The Jeweler of Kings

Founded in Paris in 1847, Cartier earned the title ‘Jeweler of Kings, King of Jewelers’ from King Edward VII of England. The Maison has created some of the world’s most legendary jewels, from the Hope Diamond setting to bespoke pieces for royal families, heads of state, and the global elite.

Iconic Collections

Cartier’s design heritage includes some of jewelry’s most recognizable creations: the Love bracelet, the Juste un Clou bracelet, the Trinity ring, the Tank watch, and the Panthere motif. These iconic pieces have achieved remarkable longevity, remaining commercially vital decades after their introduction.

Global Luxury Leader

As the flagship brand of Richemont, Cartier is the world’s most valuable jewelry brand and a dominant force in the hard luxury market. Its combination of high jewelry expertise, accessible luxury icons, and watches positions it as a comprehensive luxury destination with appeal across cultures and generations.
