Cartier Jewels On Exhibit In San Francisco
Filed under: Jewelry
Lovers of Cartier jewelry can feast their eyes at the Cartier and America exhibition opening up today at the Legion of Honor in San Francisco. The exhibit includes over 300 rare and exquisite jewelry items from the early 20th century Belle Epoque period through the 1970s. Cartier became known as the king of jewelers during the Belle Epoque period and made jewelry for the courts of Europe and Americans of the Gilded Age. The show focuses on the jewelry but also on the famous American who owned the pieces. There are three main themes to the exhibit, the dazzling gems, jewelry owned by movie stars and a display of Cartier's famous Mystery clocks. Pieces featured include items of Princess Grace of Monaco's personal jewelry, including her 10.47-carat emerald-cut diamond ring with two baguettes set in platinum, her diamond necklace and signature gold "bird" brooches. The exhibit includes pieces from the private collection of Cartier and has been extended to run through May 9.
