Cartier: 100 Years in America

Cartier is currently celebrating its American centennial the way anyone who's managed to succeed for a century would. The traveling exhibit of its most sparkling achievements arrived in Beverly Hills on June 1st. I just returned from the Rodeo Drive store where I gazed on such creations as Elizabeth Taylor's La Peregrina mid-16th century pearl on a natural pearl, ruby and diamond necklace, Princess Grace's platinum and diamond Poodle Clip-brooch, and a heart-shaped sapphire ring belonging to Sir Elton John. “100 Creations,” includes everything from one-of-a-kind jewels to objects, to pieces celebrities commissioned are on display. The book which is being released June 15, 2009 is called Cartier I Love You.
