WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE

Who can top Cartier when it comes to using nature as one's muse in the high-jewelry department?

No need to ramble on, Cartier cornered the market for realistic and fantasy-driven bejeweled wildlife. Enjoy the baubles here!

Many of these extravagant jewels were commissioned by Cartier's loyal clientele. Royalty and the Riche all came to Cartier to have the legendary French designer create bespoke bijoux to thrill (or one-up!) their friends at society balls.

 Fun or fierce, these statement jewels are as dazzling today as they were when first created. Many of these darlings harken from the 1930s.

Now, that's my kind of pet . . .  g-r-r-r-r!
