An exhibition celebrating jewellery made by the prestigious French luxury goods company Cartier since the start of the 20th century, including watches and tiaras, will open at London's V&A Museum on Saturday (April 12).

Established by Louis-Francois Cartier in Paris in 1847, the family-run business went on to become a household name popular with royalty and Hollywood stars alike.
