Art Deco Cartier Amethyst and Diamond 18K Gold Cufflink and Stud Set
Cartier Art Deco Dress Set with Cabochon Amethysts and Diamond Borders
This exceptional Art Deco Cartier amethyst and diamond dress set brings together a pair of double-sided cufflinks and three matching shirt studs in 18K gold. Deep purple amethyst cabochons form the center of each face, framed by dark faceted surrounds and outer borders set with diamonds. Fine milgrain edging defines the concentric settings, giving the design a precise, beautifully finished appearance.
The smooth, rounded amethysts are central to the character of these Cartier Art Deco cufflinks. Their polished domes contrast with the angular facets around them and the smaller diamonds along the perimeter. Yellow gold connecting bars and stud fittings add warmth to the purple, dark, and white composition.
The double-sided cufflinks carry the decorative design across all four faces, while the three matching shirt studs repeat the same arrangement. Together, this Cartier cufflink and stud set creates a coordinated presentation for formal evening wear, with enough color and detail to stand out against a white dress shirt. The set bears serial numbers and a French eagle’s head hallmark.
For collectors of Art Deco Cartier jewelry, this amethyst and diamond dress set offers a distinctive combination of rich color, balanced proportions, and intricate gem-set borders. It is equally appealing as fine men’s jewelry and as an example of Cartier’s approach to decorative dress 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.
