Cartier epitomizes creativity and individuality
in jewelry design. The 175 objects featured in this book exemplify
Cartier’s inimitable talent and represent milestones in
twentieth-century design. These archetypes of excellence are
important benchmarks in the history of world jewelry, and their
relevance continues into the twenty-first century. The jeweled
objects in this book are reproduced at actual size, and are
accompanied by illustrations and detailed descriptions from
Cartier’s vast archives in London, New York, and Paris. Six essays
cover a broad range of topics from Cartier’s colorful history,
including the influence of the Ballets Russes on Cartier’s
forward-looking designs of 1910, the jeweler’s extraordinary
technical and design prowess, and the important clients and
collectors who wore Cartier’s most exquisite creations. This book
features ingenious pieces that reveal how Cartier—by setting new
aesthetic, ornamental, technical, and stylistic trends—is a pioneer
in the field of jewelry design. This catalog is an important
reference for collectors, and includes previously unpublished
photographs.
