There are few names in the jewellery world more notable, more luxurious and with a more important legacy than Cartier. Worn by Queen Elizabeth II, Grace Kelly and Princess Margaret, alongside celebrity royalty like Rihanna, the brand has created some of the most recognisable pieces that have gone on to become a part of fashion history.
Now, for the first time in over 30 years, the V&A museum is staging the UK’s first major exhibition showcasing Cartier’s iconic jewels and watches. Open from April 12th to November 16th, 2025, the exhibition features more than 350 objects and takes visitors on a journey through the Parisian jeweller's illustrious history, showcasing its dedication to craftsmanship and design, and illustrating what it takes to become known as "the jeweller of kings and the king of jewellers" (as King Edward VII so aptly put it).
