Cartier
Selling Your Cartier Jewelry Can Make You Feel As Luxurious As When You Bought It.
Cartier was founded in Paris, France in 1847 by Louis-François Cartier. His grandsons, Louis, Pierre, and Jacques, were instrumental in developing the company into a global brand. Initially, Cartier’s focus was high jewelry, but eventually, they introduced the world’s first wristwatch, the “Santos,” in 1911. The Santos was one of the first of its kind, a wristwatch created for the Brazilian aviator, Alberto Santos-Dumont. In addition to this first of many watch innovations, Louis Cartier was the first to use platinum in high jewelry designs after noticing that not only did it have a high shine, but it did not tarnish as silver did. This discovery was among many notable achievements, including acquiring the Hope Diamond, purchasing the current Fifth Avenue Cartier Mansion for a double strand of natural pearls, and working with the Maharaja of Patiala’s ceremonial necklace. Cartier continues to build upon this legacy by introducing new jewelry and watch collections that are not only beautiful but effortlessly iconic.
