Cartier
For its extraordinary range of bracelets, watches, rings and other adornments, French luxury house Cartier is undeniably one of the most well known and internationally revered jewelers in the world among clients both existing and aspirational.
Perhaps 1847 was not the ideal time to open a new watchmaking and jewelry business, as the French Revolution was not kind to the aristocracy who could afford such luxuries. Nevertheless, it was the year Louis-François Cartier (1819–1904) — who was born into poverty — founded his eponymous empire, assuming control of the workshop of watchmaker Adolphe Picard, under whom he had previously been employed as an assistant. Of course, in the beginning, it was a relatively modest affair, but by the late 1850s, Cartier had its first royal client, Princess Mathilde Bonaparte, niece of Napoleon Bonaparte, who commissioned the jeweler to design brooches, earrings and other accessories.
Under the leadership of Louis-François’s son, Alfred, who took over in 1874, business boomed. Royalty around the world wore Cartier pieces, including Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, the Maharaja of Patiala and King Edward VII, who had 27 tiaras made by the jewelry house for his coronation in 1902 and issued Cartier a royal warrant in 1904. (Today, the British royal family still dons Cartier pieces; Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge, regularly sports a Ballon Bleu de Cartier watch.)
Cartier’s golden years, however, began when Alfred introduced his three sons, Louis, Pierre and Jacques, to the business. The brothers expanded Cartier globally: Louis reigned in Paris, Pierre in New York and Jacques in London, ensuring their brand’s consistency at their branches across the world. The trio also brought in such talents as Charles Jacqueau and Jeanne Toussaint.
One of Cartier’s earliest major successes was the Santos de Cartier watch — one of the world's first modern wristwatches for men. (Previously, a large number of people were using only pocket watches.) Louis designed the timepiece in 1904 for his friend, popular Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont, who wanted to be able to check the time more easily while flying.
Cartier’s other famous timepieces include the Tank watch, which was inspired by the linear form of military tanks during World War I, and the so-called mystery clocks. Invented by watchmaker and magician Jean-Eugène Robert-Houdin and later crafted exclusively for Cartier in the house’s workshop by watchmaker Maurice Couët, the mystery clocks were so named because the integration of glass dials on which the clocks’ hands would seemingly float as well as structures that are hidden away within the base give the illusion that they operate without machinery.
On the jewelry side of the business, Cartier’s internationally renowned offerings include the Tutti Frutti collection, which featured colorful carved gemstones inspired by Jacques’s trip to India and grew in popularity during the Art Deco years; the panthère motif, which has been incorporated into everything from brooches to rings; and the Love bracelet, a minimal, modernist locking bangle inspired by medieval chastity belts that transformed fine jewelry.
While the Cartier family sold the business following the death of Pierre in 1964, the brand continues to innovate today, renewing old hits and creating new masterpieces.

$4,000 Sale Price20% OffFree Shipping - Love Chain Mesh and Blue Heart Charm 18K Yellow Gold Romantic Pendant NecklaceBy Rossella UgoliniLocated in Rome, ITRossella Ugolini Design Collection, 18 Karat Yellow Gold Slightly Hammered "Little Hearts" Necklace. The chain is linked by hand and slightly hammered to fit the perfect necklace shape. A Romantic necklace handcrafted in 18 karats Yellow Gold and embellished with a Blue Heart shape Agate Charm that fits every outfit due to its simplicity. Thanks to its open mesh heart shaped, you can adjust the length on the neck and hanging more charme. The intense color of the Blue Agate stands out on all skin types. Blue is the color of deep thought that is well linked to the shape of the heart that represents love. A love gift openly inspired by the meaning of the Heart with the Feather shape of the arrow linked to Love, Cupid, Emotion. Chain and Charme dedicated to love, what symbol if not the heart can represent a feeling that has been written, sung and imagined so much…? The heart is not only a throbbing organ that we have in the chest but it is also the symbol of a deep feeling, of a bond that tends to be eternal: of a friendship that smells of love, of a long relationship or of a couple who he wants to find himself overcoming all adversities. The heart is a trend motif in accessories. Right now, in jewelry and accessories the heart is one of the most popular motifs (from the Aria clutch by Gucci to the earrings by Balenciaga and Isabel Marant, to the bags by Chanel), and therefore even a heart necklace can become one of the jewels more ubiquitous. Even more important is the message behind it: More and more people have begun to buy hearts for themselves, as an emblem of self-love and power. Agate Stone has a meaning: Agate enhances mental function, improving concentration, perception, and analytical abilities. It soothes and calms, healing inner anger or tension and creates a sense of security and safety. This Heart Charm is entirely manufactured, in an artisanal way, in Rome, Italy and every step of the process is carefully executed. Details: Love Chain mesh and Blue Heart Charm...Category
