A cast silver sculptural group adorned and encrusted with precious gemstones showing a Roman soldier in full regalia seated left of center and opposite an Eqyptian woman while reclining on a chaise longue resting right of center. A servant is cooling the woman using a fan and both are placed in the center of the composition. There is a small tripod table to the right of the chaise holding a bowl of cabachon rubies and sapphires and faceted diamonds with a golden urn beneath. The soldier’s bare right arm is draped over the right arm of the chair, showing he is relaxed while his bare right leg extends toward her. His left hand is resting on his knee with his palm facing up as if he is explaining an idea to her. He is clothed from under his breasts where a band of diamonds is worn to his thighs, trimmed in cabachon rubies. He is sitting on a chair that resembles a small throne and wears a heavy-looking tall Roman helmut with cabachon jewels and faceted diamonds. He is seductive. The woman’s position is also relaxed, seductive and also powerful. She is looking directly at the Roman soldier and her arm mirrors the placement of his arm draped over the chair. Her right arm is casually resting on her crossed extended legs holding what appears to be a weapon. She is wearing a bra with two cabachon sapphires as breasts and loose silky pants situated below her naval with two rubies strategically placed on her pelvic region with jeweled borders on her pants. She is adorned with a headdress that displays an asp as her flowing hair glistens with diamonds. She is anticipating his move on her large throne as she reclines on exquisite gemstones. Her servant is muscular and he is close by. He is wearing a simple wrapped skirt bejeweled with one row of sapphires on the border. His headdress is simple with two flaps that extend to his breasts each with one ruby and several diamonds. The fan he holds above her head has a rounded arrow form and is completely encrusted with jewels. The sculpture group is supported on a beveled rectangular platform embellished with a centered croissant shaped object with a large cabachon sapphire in the center. On each side of the object is a pattern of jeweled waves repeated with large capachon sapphires in the center.

A locket in the form of a quatrefoil, the overall outline of four partially overlapping circles of the same diameter with square projections. The locket face is white enamel with intricately engraved white lines radiating out like a sunburst around at diamond at its center.

This Cartier brooch has a curving square frame and diamond studded elements around the frame. The square frame itself is smooth with curved edges but sharp corners, and gives off a light blue shade. The square has a row of square studs with four circular studs lining the interior shape and adding intricate detail. The square's top edge has a three-rowed diamond band hugging around the top of the square. The bottom edge of the square has the same three-rowed diamond band with the only difference being the hanging, studded trapezoid below it. There are matching diamond studded elements hinged on either side by a wider band of diamond and black stone square studs. The shape's longest sides are the width of the square and look like triangles, but with elongated, squared-off parallel lines off the corners, extending the length of the triangle slightly. The triangle's centers have a large circular stone surrounded by smaller studs that are arranged to mirror the triangle shape. The triangle's angled sides are outlined with black rock embellishments, and meet to a circular diamond on the corner. The hanging studded diamond and black rock trapezoid is hinged to an upside-down trapezoid with edged curves. In the center of the upside-down trapezoid, the curves meet to three circular stones. The bottom most stone has a studded circle around it; hinged off the studded circle are three spherical black stones. The three black stones are stacked and are a petal-like studded base that holds the pearl at the bottom, prominent in size to the whole piece.
