Cartier began in 1847 and now runs 270 boutiques worldwide. The house's story, its "Never imitate, always innovate" motto and the 1969 Love bracelet.

Estelle Arpels married Alfred Van Cleef in 1895. From that union came one of jewellery's great houses, its Place Vendome flagship and the Perlee line.

The Perlee line, inspired by the 1948 Tartelette ring, explained, plus a white gold diamond Perlee ring in stock now at a sale price under retail.
