Cartier’s centuries-old development is like a history of jewellery, recording the gorgeous jewels of different periods. Looking back at Cartier’s experience, it is not difficult to find that it has a close relationship with the royal family. Edward VII gave Cartier the title of “King’s Jeweler, King of Jewelers”, and in 1904 Cartier was appointed as a British court supplier. We are honored to present this sapphire jewelry set in this auction. The necklace, bracelet and ring are all designed by Cartier. The suit is gorgeously set with a total of 16 sapphires weighing altogether 124.87 carats, most of which have been graded as “Royal Blue”, with a very strong color saturation, and the intense blue color is evenly distributed. The stones have cushion and oval shapes, and the style of the inlay work is simple yet exquisite. The suite brings out elegance and classical extravagance in its purest form. All eyes that come across it will be amazed by its magnificence.
