FURTHER DETAILS
Cartier's lapis lazuli, diamond and coral bird brooches of the 1940s are both contemporary expressions of political sentiments and charming and decorative war-time jewellery. Sporting France's national colours, they are evidence of how much political and social upheaval can have a direct influence on the design of jewellery.
