Capucine Juncker, François Chaille
Flammarion, 2019
L'association rare et audacieuse de pierres précieuses et fines - comme l'amazonite rehaussée de diamants ou de rubis, ou une matrice d'opale associée à des saphirs - crée des combinaisons saisissantes qui constituent le socle d'une approche inédite de la haute joaillerie. Cette passion pour l'infinie diversité des pierres et des matériaux singuliers est fondamentale chez Cartier depuis la création de la maison. De tels amalgames génèrent un dialogue inattendu entre des éléments contrastés : le brut avec l'ornemental, le minéral avec le paysage, les couleurs vives aux nuances changeantes, la terre avec le cosmos. Ce volume magnifiquement conçu - présentant des caractéristiques de production élaborées, notamment de multiples papiers, une reliure suisse, un encart et des illustrations des ateliers - célèbre l'esprit pionnier de Cartier, sa créativité et la beauté surprenante des pierres.

Masterpieces in Miniature, Engraved Gems From Prehistory to the Present
Claudia Wagner, John Boardman
Philip Wilson Publishers, 2018

The creation of miniature intaglios - or incised carvings - which could be impressed on clay or wax was one of the earliest crafts of civilisation. To this the Greeks added relief cameos, while comparable skills were lavished on the decoration of metal finger rings. These artefacts record subjects of significance for their period and place but are also the direct expression of an artist's skills and imagination. Engraved gems were collected first by the ancient Romans and then throughout the Renaissance were a source for knowledge of classical subjects and styles, when they were copied - from Michelangelo to Rubens - by the foremost artists of the day. The gemstones explored here are from a distinguished collection made in the earlier twentieth century by a notable connoisseur of ancient art. Many originate from older European collections and were previously unknown to scholars and collectors. The authors have sought to offer a balanced selection of earlier eastern and Greek stones, alongside others from the neoclassical era. The book offers a survey of the finest products of the gems craft over millennia.

Parcourant silencieusement l'iconographie Cartier depuis un siècle, la panthère est l'heureuse chef de file de la meute d'animaux précieux qui composent la célèbre ménagerie Cartier. Aucune autre créature ou bijou n'est aussi indissolublement et émotionnellement lié aux femmes de style exceptionnelles du 20e siècle, aux idéaux de la féminité moderne, et est devenu le motif le plus emblématique de Cartier depuis un siècle. Symbole de pouvoir, de séduction et de triomphe depuis l'Antiquité, l'image de la panthère ne manque jamais de susciter fantasmes et rêves. Avec des textes de l'historienne de l'art Bérénice Geoffroy-Schneiter, de l'historienne de la joaillerie Vivienne Becker, de l'experte en joaillerie Joanna Hardy et de l'éditeur de mode André Leon Talley, Cartier Panthère raconte la panthère dans l'histoire de l'art, l'évolution des bijoux de panthère Cartier, les techniques impliquées dans la création d'un Cartier bijou panthère, l'influence de la panthère dans la mode, le design et la culture populaire, et comprend une chronologie de 100 ans de bijoux panthère Cartier.
