Featured Cartier brooch

now my eyes hurt too...... but I find the mark to be within the variances ... and it's double stamped 14 K....... so for me , confidence is high !

 

Thanks Komo! I feel a little bit better now❤️

 

i guess sometimes big house stamps end up on miscellaneous items. (Quoting a friend from another forum)
Who knows what was going on 70 years ago?

 

My inclination is to think this is genuine. Important to remember that branding wasn't a big thing until the 1980s when luxury went mass.

Thank you Debora!

 

...and then things went mad-

 

Some of us do...we was there!

 

Loong-legged, waren't she? My, oh my!

 

What a fabulous find! So pleased for you

 

I'm wearing Calvin socks...... really comfy..

 

She was also about 14, if that. Her mother wasn't right in the head, letter her do that shoot.

 

She was an alcoholic and never had the acting career she dreamed of herself.

That explains it.

 

I think it possible that, just like haute couture houses used Pforzheim makers here in Europe, they used top American makers in the US.

I'd rather not think about that.

 

Nice pin. I thought Cartier only used 18k gold.... they few pieces I have had over the years were 18k.

 

I did a whole lot of looking in the last week, and they did make quite a few brooches in 14k back in the day.

 

They did make quite a few brooches in 14k back in the day. Good to know.

 

Look, let's make this simple- I'll give you $5.60 for it

 

I'll round that up to $6.00, if you want a quick sale. Just to take it off your hands, of course.

Lol, it's an auction now
