EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken in 1957, we witness a dedicated mounter at work in the prestigious Cartier workshop, located on the second floor of the firm's New Bond Street headquarters in London. The mounter's focused expression and meticulous attention to detail reveal the depth of craftsmanship and artistry that goes into creating each exquisite Cartier brooch. With tweezers in hand, the mounter carefully places gemstones onto the intricately designed brooch, following the model in clay that sits to his left. The model, a three-dimensional representation of the final piece, provides the mounter with a clear guide for the precise placement of each stone. To his right, a row of diamonds, set out in wax, await their turn to be meticulously set into place. The diamonds, shimmering in the soft light, reflect the history and allure of the Cartier brand, synonymous with luxury and elegance. The mounter's skillful hands and unwavering focus embody the precision and dedication required to bring these timeless pieces of jewellery to life. The 1950s brooch, with its intricate design and exquisite gemstones, represents the pinnacle of Cartier's craftsmanship and the enduring legacy of its master jewellers. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the world of Cartier's workshop, where the fusion of art, history, and craftsmanship continues to captivate and inspire.
