Cartier Paris Emerald and Diamond Wreath Stick Pin
Emerald Leaves and Diamond Brilliance in an Edwardian Cartier Wreath
This Edwardian Cartier Paris emerald and diamond stick pin, crafted in platinum and gold, presents an open wreath of diamond-set foliage accented by vivid green emeralds. Its delicate leaf arrangement, fine beaded borders and contrasting metals give the jeweled head an intricate, carefully balanced appearance.
The wreath design forms the centerpiece. Diamond-set leaves follow the curved outline, creating a continuous foliate composition around an open center. Their varied orientations introduce a sense of movement, while the spaces between them keep the design light and allow the individual settings to remain clearly visible.
Four elongated emerald-set accents punctuate the wreath. Each contains emeralds arranged within a pointed leaf-shaped gold border, introducing concentrated areas of green among the diamonds. The warm color of the gold outlines emphasizes these accents and provides a subtle contrast with the surrounding platinum.
The faceted diamonds bring light and texture to the smaller leaves. Fine beaded edges trace their outlines, reinforcing the botanical motif and adding detail around the gemstone settings. Viewed closely, the wreath reveals a layered arrangement of leaves, stones and metal borders; from a distance, it reads as an elegant circle of green and white.
The combination of platinum and gold plays an important role in the composition. The white metal complements the diamonds, while the gold gives definition to the emerald sections. A slender pin shaft completes the jewel, allowing the decorative head to remain the focal point.
Collector’s Note
For collectors of Edwardian Cartier jewelry, this stick pin brings together an appealing combination of wreath ornament, emerald color and finely detailed diamond settings. Its open foliate design offers numerous details to appreciate, from the beaded leaf borders to the placement of the emerald accents.
The jewel’s interest also lies in its compact composition. Rather than relying on a single central gemstone, the design distributes color and brilliance around the wreath, giving each section a role in the overall arrangement. It is a distinctive choice for a collection focused on antique Cartier jewelry, botanical motifs or jeweled stick pins.
Styling Note
This emerald and diamond stick pin adds a refined touch of green to a jacket lapel or tie. Its wreath silhouette works particularly well against a plain fabric, where the open center and individual leaves can be appreciated.
Navy, charcoal, cream and warm neutral tones provide an attractive setting for the emeralds and diamonds. Worn as a single jeweled accent, the pin brings the decorative elegance of Edwardian jewelry into contemporary tailoring.

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.
