Cartier

Exhibition at the V&A, London, 12 April – 16 November 2025

Few jewellers are as famous around the world as Cartier, and even fewer have such instantly recognisable designs. Glamorous, witty and beloved by stars from Grace Kelly and Elizabeth Taylor to Andy Warhol, iconic pieces such as the Tank watch, the Love bracelet and the Trinity ring each reflect the spirit of their era.

Featuring over 350 objects, this exhibition catalogue explores Cartier's creativity and the emergence of its distinctive style under the leadership of Louis, Pierre and Jacques Cartier and their father Alfred, the legacy of its technical ingenuity and craftsmanship, and its sophisticated approach to image creation and maintaining its heritage and relevance in a changing world.
