With expertise letter by Alain Cartier dated 10 October 2023
First produced by Cartier in the 1930s, these bookmarks were inspired by cocktail party stirrers. The hedonistic Roaring Twenties gave rise to a "cocktail generation" of exuberant and joyful men and women, some of whom became stalwarts of the "café society". Members of this fun-loving generation brought ideas and stimulated the creativity of jewelers.
