Mini Story or Hook

A beautifully produced late-1990s Cartier reference book celebrating the history, craftsmanship and extraordinary jewellery creations of one of the world’s most famous luxury houses.

Beginning with Louis-François Cartier’s establishment of the House of Cartier in Paris in 1847, the book traces the development of the celebrated maison while showcasing spectacular Cartier jewellery, precious stones and design.

Executive edited by noted Cartier author François Chaille, Cartier Jewelry Glossary combines historical information with lavish colour photography, making it both a useful reference and a striking display book.

A particularly appealing piece for collectors of Cartier memorabilia, jewellery books, luxury fashion publications and decorative coffee-table books.
