ARTISTIC CRAFTS

By integrating a glyptics workshop into its High Jewellery workshops and creating the Maison des Métiers d'Art in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Cartier is demonstrating its commitment to preserving, transmitting and developing these age-old, endangered and timelessly precious techniques.

MAISON DES MÉTIERS D’ART

Preserve, innovate and share: Cartier is committed to promoting and passing on artistic craftsmanship. The Maison des Métiers d'Art was created in 2014 to achieve this aim. A melting pot where talents meet, interact and surpass one another, this project stems from Cartier's strong vision, which underscores its respect for tradition and determination to harness the power of these artistic crafts in a continuous quest for innovation.

GLYPTICS

Glyptics is the art of engraving and sculpting hard, precious or fine stones. Cartier is one of the few great jewellers who undertake this Métier d’Art in-house. Integrated into the Maison in 2010, the workshop is now led by Émilie Marques, one of Maître d'Art Philippe Nicolas’ students, who now passes on her expertise to her apprentices.
