  1. Popularity of Cartier Jewelry Both in the Old Days and at Present Cartier was once referred to as "the jeweller of kings and the king of jewellers" by King Edward VII. Kings and queens all across the world, from Spain to England, Belgium to Russia, India to Siam, made Cartier the leading manufacturer of royal jewelry. History of Cartier The House of Cartier was established in 1847 when Louis-François Cartier, then 28 years old, acquired a store at 29 rue Montorgueil in Paris. In 1874, when Alfred took over management of the business, it was already well-known. But it was Alfred's three sons, Louis, Pierre, and Jacques, who would make Cartier a well-known jewelry company. Vintage Cartier jewelry fetches great prices and some of the less expensive pieces are available with reputable online jewelry stores in the USA. Today the house of Cartier is still among the leading brands and apart from their modern pieces even the old time vintage pieces are quite popular. Let us look at some of the popular and well known styles and pieces. Great cats With the introduction of a wristwatch with an onyx-spotted panther pattern in 1914, renowned French designer Charles Jacqueau introduced the first iteration of the

The original pattern has developed over time into completely sculpted animals, and the variety of cats has grown to encompass both the tiger and the panther. TuttiFruti This genre of jewelry was inspired by the colorful jewelry of India. The house of Cartier was inspired to create the TuttiFruti style when Jacques visited India to acquire some colorful gems at reasonable prices. The Parisian craftsmen incorporated Indian motifs into a brand-new type of multi-gem jewelry that was very different from the usual severity of pieces made entirely of diamonds in the Art Deco period. This style came to be known as Cartier's "TuttiFrutti." Along with the modern pieces from the house of Cartier vintage Cartier jewelry is equally popular today.
