Experience the UK launch of 'The Cartiers' at the Victoria and Albert Museum, home to one of the world's finest jewelry collections. This special evening features a lecture offering a close-up look at the illustrious history of the Cartier family, with particular focus on the London branch established by Jacques Cartier. Discover how Jacques transformed Cartier London from a small New Burlington Street shop into the preferred jeweler of British royalty and aristocracy. The presentation explores iconic pieces in the V&A's collection and reveals the stories behind Cartier's greatest British commissions. Following the lecture, enjoy drinks at a reception in the museum's elegant spaces, then have your book signed by the author while surrounded by centuries of decorative arts masterpieces.
