Category: Books

Silently stalking its way through Cartier iconography for a century, the panther is the proud leader of the pack of precious animals that make up the famous Cartier menagerie. No other creature or jewel is quite so indissolubly and emotively connected to outstanding 20th-century women of style, to ideals of modern femininity, and has become Cartier’s most iconic motif for a century. A symbol of power, seduction, and triumph since ancient times, the image of the panther never fails to arouse fantasies and dreams.



Featuring texts by art historian Bérénice Geoffroy-Schneiter, jewelry historian Vivienne Becker, jewelry expert Joanna Hardy, and fashion editor André Leon Talley, Cartier Panthère chronicles the panther in art history, the evolution of Cartier panther jewels, the techniques involved in creating a Cartier panther jewel, the influence of the panther in fashion, design, and popular culture, and includes a chronology of 100 years of Cartier panther jewels.

Chloe L. ★★★★★

The photos of the archival jewelry are gorgeous, but the real surprise is how readable the text is for a coffee-table book this size. I've left it open on the dining table for a week and guests keep picking it up.

Timothy D. ★★★★★

The chapter on the panther's evolution through a century of jewelry design is genuinely fascinating, and the close-up shots of the pieces let you see details you'd miss in a museum case. I've flipped through it three times already and keep finding something new.

Timothy ★★★★★

The photos of the panther pieces are gorgeous, and I didn't expect the book to trace a full century of the motif so carefully. I've flipped through it twice already and keep finding little details in the archival shots I missed the first time.
