Cartier “Le Baiser du Dragon” Diamond & Ruby Pin Brooch, 18K White Gold, Signed & Numbered, Cartier Case, 1990s

An exceptional and highly collectible Cartier Le Baiser du Dragon pin brooch, created in the 1990s and inspired by the maison’s celebrated interpretation of Chinese Art Deco design. Instantly recognisable, the geometric dragon motif combines bold architectural lines with refined craftsmanship, embodying the distinctive aesthetic that made this collection one of Cartier’s most sought-after modern creations.

Expertly crafted in 18k white gold and pavé-set throughout with brilliant-cut diamonds, the design displays remarkable depth, precision and light performance. A pear-shaped ruby forms the dragon’s eye, providing a vivid point of colour against the shimmering diamond-set surface and lending the piece its unmistakable character.

Measuring 2.2 cm in length, this finely executed jewel is signed Cartier, numbered, and bears customs/assay marks. It is accompanied by its original Cartier fitted presentation case, further enhancing its desirability among collectors and connoisseurs of vintage Cartier jewellery.

Elegant, sculptural and increasingly difficult to source, this is a rare opportunity to acquire an authentic example from one of Cartier’s most distinctive late-20th-century collections.
