Back in January when I visited Paris, one of the most interesting things I did is visit the Cartier exhibition in Paris - Cartier: Style and History. There were around 600 pieces of jewellery, watches, clocks and different exhibits teamed with clothes and accessories, advertising photographs, engravings and fashion magazines.
I absolutely loved it, Cartier is one of the oldest jewellers around worldwide, it was founded in Paris, in 1847 by Louis-François Cartier and has always been synonymous with movie stars and royalty. It was famously favoured by both Grace Kelly and Elizabeth Taylor.
The exhibit was wonderful, with artistic projections being continually projected onto the surrounding walls and a mix of both jewellery and interesting exhibits such as the first advertising campaigns and the first appearance of Cartier jewellery in fashion magazines.
Unfortunately I couldn't snap pictures of the exhibits that related to costume but I did manage to snap a lot of the most interesting jewellery pieces.. check them out below:
