About Cartier
Since 1847, Cartier has been synonymous with exceptional craftsmanship. The brand’s story
began when Louis-François Cartier took over the workshop of his master, Adolphe Picard, in
Paris. From the very start, Cartier focused on creating exquisite jewelry and watches. His
dedication to quality and attention to detail quickly won over the elite clientele of Paris.
Cartier’s reputation was further solidified in 1902 when King Edward VII of England set even
higher standards for the brand. That year, Cartier crafted 27 tiaras for the coronation and was
officially named the crown’s jeweler. This honor earned Cartier the title "king of jewelers,
jeweler of kings' a legacy that continues to this day.
The Cartier family passed down this legacy through generations, with each member playing a
part in the brand’s global success. In 1964, however, the Cartier family decided to sell the
business. Despite changing hands several times, Cartier has remained true to its commitment to
quality and innovation. Today, the brand is part of the Richemont Group, a leader in luxury
goods.
Unlike other renowned luxury jewelry brands like Van Cleef & Arpels or Tiffany & Co., which
often work with a variety of precious stones, Cartier has a strong focus on diamonds and pieces
crafted in different hues of gold.
Over the years, Cartier has created numerous iconic pieces. From the classic Cartier Love
bracelet to the famous Panther collection and the Trinity line—not to mention a stunning array of
watches—Cartier’s creations have captured hearts around the world. But here, an Nadine Krakov
Collection, we have a special place for vintage Cartier jewelry. We admire the uniqueness and
craftsmanship of our estate pieces, each one with a character and story all its own.
The quality of Cartier’s creations is beyond question. The Maison continues to uphold its
tradition of creativity, innovation, and commitment to its heritage at the highest possible level.
Whether you’re purchasing a Cartier diamond ring or another piece of Cartier jewelry, you’re
becoming the proud owner of a symbol of enduring beauty.
The Cartier 18k gold silverium double panthere cuff bracelet from the 1990s is a striking piece of luxury jewelry that embodies the iconic Cartier Panthère design. This exquisite bracelet features two intricately crafted panther heads facing each other at the open ends of the cuff, creating a bold and sophisticated motif. The bracelet's design showcases a masterful combination of materials. The panther heads are crafted from silverium, a blackened silver, which provides a dramatic contrast to the polished 18k yellow gold cuff. This Cartier Panthère bracelet is not just a piece of jewelry, but a work of art that symbolizes power, grace, and elegance.
