This exquisite vintage Cartier gas lighter exemplifies the brand’s dedication to luxury craftsmanship and timeless design. Made in Paris, it features a silver-plated body (marked “ARGENT G 30 MICRONS”) adorned with a stunning opal mosaic inlay. The iridescent blue-green hues of the opal create a mesmerizing contrast against the polished silver surface, making it a true statement piece. The base is engraved with the Cartier Paris hallmark and the serial number “D13439,” confirming its authenticity. It comes complete with the original red Cartier presentation box lined in brown velvet and white satin, making it an ideal collectible or elegant gift. [Appearance] The body shows minor surface scratches and light signs of use, typical of vintage items, but the overall condition is excellent. The opal inlay is beautifully preserved, maintaining its vivid coloration and luster. [Functionality] Ignition and flame confirmed. For continued use, refilling and maintenance are recommended. This rare Cartier lighter not only functions beautifully but also serves as an exceptional display or collector’s item, showcasing the maison’s artistry in metal and gemstone design.
