Jean Toussaint who was in charge of Haute Joaillerie for Cartier at the time of its creation was particularly fond of panthers and is remembered for her ‘big cat’ jewels which were to become a favorite of the Duchess and always linked to her bold dressing style. The first Cartier panther brooch was created for the Duchess of Windsor in 1948 and many others followed.
The love story between Mrs Wallis Simpson, the Duchess of Windsor and King Edward VIII told in jewels is perhaps the best way to describe the 20 fabulous brooches, diamond-studded panther, cigarette boxes and golden evening bags .The beauty as well as the enormous sentimental value embedded in each gift still has the power to raise goosebumps and high bids!
