Directors Notes
Zodiac pendants have become hugely popular and the original, vintage ones, like this one from the 1960s are the most coveted, particularly ones made by Georges Lenfant. Lenfant created zodiacs of various designs during this period for Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels, these pendants are particularly collectible and all of the exceptional quality you would expect from these famous fine jewellery houses and Lenfant. This one is in the ‘jumbo’ size which is particularly rare to find from this Cartier collection.
