Cartier's unique savoir faire, maintained by virtuoso artisans, is combined with perpetually renewed sources of inspiration; together, they have forged the jeweler's international reputation for excellence and singular beauty. This new volume focuses on the precious stones and artistic techniques of Cartier's latest High Jewelry creations: unique and exceptional pieces destined for the most avid and discerning collectors. The gemstones themselves are fascinating, and even more so because, in some cases, their beauty also imparts a story. One of those legendary destinies--that of a historical sapphire--is recounted in this book. Diamonds, emeralds, and sapphires set in Cartier's daring, elegant, and dazzling compositions--each page of this volume is an invitation for readers to admire the master jeweler's most precious treasures.
