphires and bright metal is controlled, yet flashy, the line of color held tightly within the structure. A circular side form breaks the rigidity, introducing movement without losing precision.
