Footnotes

This brooch is similar to the palm tree brooches made by Cartier during the second quarter of the 20th century. The platinum examples were often set throughout with diamonds or with coloured gemstone coconuts or fruits. For examples of diamond palm tree brooches by Cartier, see Cologni, F and Nussbaum, N, 'Platinum by Cartier; Triumphs of the Jewellers' Art', Harry N. Abrams, Inc, 1996, pp. 214 - 215.
