The arts and crafts of India are a recurring point of reference in the Maison Cartier collections. The foundation for this was laid by Jacques Cartier's (1884-1942) close contacts with the Indian maharajas in particular. Since his first trip to India in 1911, he had been able to build up close relationships with the rulers of the subcontinent, who had their spectacular gemstones - particularly diamonds, emeralds and rubies - recut by Cartier. The intense colours, ornate cuts and typical motifs were particularly characteristic of Cartier's Art Deco collections, but designers at Place Vendôme continued to revisit this special heritage. In 1991, the time had come once again and Cartier launched the "Sur la Route des Indes" collection - on the way to India. The designs were all adorned with colorful gemstones, which were often engraved and cut using ancient techniques, just like the Indian jewels that Cartier had re-set at the beginning of the century and which are now famous as "Tutti Frutti" or "Hindou Jewels", see here. This ring is from the "Sur la Route des Indes" collection. It is made from high-carat gold in the form of a wide, sweeping band ring. The design curves over the finger; sparkling diamonds and aquamarines cut into leaves are set in a field of black enamel. The black enamel is a reference to Art Deco jewellery. The overall impression of the ring, which is characterized by broad lines and the wide yellow gold settings for the white diamonds, is nevertheless very modern and typical of the period around 1990. The ring has been preserved in its original Cartier case in very good condition without any damage. Originally created in ring size 58, its previous owners had it reduced to size 57. On this occasion, the marks and engravings on the inside of the ring were partially polished out. However, the typical Maison name is still intact in the ring.

"Tiffany! Cartier! Come on Harry Winston, tell me all about it!" More than any other jeweler in the world, the name Cartier is synonymous with first-class jewellery from a world of luxury. The house on Place Vendôme is particularly famous for Edward VIII's luxurious commissions for his wife Wallis Simpson, who commissioned such sensational pieces in Paris as the large flamingo brooch, which was recently auctioned at Sotheby's. Today, as then, Cartier's goldsmith works are safe investments and enchanting small works of art in their own right. However, sought-after vintage pieces of jewellery from the company are rarely on the market, as ladies who once owned a Cartier piece of jewellery are too reluctant to part with it again.
