The bird brooch that defied the Nazis: Cartier’s diamond menagerie – in pictures
Cartier is bringing its exhibition of over 350 jewels, including gemstones the size of golf balls, to the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne as part of the gallery’s Winter Masterpieces series. The show, which had a sell-out run at London’s Victoria and Albert Museum, traces how brothers Louis, Pierre, and Jacques Cartier transformed their grandfather’s small Parisian business into a global jewelry empire, with many pieces inspired by the natural world.
