    One of the famous bird brooches by Cartier, modeled as a caged bird, was created in 1942 by Jeanne Toussaint. That design represented France being under the fascist occupation. After the World War II the brooch was redesigned into a bird about to fly from the open cage.

    Timeless Excellence is Cartier’s second name. The quality standards of the Cartier jewelry were set in 1902 by King George VII. After making 27 tiaras for the coronation, Cartier was announced as the crown’s official jewels seller. Since then, Cartier was proclaimed as “king of jewelry the jeweler of kings.” And this statement is still up to date.

    Comparing to other famous luxury jewelry brands, such as  Van Cleef & Arpels or  Tiffany & Co. who are working with gemstones a lot, Cartier is strictly focusing on diamonds and different color gold.

    Over the time Cartier created a great number of the truly iconic pieces. From a classic Cartier Love bracelet to famous Cartier Panther collection and Cartier Trinity, without mentioning a wide variety of Cartier watches — you name it! But our hearts belong to vintage Cartier jewelry . We appreciate the uniqueness and craftsmanship of our estate pieces. Each of them has a timeless character and tells the most fascinating stories.
