Cartier Antique Platinum Diamond and Pearl Stick Pin

Cartier Diamond and Pearl Stick Pin in Platinum

An exquisite Cartier creation from the early 20th century, this Art Deco platinum stick pin reflects the impeccable craftsmanship and refined aesthetics that defined Cartier’s golden era. Expertly set with rose-cut and old mine-cut diamonds, the jewel glimmers with subtle brilliance, enhanced by a delicate natural pearl crowning the design.

The circular motif, measuring approximately one inch in diameter, is beautifully balanced by a stylized openwork top, forming a harmonious play of geometry and light. Each diamond is set within intricate milgrain borders, a signature Cartier detail of the period.

The stick pin is signed “Cartier Paris, Londres, New York”, and engraved with the serial number 8787, testifying to its authenticity and cosmopolitan history — a piece that bridged Cartier’s great ateliers in three capitals of luxury. The ingenious tension mechanism secures the pin firmly to the garment, demonstrating both technical ingenuity and functional elegance.

Likely created in the 1910s–1920s, this piece captures the transitional moment between Edwardian grace and the bold geometry of the Art Deco age. It is a rare collector’s jewel, embodying the sophistication, balance, and artistry synonymous with the House of Cartier.
