Diamond Turban Ornament
1937 Cartier Art Deco Diamond Turban Ornament
In 1937 Maharaja Digvijaysinhji of Nawanagar asked Cartier to set the ‘Tiger’s Eye’, an unusual cognac-coloured diamond discovered in 1913 and sold by the firm to his predecessor Maharaja Ranjitsinhji.
Cartier designed a turban ornament around the gem, using baguette-cut diamonds to create an Art Deco look for this traditional Indian jewellery form.
