Cartier is known for its luxury jewelry. In fact, if you look at top ten lists of jewelry brands, they’re always there. That’s only right because just like Tiffany & Co, Cartier has been around since the 1800s. Cartier is known for its meticulous craftsmanship and attention to quality.
They’ve also been one of the driving forces for innovative jewelry design. They’re known, for example, for original and innovative jewelry lines featuring abstract shapes, geometric forms, and unique color pairings. If you have Cartier you want to sell, you have something historically important to jewelry.
In 1847, Louis-François Cartier took over his mentor's workshop and founded Maison Cartier. This was the start of this iconic brand. Cartier embraced art movements such as neo-classicism, art deco, and modernism. There are very few brands that have iconic pieces in so many different kinds of styles. One thing you’ll find consistent is the panther. The panther is a recognizable symbol of Cartier. It was inspired by the artistic vision of Jeanne Toussaint, who was fascinated by exotic big cats.
Jeanne Toussaint was a remarkable person. In 1933, she became Cartier’s director of jewelry design, the first female in charge of design in the history of the jewelry industry. She designed the panther motif nearly twenty years before she was in charge, and it certainly cemented her status as a brilliant designer.
