Cartier

This is a multi-gem tiger sautoir necklace 

The house of Cartier was founded in 1847 when the 28 year old Louis-Francois Cartier took over a shop at 29 rue Montorgueil in Paris. His son Alfred took control of the company in 1874 by which time it already had an excellent reputation. 

The first three-dimensional panther was created in 1948 for the Duchess of Windsor, other distinguished Cartier clients began to fall in love with the jewels. Daisy Fellowes and Nina Dyer both appropriated this new look. American heiress Barbara Hutton a notable style rival of the Duchess of Windsor, also had a preference for Jeanne Toussaint's tiger menagerie.

Tiffany & Co.

Due to the last post on Jewellery Houses I've listed those I consider to be the top 5 of them. On this post I will be writing with the one I chose of which is Tiffany and Co. It was founded in 1838 by Charles Lewis Tiffany (1812-1902) and his partner JB Young. 

Charles Lewis Tiffany took sole control in of the company in 1853 when the business was renamed Tiffany & Co. The business moved to a palatial store in Union Square and flourished through the 1870s also becomes the destination for New York's fashionable and wealthy elite. Tiffany was known for Japonesque-style silverware and for diamond jewellery : Charles Tiffany became the "King of Diamonds." 

In 1889 Tiffany won numerous awards at international exhibitions in Paris. On 1902 his father died and Louis Comfort Tiffany took over the reins becoming Tiffany's first design director. Today Reed Krakoff occupies the newly-created role of Artistic Director of Tiffany & Co.

Clay Ceramics

 

My finished clay ceramics

These are my finished different types of clay ceramics that I've been working on. I also enjoyed working with clay since it was my first time in a while working with it since I was a kid. It was very fun working with clay and getting my hands dirty, it reminded me when I was still a kid. It also helped me developed my mental capacity in general. Building up walls of clay in an empty space was the fun part because it made me feel like a real art student.
