Fine, luxurious heavy antique Imperial 18K yellow gold Jadeite, Old European cut diamond Enamel cigarette case.
19th Century
Exquisite workmanship, sophisticated design of undulating gold dab with an elegant natural triangular shape Jadeite, adorns with one Old Euro cut diamond on top. Artistically rendered to catch the play of light on the subtle pattern on the case, the pattern is quite complex, requiring a master goldsmith- it has been a favorite of Cartier and Faberge at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries. This cigarette case was expertly calibrated by the maker to remain open at different angles.
A fabulous gift for a sailing enthusiast.
