In its storied history Cartier created a number of iconic designs. One of the most famous is the 18k Yellow Gold Cartier Tuti Frutti Bangle, introduced in the 1920s but not given the name until 1970. The design is based on Indian influences and mixes diamonds, emeralds, rubies and sapphires carved in floral motifs.

Craftsmanship in High-End Gold Jewelry
Its whimsical use of primary colors “overturned the conventions of jewelry design,” wrote Pierre Rainero, Cartier director of Image, Style and Heritage, in the book, “Cartier in the 20th Century.” In the same book, Margaret Young Sanchez, curator and author, described Tutti Frutti jewels as a “riot of color.” The combination of the different gems and the various carvings of leaves, fruits, flowers, makes it nearly impossible to create the same design twice. So each jewel is unique.
