In 1927, the mines were officially closed, capping the supply of Kashmir sapphires forever. Their desirability stems from their rarity and the distinctive deep \u2018velvety\u2019 blue colour that appears luminous in any light. \u2018This Chaumet ring<\/a> is a beautiful example, so we expect it to attract a lot of attention,\u2019 says Berden.<\/p>\n

Cartier animal jewels<\/p>\n

The sale also includes a selection of Cartier animal jewels, among them a pair of late-20th-century Cartier \u2018Tiger\u2019 cuffs. The \u2018big cat\u2019 motif first appeared in Cartier\u2019s design vocabulary<\/a> in 1914 by means of an onyx-spotted panther-pattern wristwatch created by the designer Charles Jacqueau. It was Jeanne Toussaint, however, who transformed it into a 20th-century icon.<\/p>\n

Toussaint \u2014 nicknamed \u2018The Panther\u2019 by Louis Cartier, in reference to the panther-skin rugs that decorated her apartment \u2014 worked with the designer Peter Lemarchand to create a wide array of two- and three-dimensional \u2018big cat\u2019 jewels. By the late 1940s, these jewels, which had expanded to incorporate designs featuring the tiger as well as the panther, were must-have accessories for royals, A-listers and style icons, including Wallis Simpson, Duchess of Windsor, Daisy Fellowes and Nina Dyer<\/a>. The motif has been reimagined many times since, as in this striking pair of Tiger cuffs<\/a> set with onyx, diamonds and coloured diamonds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In 1927, the mines were officially closed, capping the supply of Kashmir sapphires forever.
