Graduated in height and following the rounded contour of the composition, the bands transform the gemstones into an architectural element, their warm golden color merging almost seamlessly with the surrounding gold. The contrast between the severe geometry of the diamond-shaped plaque and the sculptural, almost aerodynamic sweep of the citrine-set ridges gives the design its particular dynamism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreated at a time when Cartier’s vocabulary was evolving toward the more volumetric forms of the late 1930s and 1940s, the ear clips have a distinctly modernist machine-age character. Rather than relying on intricate ornament, the design derives its impact from geometry, repetition, volume, and the play of light across the polished metal and faceted stones. The substantial gold surfaces and rich monochromatic palette anticipate the bold sculptural jewelry that would come to define the 1940s, while retaining Cartier’s characteristic precision and refinement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 inch wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.50 inch high\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeighs 18.6 grams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSigned Cartier Paris\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumbered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCome in their original red Cartier box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Cartier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67586493710624,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0192\/9311\/0372\/files\/93162.jpg?v=1790553957","url":"https:\/\/tiinasmithjewelry.com\/products\/cartier-paris-modernist-citrine-ear-clips-circa-1934-1940","provider":"Tiina Smith Jewelry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
