Cigarette Holder, 1932
This is a Cigarette Holder. It was produced by Cartier. It is dated 1932. Its medium is jet, silver, diamonds, sapphires.
By the 1920s most jewelers in the United States and Europe carried smoking accessories. The cigarette holder protected one’s fingers and eyes while also playing a significant social and fashionable role. Although men used cigarette holders, the Jewelers’ Circular credited the rise of female smokers to the cigarette holder industry, which used a great range of materials and eye-catching styles.
It is credited The Carolyn Hsu-Balcer Collection.
