TUTTI FRUTTI
Jacques Cartier first grew enamored of Indian jewels at the turn of the 19th century. As the director of Cartier London, he was exposed to the lavish jewels of the Indian princes who often visited Britain. Jacques himself travelled to India in 1911 in an effort to establish Cartier's reputation among the Indian elite. This visit had a profound effect on the jewels produced by the firm throughout the 1920s and 1930s and indirectly affected the entire field of jewellery design which Cartier so strongly influenced.
Few designs have captured the imagination and enthusiasm of connoisseurs and collectors as Cartier's Tutti Frutti creations. These pieces are directly inspired by the intricate Mughal carving and craftsmanship found throughout the decorative arts of India from the 16th century onwards. The incorporation of Indian influences and gemstones into jewels was one of Cartier's greatest contributions to the Art Deco period.
