It’s the first UK exhibition from the jewellery maison in nearly three decades.

The V&A Museum will play host to an extensive new exhibition this month exploring the history of the French luxury jewellery brand Cartier.

The first UK exhibition from the maison in nearly 30 years, the new show will feature more than 350 objects – including pieces that have been loaned by King Charles from the Royal Collection, as well as other treasures from museums across the world, and private collections.

Charting the rise of Cartier from its inception in 1847 to becoming ‘the jeweller of kings and king of jewellers’, the exhibition looks at the evolution of the house’s legacy in art, design and craftsmanship since the turn of the 20th century, and detail how the three grandsons of founder Louis-François set out to create the first globally recognised jewellery house.
