Reviews

"The eminent house of luxury jewelry is known for enduring excellence as well as constant innovation. Admire this collection of treasures in this volume of Cartier creations." 
-THE SOCIETY DIARIES

"How can this book be adequately reviewed when there are not possibly enough superlatives to describe and discuss Cartier Dazzling: High Jewelry and Precious Objects? Dazzling, as in the title, even seems to be understating the contents of this wondrous and spectacular monograph about one of the greatest heritage brands of our time. This is one of those books that come along once in a very long time. . . Unquestionably this is one of the great books of its genre."
-NY JOURNAL OF BOOKS

"[Cartier Dazzling] offers a glorious look at the jewelry house's latest high jewelry collection, Étourdissant . . . For those looking for glimpses of vintage glamour, the tome does not disappoint."
