Manage episode 493044865 series 2859672
In this special series of Gem Pursuit, we put a spotlight on some of the most important Cartier pieces of the 20th century, currently on display at the V&A museum in London.
In each episode, we take a closer look at a different extraordinary piece, uncovering its story, design, and place in jewellery history.
This is your audio guide to the Opal Tiara, once worn by Mary Alice Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire. Set with luminous opals and shimmering diamonds, this ethereal tiara captures a moment when Cartier reimagined regal tradition with a fresh, modern elegance. In this episode, we explore the design that crowned a duchess and the craftsmanship that makes it timeless.
This item can currently be admired up close in the Tiara Room at the V&A exhibition in London - the final gallery of the exhibition.
If you can't make it to the exhibit, check out the V&A website and view the pieces for yourself.
