Cartier Art Deco Cabochon Sapphire and Diamond Stick Pin in Platinum by Georges Andrey
Art Deco Cartier Deep Blue Sapphire with Geometric Diamond Accents
This antique Art Deco Cartier New York sapphire and diamond stick pin, crafted in platinum by Georges Andrey, combines a blue cabochon sapphire with two rectangular step-cut diamonds. Its balanced gemstone arrangement brings together rich color, softly rounded contours and crisp diamond facets.
The blue cabochon sapphire forms the centerpiece. Its rectangular outline, curved corners and polished dome give the stone a strong visual presence. Light moves across its smooth surface, creating reflections that contrast with the sharply defined facets of the diamonds.
Positioned on either side of the sapphire, the two rectangular step-cut diamonds create a symmetrical frame. Their elongated facets introduce flashes of light beside the deeper blue center, while their individual rectangular settings reinforce the clean lines of the composition. The close arrangement keeps attention on the relationship between the three gemstones.
The platinum setting provides a cool white surround that complements both the sapphire and the diamonds. Corner prongs secure the center stone, leaving its domed surface prominently displayed. A slender pin shaft completes the design, giving the jeweled head a restrained and elegant foundation.
Cartier Signature and French Hallmarks
The pin bears the Cartier New York signature, together with a French platinum hallmark and the GA maker’s stamp of Georges Andrey. These marks identify the jewelry house, the precious metal and the workshop responsible for its manufacture.
The signature and stamps are illustrated in the accompanying close-up photographs, allowing the pin’s identifying marks to be examined alongside its gemstone settings and construction.
Collector’s Note
For collectors of Art Deco Cartier jewelry, an identifiable workshop mark adds interest beyond the house signature. Here, the Georges Andrey GA stamp provides an additional point of reference for understanding the jewel’s craftsmanship.
The pin’s deep blue sapphire, symmetrical diamond arrangement and platinum setting bring together distinctive elements of its Art Deco design. Its compact proportions and combination of house signature, French platinum hallmark and maker’s stamp make it an appealing addition to a collection of signed antique jewelry.
Styling Note
This Art Deco sapphire and diamond stick pin brings a concentrated touch of blue to tailored clothing. Worn on a jacket lapel or with a tie, it complements navy, charcoal and lighter neutral fabrics.
The polished sapphire adds richness, while the diamond accents introduce light and definition. Its compact jeweled head offers a refined accent for someone who appreciates expressive gemstones and distinctive antique accessories.

How do I know a piece is authentic, and can I trust DSF?
Buying fine jewelry online takes trust, especially at this level. DSF Antique Jewelry is a New York–based dealer with over 50 years of fine jewelry expertise. Every piece is examined for authenticity and condition before it is listed — we assess hallmarks, maker's marks, metal content, gemstones, and construction consistent with the stated period or designer. For signed pieces such as Cartier, Buccellati, or Van Cleef & Arpels, we verify maker's marks and signatures. We're glad to send additional photographs of any hallmark, or speak with you directly, before you decide.
Why does antique gold look different, and is surface wear normal?
Antique pieces were often made in gold standards less common today, such as 15ct (used in Britain only between 1854 and 1932), 9ct, or higher-karat continental gold, which give a warmer tone than typical modern 14k. Light surface wear, softened edges, and a gentle patina are normal and expected on antique jewelry — they reflect the age and authenticity of the piece, not flaws. We describe the true condition of every item honestly in its listing.
What do the hallmarks and maker's marks mean?
Hallmarks are small stamped marks that identify the metal standard, and often the maker, assay office, and date. They are one of the best tools for authenticating antique jewelry. We identify and explain the marks we find on each piece in its description, and we're happy to send close-up photographs of any hallmark on request so you can see exactly what you're buying.
Can pieces be resized or adjusted?
It depends on the piece. Many antique rings can be resized, but bands with all-around engraving, thin shanks, or gemstones near the base may be limited in how far they can safely go, and some pieces are best left as-is to preserve their integrity. We list each item's measurements as they currently are. If you're unsure whether something can be safely adjusted, contact us before buying and we'll give you an honest assessment for that specific piece.
How should I care for and store fine jewelry?
Clean gently with a soft cloth, avoid harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners, and chlorine, and store pieces separately so they don't scratch one another. Remove rings and bracelets for heavy manual tasks. Antique gold is softer than modern alloys, so period pieces are best enjoyed with normal care. Treated well, fine antique jewelry lasts for generations — many of our pieces are already a century or more old and still beautiful.
