Louis-François Cartier took over the jewelry workshop of his apprenticeship master Adolphe Picard in Paris starting in 1819. In 1909 they opened their first subsidiary in New York on Fifth Avenue making this year their 100th Anniversary celebration in America. After more than 19 decades the company has been passed through the generations, growing exponentially with countless aristocratic customers. Cartier offers some of the most exquisite jewelry designs that are as beautiful as they are timeless.
