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.

- 18K Yellow Gold Made in Italy Rutilated Quartz Grounding Asymmetry Cocktail RingBy Beatrice Barzaghi MilanoLocated in Milan, IT18K Yellow Gold Made in Italy Rutilated Quartz Cabochon Grounding Asymmetric Cocktail Ring. Unlock Your Divine Potential with the Anne ring. Gems and metal are energetically cleansed to emit their best vibrations. The Anne ring is made of 18 karat yellow gold and features an high quality oval cabochon cut rutilated quartz. The gem weights is 11.77 carats. The gem measures 16 by 12 by 7.3 millimeters. The total weight of the ring is 9.5 g. The ring is modeled by hand in wax by Italian designer and gemologist (GIA G.G.) Beatrice Barzaghi, then fused in gold, set and polished by hand by the best Italian goldsmiths. Size: EU 54, US 6 ¾ . Resizable to most ring sizes. Beatrice Barzaghi offers free resizing. The head of the ring measures 18.8 millimeters by 15.9 millimeters. The Anne ring features a particular asymmetrical structure which symbolizes the possibility to discover Beauty outside of the classical schemes; it suggests appreciating the unexpected in life. The ring’s lines shaped in wax are material, reconnect us to rooting to the Earth. One side of the ring resembles the shape of a tree and its branches. It would perfect to be wear on the little finger. This ring gets the name from Anne, who inspired me the ring. She needed to rediscover her roots and that’s why the ring and the vibrations emanating from its shape could help her. The result of a kinesiologic test of gemstones helped her to choose her gemstone. Man is influenced by everything around him, especially by the stars to the smallest but powerful stone. The Anne ring, like all my jewels, is conceived as an energetic object, helping the wearer to develop the talents with which he/she was born. Gems and metals form deep into Mother Earth and because of extremely high temperatures and pressure they became energy accumulators, thus they affect the person wearing them. Energies and vibrations of gems are powerful and I proved it with an experiment held in February 2021 conducted by Professor of anatomy Claudia Dellavia of the University of Milan (please contact me for more details). The Anne ring belongs to the Struggle Collection; it is modeled by lost wax technique, represents the worldly and human element, the complexity of the daily quest. While the Enlightenment Collection is modeled by CAD and represents the divine sparkle that shines through Humanity, the Celestial Spheres, the reaching of Enlightenment. The Essence Collection, is modeled by both CAD and lost wax technique and merges their meanings: it represents the path to fulfill human gifts through Matter. All gems and metals need to be energetically cleansed once a month by leaving them in running water for 5 minutes or by keeping them next to a rock crystal overnight. Please contact me for a custom model concerning the size and quality of diamonds or I can search for different significant gems. Rutilated quartz: is an effective integrator of energy at any level. It heightens the energetic impulse of Quartz and is a very efficient vibrational healer. Spiritually, rutilated quartz is said to have a perfect balance of cosmic light...Category
