Former Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé collection

One of Cartier's most cherished workshops was the Henri Picq workshop, renowned for its exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail. Specializing exclusively in creating high jewelry pieces, it was integral to Cartier’s reputation for excellence during the early 20th century. In addition to producing stunning jewelry, the workshop crafted unique objects, such as the egg gifted by the Conseil Municipal of Paris to Tsar Nicholas II in 1912. Henri Picq’s artisans were celebrated for their mastery in working with platinum, a metal that was revolutionary for jewelry design at the time. The workshop’s innovations in setting techniques allowed for intricate, yet delicate designs that became synonymous with the Art Deco movement. Beyond Cartier, Henri Picq also collaborated with other prestigious houses, including Van Cleef & Arpels, Lacloche, Berlioz, Tiffany & Co., and Marchak, solidifying its legacy as a cornerstone of haute joaillerie.
