Beautiful pieces!

Beautiful report SJX! This is certainly quite an honor to be taken behind the scenes to view how all of these incredible jewelry pieces are created.

I'm often very surprised when these articles of jewelry are made inside major cities such as Paris. I always imagined that these artisans would prefer the peace and serenity of the countryside, much like how Swiss wristwatches are made outside of major cities. Thus, I have found myself surprised when I learned Alfred Dunhill creates many of its leather goods in central London and Cartier apparently creates many of its large jewelry pieces in central Paris.

A beautiful and eloquent report. I've been to the Rue de la Paix store many times, but I have never been inside the rooms that you have taken photos of. It is nice to know that Cartier has retained these rooms for (presumably) historic reasons, even though it is a great financial cost to Cartier, it's nice to know that they haven't forgotten their roots.

Thank you for the report SJX!
