Art Deco Tutti Frutti Diamond Sapphire Carved Ruby Platinum Earrings, Circa 1920
About the Item
Exquisite Art Deco period Tutti Frutti diamond, cabochon sapphire, carved ruby platinum earrings.
Circa 1920
Each designed as a stylized diamond basket laden with large, luscious cabochon sapphire fruit with a beautifully carved ruby leaf on an elegant elongated diamond stem. Very fine quality workmanship where even the diamonds highlighting the sapphires and rubies are set in individual beaded cullet settings. Superb, well balanced design for memorable impact.
The Tutti Frutti design is synonomous with Cartier. Inspired by a visit to India in the 1920, Jacques Cartier who ran the London branch of Cartier at the time, combined the exotic carved gemstones he brought back with the then modern Art Deco aesthetic to a striking effect which continues to fascinate today.
