Museum Monday: Cartier Stomacher Brooch

The Denver Art Museum had an exhibit called Brilliant: Cartier in the 20th Century which I was lucky enough to see in its last few days. I found that I loved the early styles of the 1900's. One unique piece was a Stomacher Broach made in 1907. Stomachers were worn below the breast on the stomach. It is in the Garland style and is made with platinum, diamonds, and 51 carats of sapphires. Cartier Paris 1907 Museum Monday is an every other week series about museum news, objects, and reviews.
