Cartier

The stunningly beautiful coffee-table book "Cartier," published especially for the Cartier exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum, presents the history and jewelry of the iconic luxury brand. Illustrated with rich photography of the objects and insight from curators Helen Molesworth and Rachel Garrahan, the book is a must-have for fans of Cartier and couture jewelry.

Few jewelers are as celebrated worldwide as Cartier, and even fewer have so many instantly recognizable designs. Glamourous, witty, beautiful and beloved by stars from Elizabeth Taylor and Andy Warhol to Grace Kelly. Their iconic pieces - such as the Tank watch, the Love bracelet and the Trinity ring - each reflect the spirit of their moment in time. Described as the "Jeweler of Kings and the King of Jewelers" by King Edward VII, this book explores Maison Cartier's history, its distinctive style and its embrace of progress and modernity.

The book presents more than 350 pieces of Cartier jewelry, including precious jewels, historic gemstones, iconic watches and clocks, charting the evolution of Cartier's legacy of art, design and craftsmanship since the early 20th century.
