In its new collection, Kiss of the Dragon, Cartier is reproducing popular Chinese motifs à la franÇaise. Cartier's history with Chinese artistry dates back to 1888 when the company began using Chinese lacquer in a number of objects. Now, its new collection features jewelry divided into five lines, which feature designs evoking Chinese characters, philosophy, art and pleasure.
