The official volume accompanying the landmark exhibition at the Victoria & Albert Museum, this exquisite book celebrates the timeless brilliance of Maison Cartier—crowned by King Edward VII as "the Jeweller of Kings and the King of Jewellers." Illustrated with rich archival photography and curated research, it delves into the origins, craftsmanship, and evolution of iconic designs that defined eras, from the architectural Tank watch and the Trinity ring to the enduring Love bracelet. Spanning Cartier's royal patronage, historic high jewelry commissions, and pieces beloved by figures like Elizabeth Taylor, Andy Warhol, and Grace Kelly, this volume captures the maison's rare ability to marry classical elegance with fearless modernity.
