A name to set any pulse racing is that of Cartier. From a diamond set swizzle-stick or a Tutti-Frutti necklace, or resetting jewels for the Maharajah of Patiala, there was only one place to go and that was Cartier.

We will hear the captivating story of the three Cartier brothers who turned their grandfather’s humble Persian jewellery store into a name that speaks of luxury, elegance and style.

It is a name which will be celebrated at the forthcoming exhibition in London, for which Nicholas Merchant, our popular “in-house” lecturer has prepared an introductory talk.
