At last, the great unwashed have their chance to get up-close and personal with Cartier. Focusing primarily on pieces owned by Americans and produced in this country, Cartier and America, the latest tribute to the glories of conspicuous consumption at the Legion of Honor, showcases some 300 spectacular, too-expensive-for-you objects including mystery clocks, accessories, jewelry, more tiaras than you can count, a ton of emeralds and Cartier's signature watches.
Patronized by royals, an array of socialites, heiresses and countesses, Indian Maharajahs, arrivistes like Marion Davies, a bevy of Vanderbilts, the Duchess of Windsor, and Hollywood glitterati from Liz Taylor, Princess Grace of Monaco, Vivien Leigh and Fred Astaire to Barbara Hutton and Gloria Swanson, the House of Cartier, founded in Paris in 1847, quickly earned a reputation for designing jewelry for the ruling elites.

Outside of Africa, the Cro-Magnons had crude necklaces and bracelets of bone, teeth and stone hung on pieces of string or animal sinew, or pieces of carved bone used to secure clothing together. In some cases, jewellery had shell or mother-of-pearl pieces. In southern Russia, carved bracelets made of mammoth tusk have been found. The Venus of Hohle Fels features a perforation at the top, showing that it was intended to be worn as a pendant.
