The Grand Palais invites its visitors to discover the rich history of one of the greatest houses of jewelry: Cartier. The exhibited creations highlight the key role played by the brand in the history of decorative arts, but also the major steps in the house's evolution, from the classicism of the "jeweler to kings" to the modern pieces, combinations of geometry and exotism. The public will see some royal creations, worn by Kate Middleton and Elizabeth II, as well as pieces from Cartier's bestiary.
