We all yearn to make an imprint on the world, make a difference, leave some kind of lasting impression. And most of us want that to be a positive change, to make the world a better place.

Nothing whispers elegance more than a strand of pearls. Whatever size, color or shape, these beauties make a statement that promises to enhance every outfit or occasion.

The company found a six story building at 653 Fifth Avenue which was owned by banker Morton F. Plant. Cartier proposed a trade, their most valuable strand of pearls, which at the time were valued at $1,000,000 for the building. Mrs. Plant gladly accepted the deal. 653 Fifth Avenue is still the current address of Cartier New York.
