Cartier

Cartier has long had an association with felines, with a panther motif appearing on a wristwatch as early as 1914. When Jeanne Toussaint

became the ‘Directrice a la Haute Joaillerie’ in 1933, Louis Cartier referred to her as ‘The Panther’ both for her indomitable personality and tastes for

exotic motifs. Toussaint was to have a profound influence on Cartier jewels, adopting the panther and numerous other animals, and for over

thirty years oversaw the creation of the most sophisticated pieces.

The 1960s is considered to be the zenith in the career of the remarkable jeweler Harry Winston, of which the present sapphire ear clips are an

outstanding example. Known for his instinctive love and knowledge of precious gemstones, Winston combined classic design with sparing

use of color, which allowed the stones to do the talking.

Viren Bhagat

Inspiration for Viren Bhagat comes from the celebrated period of India’s past, taking the best of older jewelry forms prevalent

in the the Mughal decorative arts of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and making them feel new and contemporary.

Natural Pearls

Magnificent in their luminosity and iridescence, natural pearls are the only gems perfect in themselves; their natural beauty unaided by cutting, faceting or polishing.

In many cultures, natural pearls represent purity, and have been the preferred symbol of wealth, rank and authority of kings and emperors throughout the world.

The simple and elegant nature of the pearl makes it one of the most enduring of jewels, and the near exhaustion of resources has led to a finite supply of these gems

and explains their ever increasing value. Though currently all but exhausted, the most consistent producer of high quality pearls historically was the Persian Gulf,

where one can presume the present strands originated.

Cartier: The Mystery Clock

Mysterious because the platinum and diamond-set hands simply float in the midst of the transparent rock crystal. The secret is that the mechanism is hidden in the side columns and base, and the dial

consists of two crystal plates that have a hand fixed to each side. The cog mechanism, also hidden within the borders, moves the two

parallel disks so the the hands appear to mysteriously rotate.

Cartier: Tutti Frutti

Few jewels have captured the imagination and enthusiasm of collec-tors as the ‘Tutti Frutti’ creations by Cartier. The style was originally called simply ‘pierres de couleur’ (colored stones). Only in the 1940s

was it named ‘Tutti Frutti’, probably inspired by the fruit jewelry which was famously worn by Carmen Miranda in her number ‘The

Lady in the Tutti Frutti Hat’ in the 1943 film The Gang’s All Here. Emblazoned with strikingly engraved gemstones of varied hues, the style is a direct translation of the colorful enamel seen on the reverse

of India’s traditional jewels, which inspired something of a craze in Europe between the wars. The emphasis on the carved texture con-trasts with the white geometrical design more commonly found in Art Deco jewels and introduces nature in the design with the inclu-

sion of gems carved in leaf, berry and blossom shapes.

Cartier: Egyptian Revival

The arts of ancient Egypt held a fascination for designers in the first two decades of the twentieth century; this craze intensifying after

each new discovery. In 1908, a royal tomb at Thebes was discovered and six years later the Pyramid of Sesostris II was excavated. But it

was Howard Carter’s opening of the tomb of Tutankhamen in 1922 that precipitated a veritable rage. Soon, pharaonic motifs appeared

in all aspects of the decorative arts, particularly in jewelry design. –

Verdura Meets Chanel

In the 1930s, Coco Chanel approached her friend Fulco di Verdura about designing a pair of cuff bracelets. Fulco’s brilliantly colored byzantine

inspired aesthetic complemented the new direction espoused by Chanel, who at the time had been strongly influenced by her affair with Grand Duke Dimitri of Russia. Fulco’s design, two unique yet complimentary

cuffs in enamel over silver, each centered upon a Maltese cross, set with stones in a colorful array of sizes and shapes. The bracelets became a signature of Chanel’s, who wore them constantly, and to this day the

Maltese cross remains an important design element in both Verdura and Chanel’s collections. To mark the 70th anniversary of its founding,

Verdura created a limited edition of 70 cuffs that replicate the Chanel originals, these set in enamel over gold.

unusual color combinations and smooth, rounded shapes, as well as for the large use of yellow gold.

Bulgari’s most recognizable timepiece, the sinuous and flexible snake watch, dates back to the 1940s. Bold, with serpent-like coils

and bright enamel plaques, each terminates with a jeweled head concealing the dial. The snake watch has grown to become an

unmistakable icon of both jeweled bracelet watches and of the House of Bulgari.

Boivin

From 1917 to 1959,the House of Boivin was run by Jeanne Boivin, widow of its founder, in close cooperation with her daughter Germaine and designer Juliette Moutard, all of whom had a

predilection for pieces inspired by the animal kingdom. Elephants naturally played a premiere role; bejeweled with vibrant colored

gems and accented by dangling baguette-cut diamonds. It sits among Boivin’s more elegant jewels, and provides a lovely example of the

vivid imaginations of the female trio. –

Cartier

The idea for this curiously misshapen watch is said to have been inspired in 1967 by a Cartier client who wished to celebrate

his good fortune having survived an unpleasant accident. Its surrealist shape demanded perfection in the art of

the watchmaker. First launched in a limited edition of twelve, the model continues to be produced in variations of the original.
