Cartier

Few jewellers are as celebrated as Cartier, even fewer have as many instantly recognizable designs - some of which, such as the Tank watch, Love bracelet and Trinity ring, have become iconic. Glamorous, witty, beautiful and beloved of stars such as Grace Kelly, over 150 dazzling Cartier pieces are featured here. This book presents jewels from superlative collections, including the V&A and the Royal Collection, as well as Cartier's own private collection and it celebrates the history of the company The Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII, called the 'Jeweller of Kings and the King of Jewellers'.
