Cartier Jewels Belonging to Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II

Since the death of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on 8 September 2022, her Cartier jewels continue to feature prominently in the jewel box of the British Royal Family.

In anticipation of the Cartier Winter Series Exhibition taking place at the NGV this June to October, we look at the Cartier treasures found in the Royal Family’s trove.

Many pieces are embued with history and stories, and all possess the recognisable characteristics of the iconic “Maison Cartier”.
