  • If the jewels from the Al Thani Collection coming up for auction haven’t had you dreaming of maharajas and seeing Mughal motifs everywhere, then you are stronger people than we are…and than Cartier was in the 1920s, as many pieces from the period (and beyond) were love letters to this incredible period of Indian history as a vision of unrestrained dedication to opulence and beauty - like this Cartier jabot pin from circa 1927 - its emeralds carved with classic Mughal motifs, within a diamond surround inspired by Indo-Islamic architecture…shown above against the painted arches of the corridor leading to the zenana in Samode Palace in Jaipur. #symbolicchase #cartier #jabot #1920s #mughal #indoislamicarchitecture #maharaja #carvedemerald #jaipur #rajasthan #althanicollection

  • When the sky is being coy and hiding its azur behind clouds, a 52.20ct Ceylon no heat sapphire mounted by Cartier will have to do....and unlike a British summer, doesn’t even need a filter.

  • A blinding pear-shaped diamond mounted by Cartier Paris...excuse having put it on my index, but it simply doesn’t fit on my ring finger...which is pretty decadent statement in itself! The stone is 20.11cts D colour VVS1 clarity. #symbolicchase #cartier #singlestonering #bondstreet #oldbondstreet #london #engagementring #engagement #diamondsolitaire #pearshapediamond #finejewelry #statementjewelry

  • BOUCHERON. Lapis lazuli and enamel 'Chinoiserie' vase. Designed as a stylised 'Hu' vase, its hollowed lapis lazuli body carved with handles depicting two mythical beasts, its lid, base, and sides embellished with light and dark blue and white enamel detail, measurements approximately 120mm x 51mm x 32mm, circa May 1929, signed Boucheron Paris, maker's mark and French assay mark for gold. . Hu vases were first seen in China during the Shang Dynasty (1600-1045 BC) and were originally bronze ritualistic wine vessels. Throughout Chinese history, the form and purpose of these vases evolved and by the 18th Century, encouraged by The Qianlong Emperor's taste for archaistic styles, Qing jade craftsmen were producing lidded-vases of almost identical proportions and features as this example by Boucheron. #symbolicchase #boucheron #hu #huvase #objetdart #lapis #lapislazuli #enamel #blueenamel #chinoiserie
