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.

- Cartier Diamond Line Necklace and Pearl Drop Pendant in 18K Yellow GoldBy CartierLocated in Dallas, TXExceptional Cartier Paris diamond line necklace featuring a detachable large pearl drop and diamond pendant. The necklace and pendant boast approximately 12 carats of finest quality diamonds (E-F color and VVS clarity) set in lavish 18 karat yellow gold setting. The necklace, which can be worn in a diamond riviere style (without the pendant), features round brilliant diamonds meticulously set within gold navettes and round bezels in alternating groups of three. They offer incredible sparkle, scintillation, and brightness, further enhanced by a high-polish gold frame. Alteration of navette and bezel shapes gives the necklace remarkable dynamism and enhances fire of its diamonds and their dazzling play with light. Measuring 16 inches (40.6cm) in length, the necklace drapes gracefully and comfortably around the neck. Secure hidden clasp (also set with diamonds) and security latch ensure utmost peace of mind while wearing it. Drop-style enhancer pendant seamlessly attaches to the front center of the necklace. It features an impressive white pearl (measuring 15 by 12 mm) characterized by excellent luster, free of blemishes, and glowing with subtle rose overtones. The pearl is crowned with a fine yellow gold cap encrusted with glittering diamonds of highest Cartier-quality. Pearl-drop pendant measures 1.5 inches (38mm) in length and radiates luxurious feminine glamour as it highlights upper decolletage. The necklace epitomizes classic elegance and luxurious sophistication for which Cartier is celebrated. It offers wonderful versatility to its wearer: the diamond necklace alone can serve as a refined glittering complement to a casual outfit; adding the lavish pearl pendant makes it a superbly glamorous highlight of a dressy one. A true dazzling gem of Cartier craftsmanship and design, this necklace will enchant and delight its new owner. The necklace is a vintage creation no longer made by Cartier making it rare and collectible. It is in excellent condition with Cartier signature, serial number and French hallmarks on both necklace and enhancer pendant.
