A truly French brand, Cartier produces jewelry for men and women, original models of expensive watches and perfume compositions with a particularly subtle sound.
About the brand
Cartier began its history in 1847 with a modest jewelry workshop created by Liou-Francois Cartier, the founder of the future fashion brand. After 20 years, the company presented its original jewelry at one of the major exhibitions in the capital Paris, after which the brand became famous on a large scale. At the beginning of the 20th century, the grandson of the founder of the company created a unique watch that was attached to the hand and was called Santos, which became another impetus to world fame. At the same time, the fashionable jewelry house began to produce wristwatches with jewelry inserts, which was very atypical for that time.
The cult watch model from Cartier is the Tank in the shape of a military vehicle, another popular model in the brand's line is the Pasha model, which is protected from the penetration of water into the mechanism and is ideal for active pastime.The latest model of the Pasha Cartier watch was once created from pure gold, which was another reason for the worldwide popularity of the French jewelry house.
The French jewelry house Cartier has repeatedly created jewelry and watches for the most iconic personalities of its time - for the French rulers and other European and English rich people, which allowed the company to acquire the image of an expensive and not accessible to everyone. Since 1962, Cartier has been divided among three owners, but a decade later, its shares were again in the hands of one.
If earlier a large French workshop specialized in creating unique items intended for sole use, then already in 1972 the brand began mass production of jewelry and watches. Since that time, boutiques of the brand of the same name began to open around the world, bringing even more luxury and unique models of watches and jewelry to countries.

Varieties
In 1914, jewelry with the figure of a graceful panther and its stunning green emerald eyes appeared in the Cartier brand line, which soon became a symbol of the eponymous manufacturer. The popularity of the wild cat in French jewelry grew rapidly, which prompted designers and craftsmen to create a collection called Panthere de Cartier. The Panther collection from Cartier consists of three dozen rings of various sizes - from massive and coarse to refined and thin in their structure. For the manufacture of models with a leopard or panther, the most noble metals were used, such as white and yellow gold of the highest standard or platinum, with diamonds, emeralds, garnets, sapphires, onyxes and other precious stones.
The daring CACTUS DE CARTIER collection stands out with “desert flower” jewelry and includes models of rings, pendants, bracelets and women's earrings set with diamonds and other precious stones.
One of Cartier's most recognizable collections is nail-shaped jewelry "Juste Un Clou", or "Just a Nail" in Russian. It is surprising that the first jewelry was created back in the 70s of the last century, and how relevant laconic jewelry made of white, yellow or rose gold is now. The author of such an unusual and simple design was Aldo Cipullo, who expressed his vision of the creativity of America of those years and the hectic bustle of New York.

The next collection of jewelry house Cartier from the heart of France "Trinity" is a ring with intertwining three threads, and the common name of the release is translated as "troika", or "trinity". The creation of Louis Cartier's "Trinity" collection may have been influenced by the work of the European creator and talented figure Jean Cocteau, who once ordered a prototype of a modern ring from the then owner. Today, the Cartier Trinity collection is especially relevant among lovers and newlyweds, since the meaning of each piece of jewelry is based on the concepts of “fidelity”, “love” and “friendship”, and color variations of yellow, rose and white gold correspond to them. The Trinity Cartier Trinity Ruban series is presented in a limited edition of original rings lavishly decorated with a scattering of diamonds, which can serve as an engagement, engagement, and “weekend” ring.

Cartier's unique and feminine "Diamants Legers de Cartier" ring collection consists of only 4 finger jewelry models, but each of them is so concise that you want to buy at least one of these amazing rings. The thin circumference of a ring with a large diamond resembles an engagement ring and, in principle, will become a wonderful symbol of family well-being.
The Cartier "Tank" collection appeared after the war events in the world, and watch models from the jewelry house's collection of the same name are especially popular. “Tank” rings are discreet and strict in their external design, slightly rough, but their clear lines give the product even more high cost and nobility. In the women's collections there are models of products with beautiful stones of a cold lilac hue.
Cartier engagement rings will be the perfect complement to a woman's married image and will tell about the great love of her chosen one. Rings from the "Lanieres" series have a strict, but relevant and concise design, created from different types of gold: yellow, white or pink. Each of the rings has one small diamond in the center, and polished smooth squares form the basis of the jewelry.
