Cartier has long drawn inspiration from cultures across the globe, weaving diverse artistic traditions into the heart of its high jewellery creations. From the Patiala necklace and Tutti Frutti collection inspired by Mughal architecture and Indian artisanship, to the Japonisme-inspired brooches, the French Maison reinterprets heritage through a lens of refinement and innovation.
