Featuring a blaze of colored stones, this item of jewelry is an authentic status symbol, a statement of the wealth of the person wearing it. The name of the necklace was Monsieur Cartier's way of paying tribute to the Maison's creative director in the 1930s, Jeanne Toussaint, a revolutionary woman to whom the brand owes the invention of its distinctive animalier theme.
