Cartier - Oval Opal Inlay Gas Lighter - Pocket lighter - Gold-plated

Thank you for looking! What immediately draws the eye is the opal mosaic—each fragment catching light differently, shifting between blue, green, and subtle flashes of fire as the angle changes. Set against the finely textured gold-plated body, the contrast feels both playful and refined, very much in Cartier’s Parisian spirit. The slim silhouette sits comfortably in the hand, while the lid opens with a composed, confident motion. When lit, the flame rises neatly, giving a quiet sense of reassurance. This is the kind of lighter that stands out at auction not by shouting, but by offering color, craftsmanship, and a hint of individuality that’s easy to imagine woven into everyday life. Please take a moment to enjoy the details below!

[Appearance]
There are surface scratches, small scuffs, and visible wear to the gold plating, particularly around edges, corners, and the base, consistent with age and use. These signs of wear soften the overall shine and add warmth rather than detract from the piece. The opal mosaic inlays on the front panel and top remain intact, with vivid color play and no obvious losses visible in the photos. Engravings such as “Cartier Paris,” “Plaque Or G,” and the serial number remain clear and legible.
