| Dress Clip Cartier, 1940 The Victoria & Albert Museum |
Jewelry in the Art Deco style rely on dense groupings of gemstones, especially diamonds, set in discreet platinum settings which seem to retreat in order to give the stones more prominence. Jewels by Cartier were among the most sought-after.
This dress clip by Cartier, created by Ernest Schwaiger in 1940, was so beloved by its creator that he kept the clip in his own collection, giving it to his wife. The clip was later bequeathed to the Victoria & Albert Museum.
