What does the Cartier Paris Eagle Head look like?
The Cartier Paris hallmark from this period appears as a small 'Cartier' punch alongside the French eagle-head assay mark, indicating 18-karat gold. The maker's mark is typically struck inside a horizontal cartouche on the inner band of rings or on the clasp of necklaces and bracelets. A serial number, often four to five digits, accompanies the mark and can be cross-referenced with Cartier's archive to confirm the workshop of origin and approximate date.
