Cartier Paris Duck Brooch Chalcedony Egg 18K Yellow Gold

Cartier Paris Duck Brooch Chalcedony Egg 18K Yellow Gold This whimsical Cartier brooch depicts a newly hatched duckling emerging from its egg, rendered in 18K yellow gold with a carved chalcedony egg shell. The duckling's finely textured head peeks through the cracked egg, accented by a round ruby eye that brings warmth and character to the design. The contrast between the smooth white chalcedony and the richly detailed goldwork highlights Cartier's playful approach to animal-inspired jewelry. Delicate engraving and subtle oxidized details emphasize the duckling's features while maintaining a refined appearance. Measuring approximately 1.3 inches long by 0.5 inches wide and weighing 11.1 grams, the brooch offers a compact yet substantial presence. A distinctive French-made Cartier piece that balances humor, craftsmanship, and collectible appeal.
