Official accompaniment to the Cartier exhibition at V&A South Kensington, this beautiful book is illustrated with rich photography of featured objects alongside insight from our curators. A must-have for fans of couture jewellery.
Few jewellers are as celebrated globally as Cartier, and even fewer have as many instantly recognizable designs. Glamourous, witty, beautiful and beloved by stars from Elizabeth Taylor and Andy Warhol to Grace Kelly, their iconic pieces – such as the Tank watch, Love bracelet and Trinity ring – each reflect the spirit of their moment in time. Described as the ‘Jeweller of Kings and the King of Jewellers’ by King Edward VII, this book explores the history of Maison Cartier, its signature style and its embrace of progress and modernity.
‘a rich visual and historical narrative of the Maison’, Maddie Vans Agnew, Daily Mail, 30 May 2025.
‘a catalogue of sumptuous jewellery that most of us can only dream of wearing and owning.’ ArtMuseLondon, 14 Apr 2025.
