Autor/in

Francesca Cartier Brickell

A graduate in English literature from Oxford University, Francesca Cartier Brickell is a direct descendant of the Cartier family. Her great-great-great grandfather founded Cartier in 1847. Her late grandfather, Jean-Jacques Cartier, was the last of the family to manage and own a branch of the world-famous jewelry firm. Leaving behind a career in finance to focus on independently researching her family history, Francesca has spent over a decade travelling the world in search of the real story behind the Cartiers. She is an accredited GIA jewelry professional and lectures internationally and online on Cartier's illustrious history. She lives with her husband and children in London and the South of France.

Die Cartiers
Die fesselnde Geschichte von vier Generationen von Juwelieren, die hinter dem Cartier-Imperium stehen, und von drei Brüdern, die Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts das bescheidene Juweliergeschäft ihres Großvaters in eine ikonische Luxusmarke verwandelten - erzählt von der Urgroßenkelin mit exklusivem Zugang zu einem lange verschollenen Familienarchiv.Es begann mit einem kleinen, feinen Juwelierladen, den Louis-François Cartier 1847 in Paris gründete. Schon wenige Jahre später zählte die französische Kaiserin Eugénie zu seinen Kundinnen. Und als Prinzessin Mathilde, die Cousine von Napoleon I., 1856 bei einem ihrer Salons mit Cartier glänzte, öffnete dies dem Unternehmen das Tor zur Pariser Gesellschaft und zur internationalen Hautevolee. Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts eröffneten die drei Enkel des Gründers Niederlassungen in London und New York. Sie machten aus Cartier eine ikonische Luxusmarke, belieferten weltweit die königlichen Höfe und versorgten die Schauspielerinnen und Mode-Diven des 20. Jahrhunderts - von Gracia Patricia, Wallis Simpson und Coco Chanel bis zu Elizabeth Taylor und Romy Schneider.Aus vielen Mosaiksteinchen hat die Cartier-Urgroßenkelin die Geschichte ihrer Familie zusammengesetzt. Sie liest sich wie ein Gesellschaftsroman, in dem es nicht nur um sündhaft teure Schmuckstücke, sondern auch um arrangierte Ehen und heimliche Romanzen, um dynastische Intrigen und schändlichen Verrat geht.
