For a millennia, emeralds have been a prized gemstone with a history as rich as their lush green color. Today, although found across the world, principal deposits are located in Colombia, Brazil, and Zambia with each locality producing a range of colors. Colombia has been the source of the finest emeralds, and Colombian emeralds are the standard by which all others are measured.
 
From the 1920s through 1930s, Jacques Cartier voyaged to India, Egypt and the Middle East for the firm to buy and sell gemstones. With these visits, a new seed of inspiration came upon him to create a new style of jewelry with design aspects pulled directly from the temples, fabrics, carvings and mosques he had admired.
 
The present lot showcases Cartier’s superb example of design influence straight from the Qajar Dynasty (1779–1924). The Qajar period is known for its unique artistry, glamour and extravagance. This brooch is adorned with bright diamonds, rich rubies, vibrant baguette-cut emeralds and two spectacular carved emeralds. The significantly sized stones are similarly colored which is difficult to acquire in emeralds of these dimensions adding a unique characteristic to this impressive brooch.
