Cartier is one of the most famous brands in the world with the longest history, and it is also the most popular brand among the noble stars. No matter the advanced jewellery or the wrist-watches. Cartier transmit its exclusive noble values based on its outstanding workmanship, professional technology and unique Style. In 1948, Duches of Windsor was the first to wear the panther series accessories of Cartier. This series included brooch, necklace, bracelet and lorgnette. And the panther model was not only the symbol of personal style of Duchess of Windsor, but also the excellent extant work in the history of Cartier. In the Oscar Academy Award every year, stars walking through the red carpet will wear jewelery assorting with their dress coats. And Cartier is always their best love.

As we all know France is a romantic country. There is a custom in France, which is after the wife gave the birth to the child, in order to express the appreciation to his wife and love to his child, the husband must give a present to his wife. Cartier is always the best choice for them. Its unique jewellery language shows the deepest love.

 
Cartier is also your best choice when you choose wedding rings. Most of the girls are keen on Cartier rings, if the bridegroom puts the Cartier ring into the finger of the bride, I can imagine how happy and sweet she will be, and I believe that moment will be the most memorable time for her, and can also bring about more happiness to your marriage.

The monarch’s hearty endorsement, offered during the Belle Époque at the turn of the 20th century, would be seconded by the patronage of a host of wealthy socialites, countesses and heiresses. There was Barbara Hutton, a bevy of Vanderbilts, assorted expatriate European royalty like the Duchess of Windsor and Princess Grace of Monaco and Hollywood glitterati from Liz Taylor, Vivien Leigh and Fred Astaire to Gloria Swanson, the faded movie queen in “Sunset Boulevard.”

At last, the rest of us have a chance to get up close and personal with jewels possessed by the fortunate few. Focusing primarily on pieces owned by Americans and produced in this country, the exhibition “Cartier and America,” which opened Saturday at the Legion of Honor, is an only-in-San Francisco event showcasing some 300 spectacular objects, including clocks, accessories and jewelry of the Gilded Age and Art Deco eras and beyond. And there’s no shortage of tiaras, bandeaus and Cartier’s signature watches.

Founded in Paris in 1847, the House of Cartier, originally a retailer of goods by other makers, cemented its reputation when it began selling pieces designed in its own workshops. Cognizant of the

abundance of newly minted millionaires in New York City, where more than 300 were rumored to reside, and with moneyed Gilded Age Americans storming the doors of its flagship Paris store on the Rue de la Paix, Cartier established a beachhead on Fifth Avenue in 1909. An astute businessman, Alfred Cartier exchanged $100 and a double strand of pearls — worth about $1 million at the time — for the Beaux Arts mansion occupied by the store to this day. In its own classy, expensive way, Cartier conquered America.

“Americans have always been important customers for Cartier,” exhibition curator Martin Chapman writes in his catalog essay. “By 1900, when the hugely successful Exposition Universelle drew fifty million visitors, Paris was confirmed as the luxury center of the world. Cartier was one of the destinations for Americans,” such as J.P. Morgan and other captains of industry with money to burn, “because it had a reputation for making the finest jewelry for the ruling elites.”

Marking Cartier’s 100th anniversary on these shores, the exhibition illustrates the long-standing, symbiotic link between celebrity and the cachet of luxury goods, those mutually beneficial relationship in which well-known clients and chic, high-end designers bask in each other’s reflected glory.

To that end, buyers or recipients of extravagant Cartier gifts, such as a sun-kissed Liz Taylor, who has had a much publicized obsession with precious stones, are in some instances pictured modeling their jewels, adjacent to the real thing on view in the Legion’s display cases. Tanned and at the height of her sensuous beauty, we see Taylor in a home movie, smiling radiantly beside a pool in Cap-Ferrat, France; her head tilted back, she shows off her exquisite ruby and diamond suite, a present from then-husband Mike Todd. Cartier never looked so good.

Larger baubles from future spouse Richard Burton would follow. He reportedly shelled out a cool $1 million for what became known as the Taylor-Burton diamond. A scrapbook details the public’s excitement over the romance.

A demure Princess Grace, in an official photograph, wears a necklace with three rows of diamonds alternating with baguettes, a tiara mounted with diamond and ruby brooches and the 10.47-carat diamond engagement ring she wore on the set of her last film, “High Society.” It’s a good thing she’s sitting down, though it’s said that Lady Granard, born Beatrice Mills in San Francisco, owned Cartier pieces so enormous she could barely walk under their weight. One of her heavy diamond and emerald necklaces greets visitors at the entrance to the exhibition.

With the exception of cereal heiress Marjorie Merriweather Post’s emerald and diamond pendant shoulder brooch, considered the most outstanding piece Cartier ever made for an American, the Duchess of Windsor topped them all. Her iconic flamingo clip brooch, whose plumage is fashioned from caliber-cut emeralds, rubies and sapphires, was one of many gifts showered on the “woman he loved” by Britain’s King Edward VIII, who would soon abdicate his throne. (It’s said that he bought her a 19.77-carat emerald ring to celebrate her divorce.) The flamingo is on display for the first time in this show.

Highly adaptable and able to change with the times while maintaining exacting standards, Cartier may have done its most adventurous work in the service of fulfilling the fantasies of clients. A fully articulated, slithery serpent necklace with the feel of snakeskin was commissioned by Mexican film star Maria Felix. Made of platinum and white gold, it is as exotic and audacious as the woman who envisioned it. One glance at Felix’s photograph and there’s no doubt she had the flair to pull it off.

Cartier created another articulated necklace for Felix, this one reportedly modeled after a live baby crocodile supplied by the actress, who, as legend has it, took it with her to the Paris store. One section is made from 525 grams of gold and adorned with more than 1,000 yellow diamonds; the other is decorated with more than 1,000 circular cut emeralds; the two bejeweled reptilian snouts overlap at the jugular.

Arriving just in time for the holidays, the exhibition is, if not a guilty pleasure, certainly a vicarious one. It dazzles the eye and may provide gift ideas for that special someone — as long as money is no object. While money isn’t everything, it’s the only thing that buys you Cartier.

So are you a Tiger Woods Rolex person or a Cindy Crawford Omega fan (two more of the celebrity endorsed watches for sale)? Or is it that I just have too much time on my hands?

Like most women, I adore diamonds, precious gems, gold, and fine watches, but I’ve never been attached to any particular brand of jewelry. After all, when people look at a diamond ring, they’re more likely to admire the stone itself than to ask about the ring’s manufacturer.

Of course, I had heard about Cartier jewelry before, and have even observed a few pieces from their collection. I always thought that they would be too expensive for me. However, one day I was able to examine some Cartier jewelry up close and I was able to take a peek at the price tag.

I was surprised that even though the price was high, it certainly wasn’t extremely expensive. I mean, I wouldn’t have to file for bankruptcy to be able to buy the necklace or anything like that. As a result, I decided to buy that special necklace.

The necklace made me feel special every time I wear it. Like all Cartier jewelry, my necklace was luxurious, stylish, and elegant. I was very impressed by the sheer beauty and excellent craftsmanship of my necklace. Because I prefer to have variety in my jewelry, I own a bunch of necklaces.

But I find myself wearing my new necklace all the time. I wore it when I visit the church, at my workplace, on special occasions, and even when I go on informal occasions with my friends. After a few weeks, I wanted add a few more Cartier jewelry to my collection.

I also browsed through websites and auction sites to find better prices on Carter jewelry than those I usually saw at jewelry stores. Fortunately, I was able to find a few reputable websites that offer discount Cartier jewelry. This allowed me to buy my earrings much earlier than I expected.

Since I’m not a millionaire, I had to wait until I had saved enough money to purchase the earrings I wanted next. While I was saving, I visited high-end retailers like Saks Fifth Avenue just to look at Cartier jewelry to keep myself motivated.

Cartier watches made a huge impact to the world. Royalties, aristocrats, businessmen, other rich people were very loyal to these timepieces. Men were not the only patrons; even women grew a large fascination for it which they mostly used as jewelry accessories. These pieces for women were made more elegantly and fashionably.

Thus, Tank Française and Cartier’s Privée Collection (1996), Pasha de Cartier (1985), Panthère (1983), and Baignoire (1957) came out. The Pasha, Santos 100, and Roadster were also revived. Here are a few famous models:
