Few jewellers are as widely known as Cartier, even fewer have as many instantly recognisable designs - some of which, such as the Tank watch, Love bracelet and Trinity ring, have become iconic. Glamorous, witty, beautiful, and beloved of stars such as Grace Kelly, this book features over 150 dazzling Cartier items.

Few jewellers are as celebrated as Cartier, even fewer have as many instantly recognizable designs - some of which, such as the Tank watch, Love bracelet and Trinity ring, have become iconic.

Glamorous, witty, beautiful and beloved of stars such as Grace Kelly, over 150 dazzling Cartier pieces are featured here. This book presents jewels from superlative collections, including the V&A and the Royal Collection, as well as Cartier's own private collection and it celebrates the history of the company The Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII, called the 'Jeweller of Kings and the King of Jewellers'.

Helen Molesworth spent ten years as a jewellery specialist for Sotheby's and Christie's auction houses in London and Geneva, before joining Gubelin as Managing Director to create and run the coloured gemstone Academy. She is now Senior Curator of Jewellery at the Victoria and Albert Museum. Rachel Garrahan is Project Curator at the Victoria and Albert Museum. Before that she was the award-winning Jewellery and Watch Director at British Vogue.
