Created during Aldo Cipullo's five year collaboration with Cartier, New York, circa 1970, this penguin brooch is composed of 18K gold, ruby, sapphires, and diamonds. The brooch is designed as a stylized penguin with gypsy-set diamond head and wings, circular-cut ruby eye, and banded sapphire feet. Boldly formed yet whimsical, this charming brooch by Cipullo represents one of the artist's classic "animalier" designs for Cartier.
