Cartier Unheated Burma Sapphire Stick Pin

This remarkable stick pin by Cartier Paris is a testament to the Maison’s unparalleled artistry during the early 20th century. The centerpiece — a 1.5-carat unheated Burmese sapphire — displays an intense, velvety royal blue color untouched by heat treatment, a rarity among fine sapphires and a hallmark of natural beauty.

Expertly set in platinum, the gem rests within a delicate millegrain bezel, reflecting Cartier’s mastery of proportion and refinement. Such creations were prized by connoisseurs of their time, worn as subtle expressions of taste and status. Signed Cartier Paris, this piece embodies the understated luxury that defines the world’s most distinguished jewelry house.
