Consider this: every potential bidder on a Cartier “Love” bracelet has two alternatives. Either they place a bid on an item brought by a respectable auction house (like Skinner, for example) or they bid on the bracelet you try to sell – but with no warranty of the better price. use an escrow company!

The House of Cartier kept detailed, meticulous records which is a blessing for historians of 20th century jewelry. In the early 20th century, Cartier was known for its “Garland” style, which used the fineness and strength of platinum wire to create settings of lacy delicacy. As fashions changed in the 1920s, the sautoir became the signature jewel, as its long, vertical line complemented the starkly vertical lines of flapper fashions. With the discovery of King Tut’s tomb, the House of Cartier developed an Egyptian revival line of jewelry and vanity cases. In 1925, the Indian line became fashionable, the Indian Maharajahs came to Cartier to reset their fabulous gems in platinum (modern and fashionable) rather than gold (in Indian tradition, the only proper metal for setting gems).

Cartier-Bresson retired from photography in the early 1970s and by 1975 no longer took pictures other than an occasional private portrait; he said he kept his camera in a safe at his house and rarely took it out. He returned to drawing and painting. After a lifetime of developing his artistic vision through photography, he said, "All I care about these days is painting รข€” photography has never been more than a way into painting, a sort of instant drawing."
