Cartier fashion jewelry.

As times became volatile, jewelry became an investment. In 1987, Calvin Klein bought for his wife, Kelly, a pearl and diamond pendant and necklace made by Cartier. This original was custom made when Queen Mary ordered it. It was first given to her son, who then presented it to his wife, the Duchess of Windsor.

Calvin paid $200,000 for this necklace in 1987. In 2007, the auction house Sotheby sold it for the mind staggering sum of $4 million.

It did not matter that the world faced an economy down turn. Cartier’s clients somehow still had money to buy its pieces.
