High jewelry by cartier – contemporary creations

Featuring over 300 color images, many of them full-page, this book presents Cartier's contemporary collections. Eight chapters trace the artistic threads and historic sources that have shaped the firm's style, such as famous gemstones, the importance of pure, clean lines and balanced colors, and the flora and distinctive feline shapes that characterize Cartier's pieces. Design sketches and period photographs complement images, telling the stories of past creations and explaining the evolution of contemporary designs.
