Over 350 pieces are on show within the Sainsbury Gallery of the V&A Museum, curated by Helen Molesworth and Rachel Garrahan.

Through the exhibition, you’ll gain an insight into the evolution of the brand and how Cartier became known as the jeweller of kings and queens.

There are tiaras around, it’s what they do well, alongside items inspired by Egypt, India, Japan and Russia and, of course, watches.

Be sure not to miss Mexican film star María Félix’s snake necklace. Made with 2,473 diamonds and enamel scales in the colours of the Mexican flag.

A short walk from The V&A, The Egerton House Hotel are currently running a Tea & Treasures Afternoon Tea with cakes inspired by the exhibition. Click here to read all about it.
