| Paris is the custodian of the famous ‘high jewellery’ houses such as Cartier, Boucheron, Chaumet and Van Cleef & Arples who have created jewels that have adorned kings, queens, maharajahs, millionaire industrialists of the 1900’s, bankers, entrepreneurs, Hollywood ‘royalty’ and some of the most beautiful women in the world. The skills of the Parisian goldsmith is unrivalled and Joanna has had the unprecedented privilege of being invited to Cartier’s workshops in Parish to witness first-hand what goes into making ‘high jewellery’ that will ultimately be sought after and collected by international jewellery connoisseurs. |
