The only one I can think of that fits your description is the Chrysanthemum brooch. Bad photo but you get it. Mid century...
Like these? A Cartier family brooch and the original Tutti Frutti design. 😁
Once Cartier figured out platinum supports instead of white gold, everyone ran with it. Garland style just rocks...
The Historic Congressional Cemetery has a Halloween event based on a theme and highlighting local history. Obviously with people buried there. I do costume guiding because it's fun. And I volunteer there. Come to Soul Strolls if you're here in October!
Live in SE DC and it was like being under siege. Sleeping wasn't exactly part of my night
Had a wonderful time. Mom wanted to see the Sistine Chapel. Which is amazing. Smaller and darker than you think. But wow. Went to cooking school, ate artichokes in the Ghetto, toured the necropolis of St Peter's basilica and the Forum.
@juliethecranky.bsky.social hold on to your blood pressure. Saw this *hot mess* on a walk and was like really?
@juliethecranky.bsky.social and of course....those damn Panthers going art deco
Cartier regularly does exhibitions. There's 1 in Rome and 1 in Australia somewhere. They own a Lot of what we see. Duchess of Windsor stuff was bought for the Cartier Collection. It's about the historical archives and design style as well as control of the product. Esp famous things. Like...
I have many photos. But you said you liked the carved jewelry. Oh have a carved gems tiara....modern tutti frutti style.
Something like this? All from the recent exhibition in London. The rock crystal tiara was on my personal heist list 👌
Ah I have been summoned!! 🤣 Strike up the band! Old Cartier da fa doo lalalala.
Not all Cartier but I think all French. All about early 20th century. Louis had competition. All at the V&A
