CARTIER: JEWELLERS TO ROYALTY AND THE STARS
With tiaras for the Coronation in 1902 and again for the Delhi Durbar in 1911, Cartier became synonymous with royalty, including their late Majesties the Queen Mother and Queen Elizabeth. The interwar years saw the creation of some of the most spectacular pieces and the post war years, with stars such as Elizabeth Taylor and Grace Kelly as clients, confirmed Cartier as the jeweller to Royalty and the Stars.
