18th century formal gardens were the inspiration for a group of early Art Deco jewelry designs, many springing from the creative mind of Louis Cartier, who explored original and unusual sources of motifs for his work, including architectural elements, passementerie, modern dance, and Persian miniatures, to name a few.
