Description
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.

Reviews"The eminent house of luxury jewelry is known for enduring excellence as well as constant innovation. Admire this collection of treasures in this volume of Cartier creations." -THE SOCIETY DIARIES "How can this book be adequately reviewed when there are not possibly enough superlatives to describe and discuss Cartier Dazzling: High Jewelry and Precious Objects? Dazzling, as in the title, even seems to be understating the contents of this wondrous and spectacular monograph about one of the greatest heritage brands of our time. This is one of those books that come along once in a very long time. . . Unquestionably this is one of the great books of its genre." -NY JOURNAL OF BOOKS "[Cartier Dazzling] offers a glorious look at the jewelry house's latest high jewelry collection, Etourdissant . . . For those looking for glimpses of vintage glamour, the tome does not disappoint." -RubyLux.com
