Description:
‘Exoticism’ according to Cartier
Known for drawing inspiration from numerous civilisations in its creations (Japan, Egypt, India...), Cartier turns its attention here to the Far West. With these two ‘Sioux’ brooches, it captures the fascination of the 1930s and its artistic circles—such as literature, the performing arts and even cinema, particularly Hollywood—with this Native American culture.
