Vintage Cartier 18k Gold Diamond and Emerald Horse Brooch

A sought-after vintage Cartier 18k gold Horse brooch set with round brilliant-cut diamonds and an emerald eye.
Crafted in 18k white gold, the design portrays a galloping horse, its dynamic pose full of energy and grace. The body is entirely set with round brilliant-cut diamonds, creating a striking pavé surface that highlights every curve and contour of the figure. An emerald cabochon forms the eye, adding a vivid touch of color and personality to the piece.
The sculpted mane and tail are rendered in polished gold, contrasting subtly with the diamond-set body to emphasize the sense of motion. Measuring approximately 1.5” x 2”, this brooch reflects Cartier’s exceptional craftsmanship and attention to proportion. It perfectly captures movement and vitality in a remarkably lifelike way.
A fine example of vintage Cartier jewelry, this diamond and emerald horse brooch is a distinctive creation that embodies both luxury and artistry in wearable form.
