Hallmarks:Cartier, 750, Serial number, French eagle assay hallmark, and Maker’s mark
This Cartier Ménagerie elephant brooch is crafted in 18k yellow gold and features a mother and baby elephant design with emerald eyes. The brooch is modeled with polished gold surfaces and subtle engraved detailing that defines the ears, legs, trunks, and body contours of each elephant. The larger elephant is shown with its trunk raised, while the smaller elephant stands beside it, creating a connected figural composition that reflects Cartier’s late 20th century animal jewelry designs.
The brooch dates to the 1990s and belongs to Cartier’s Ménagerie collection, a line known for sculptural animal motifs rendered in precious metal and gemstones. This piece measures 1 1/8 inches from left to right and 5/8 inch in height, giving it a compact but dimensional profile. It weighs 11.5 grams and is stamped Cartier, 750, serial number 614996, a French eagle assay hallmark, and maker’s mark. In excellent vintage condition, light surface wear consistent with age.
