Based on its construction, signature, and comparisons with other Cartier pieces, it likely dates to the 1950s-1960s. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e18kt Yellow Gold\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasures: .80\" L x .56\" W \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6.5 Grams\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCirca 1950s-1960s\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Jewels by Grace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48434910003337,"sku":"092426H-G","price":8900.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0293\/7149\/8633\/files\/vintage-cartier-diamond-enamel-hatching-chick-brooch-by-cartier-6425466.jpg?v=1790315119","url":"https:\/\/jewelsbygrace.com\/products\/vintage-cartier-diamond-enamel-hatching-chick-brooch-by-cartier","provider":"Jewels by Grace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
