The jewelry house Cartier International has joined the World Jewelery Confederation (CIBJO) as a commercial member.
Cartier has over 200 boutiques in over 60 countries and three flagship stores, known as temples, in Paris, New York and London. The company’s revenue in 2022 amounted to about $12.4 billion.
The company, which designs, manufactures, distributes and markets jewelry, leather goods and watches, was founded by Louis-Francois Cartier in Paris in 1847 and is today a subsidiary of the Swiss Richemont Group.
Gaetano Cavalieri, President of CIBJO, said: “We are delighted to welcome Cartier International to the World Jewelery Confederation.
“Her legacy, commitment to excellence and global prestige are unparalleled, but she is also a pioneer in our industry’s path to total sustainability, aware of our responsibility for the long-term well-being of all stakeholders and the health of our planet. We are very happy to be doing this together.”
Cyril Vigneron, President and CEO of Cartier International, added: “CIBJO is a forum where all players can come together and discuss our common interests, formulate universal standards and define common operating principles that protect both us and the consumers we serve. We are proud to be part of the CIBJO community.”
