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.

- Vintage Harry Winston 2.02 Carat Diamond Engagement Ring GIA, circa 1980sBy Harry WinstonLocated in Bellmore, NYElevate your love story with this extraordinary Vintage Harry Winston Diamond Engagement Ring, a true testament to the timeless allure of one of the world's most prestigious jewelers. Crafted in the 1980s, this piece features a stunning 2.02 carat round brilliant cut diamond of impeccable quality, exuding the enduring elegance and craftsmanship synonymous with the Harry Winston legacy. At the heart of this exquisite ring is a resplendent 2.02 carat round diamond, certified by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) as an E color with a VS1 clarity. This exceptional diamond, with its brilliant white hue and remarkable clarity, is a testament to Harry Winston's commitment to sourcing only the most exceptional stones. Flanking the center diamond are six tapered baguette diamonds, 0.74 carats total diamond weight, each meticulously selected to complement and enhance the brilliance of the centerpiece. These side stones add a touch of sophistication and symmetry, creating a balanced and harmonious design. The classic round brilliant-cut center diamond, paired with the geometric precision of the baguette side stones, epitomizes the enduring elegance that defines Harry Winston's creations. The ring's design is a celebration of clean lines, symmetry, and a commitment to showcasing the inherent beauty of the diamonds.

Instead of the more traditional single prong per side, this setting features two prongs on each corner of the center stone. This double prong design not only offers additional security for the diamond, but it also adds a distinctive touch of refinement to the overall aesthetic that is a signature element of Harry Winston rings.
