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.
