Cartier French pearl diamond platinum earrings

These exceptional Mid Century earrings by Cartier are a masterful expression of the maison’s refined elegance and impeccable craftsmanship. At the center of each earring rests a luminous pearl measuring approximately 11.54 mm, selected for its smooth surface, generous size, and soft, glowing luster. The pearls provide a timeless focal point, embodying the understated sophistication that has long defined Cartier’s most iconic designs.

Framing the pearls are eight precisely cut baguette diamonds totaling approximately 1.00 carat. Graded F in color with VS clarity, the diamonds introduce crisp brilliance and architectural refinement, their linear geometry creating a striking contrast against the pearls’ organic curves. This interplay of structure and softness is a hallmark of Cartier’s Mid Century aesthetic, resulting in a design that feels both luxurious and effortlessly balanced.

Crafted in platinum with 18k white gold backs, the earrings offer durability, comfort, and a cool-toned elegance that enhances the diamonds’ brilliance. Measuring approximately three-quarters of an inch in length, they present a refined yet confident presence on the ear. Signed, numbered, and bearing French dog and eagle hallmarks, these earrings are an authentic and highly collectible example of Cartier’s French-made jewelry from the 1960s.

Presented with the original Cartier box, this pair represents a rare opportunity to acquire a complete and beautifully preserved piece of Cartier history—timeless, elegant, and unmistakably iconic.
