Cartier jewelry established the international center of jewelry on a street in Paris that is the center of luxury: rue de la Paix . The surname Cartier was originally an occupational name for those born into families whose livelihood was transporting goods. Now, the name Cartier is synonymous with some of the most exquisite jewelry and timepieces ever made.
Cartier jewelry established many trends and classic designs. Cartier jewelry was groundbreaking in their use platinum, bringing the metal to the forefront of jewelry making. Cartier jewelry has also set the bar for designer jewelery. The range of clients include nobility of European and Indian descent, American industry leaders, and celebrities. Cartier jewelry is recognized worldwide as being the best.
Cartier jewelry began their reign as the premier timepiece designer with the creation of the Santos timepiece in1904. The watch was beautiful, functional, and timeless. It also contained large numbers, which would become a Cartier trademark. Cartier watches are available in platinum, yellow, white and pink gold, titanium and gold. These watches are constructed in art deco, classic tank, small dress, larger chronograph, and many other styles.
The Roadster watch series, the Cartier Jewelry homage to the 1950s automobile industry, range in price from $4,000-$28,000, depending on what material is used – the more gold, diamonds, and other gems, the higher the price. The first truly waterproof watch series, the Pasha series, can retail for $5,000-$30,000, the lower price being the basic watch constructed in stainless steel, the higher price range being constructed of gold. Other Cartier jewelry watch types are named based on size of the watch face. Depending on the decoration on the watch face, the 42mm, 35mm, and 32mm are all available beginning at $5,000, going up to $32,000.
Rings are another important component in the Cartier Jewelry collection. In 1925, Cartier released a ring that was actually three Cartier rings. The interconnected platinum, pink gold, and yellow gold became one of the most famous pieces of Cartier jewelry. Appealing to both men and women, the Trinity collection ring is a cult classic that can still be seen today, with a few modern twists.
Cartier rings range from the very basic, but very elegant Trinity to the most daring Panthere de Cartier rings that feature jewel encrusted panther heads prominently placed at the top of the ring, or enveloped into the design. The Le Basier do Dragon collection of rings focuses on the Chinese Empire by using jade and rubies to depict pagodas in ring designs. Prices for Cartier rings can only be speculated. There is no pricing listed and no other jewelry sellers list Cartier rings. Judging from prices on watches, Cartier rings are the type of jewelry where price doesn't really matter to those who are wanting to buy them.
Cartier bracelets exude as much grace, artistry, and elegance as any other pieces in the Cartier jewelry collection. One of the long lasting Cartier bracelet designs in the Cartier jewelry line is the Panthere de Cartier bracelet. The diamond, emerald, sapphire and onyx creation is one of many focusing on the panther. The Secrets de Boudior bracelet invokes the garland style that was first used in the beginning of Cartier's jewelry making and gives it a contemporary touch. Cartier bracelets look priceless and offer no indication of how much it would cost to be the proud owner of one.
The name Cartier has become synonymous with trends as well as classic styles. Cartier jewelry transcends time by the continual quality, unique spirit, and beauty of their jewelry and watches. Any piece of Cartier jewelry can be considered an heirloom to pass down.
