Observe the master artisans of Cartier showcasing their craftsmanship in an intimate studio space. Cartier celebrates glyptics – the art of gem carving – through a piece specially created for the Homo Faber event. A tribute to Japan and cherry blossoms, the box carved in opal is adorned with a detachable bracelet and brooch. The design also features jewellery and straw marquetry, two metiers distinctive of the maison’s savoir-faire.
