The book focuses on the refined, elegant jewelry embraced by royalty and wealthy Americans during the Gilded Age; the bold colour and geometry of Art Deco jewelry; the exotic tutti frutti jewelry and fabulously eclectic mystery clocks inspired by the intoxicating productions of the Ballets Russes and archaeological discoveries such as the treasures of Tutankhamun’s tomb; the elegant smoking accessories that became a necessity for fashionable men and women alike; the wristwatch and other handsome, finely crafted items that appealed to men; the strong, assertive jewelry, clocks and accessories designed for the glamorous, cosmopolitan jetsetter; and of course the magnificent jewels and accessories owned by women of impeccable style and influence, from socialites to celebrities and actresses.

Items owned by Daisy Fellowes, the Duchess of Windsor, Princess Grace, Barbara Hutton, Elizabeth Taylor and María Félix are featured.

Throughout, specially commissioned photographs of Cartier’s legendary jewels and objects are accompanied by vintage photographs – drawn from the Condé Nast and Cartier archives – of royals, socialites and Hollywood stars in their Cartier finery, including work by Steichen, Horst, Rawlings, Beaton and Charbonneau.

Cartier in the 20th Century is published in association with the Denver Art Museum.
