\n\t\t\t\tIn just two weeks\u2019 time, a showcase of one of the world\u2019s most impressive jewellery collections will begin at the National Gallery of Victoria. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n

More than 350 tiaras, brooches, timepieces, and necklaces from Cartier will appear as part of the Melbourne Winter Masterpieces collection, opening on 12 June and closing on 4 October.<\/p>\n

The exhibition includes Cartier\u2019s Scroll Tiara, crafted in 1902 in the brand’s signature \u2018Garland style\u2019 and worn by Clementine Churchill at the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953.<\/p>\n

Other highlights include the Sun Tiara of 1907, with a 32-carat fancy intense yellow diamond at its centre, and the Art Deco diamond-and-platinum Halo Tiara of 1934, inspired by Ancient Egypt.<\/p>\n

“Featuring nearly 400 extraordinary jewels, gems, and jewellery objects, the exhibition traces the evolution of Cartier\u2019s enduring legacy in art, design and craftsmanship,” the organisers explain.<\/p>\n

“Spanning the Maison\u2019s early years at the turn of the 20th century through to its most contemporary creations, the exhibition chronicles the story of Cartier\u2019s rise, told through works commissioned, owned and worn by royalty and Hollywood stars alike.<\/p>\n

“Design drawings, sketchbooks and photographs from the Cartier archives illuminate the creative process behind the works, offering a rare glimpse into their exceptional craftsmanship.”<\/p>\n

Cartier was founded in Paris by watchmaker Louis-Fran\u00e7ois Cartier in 1847. His grandsons, Pierre, Louis, and Jacques, took the jewellery brand to London and New York, and King Edward VII described Cartier as the \u201cjeweller of kings and the king of jewellers\u201d in 1904.<\/p>\n

Among the collection are pieces worn by Elizabeth Taylor, Princess Margaret, the Duchess of Windsor, and Rihanna. The Cartier Collection exhibition has been on display at the V&A Museum in London since April 2025.<\/p>\n
