Arts of Islam; Distant Perspectives: Cartier and Islamic Arts

By Jane Fitzpatrick

Cartier, an internationally celebrated French luxury brand, has a unique history with the SWANA region. This history has been distinctly honored over the years through campaign homages and museum exhibits.

"Cartier and Islamic Arts" is the third installation of the Arts of Islam miniseries: Distant Perspectives. Follow along with the images, audio, and links at your own pace, and be dazzled by the artistry of French jewelry inspired by Islamic tradition.
