Geometry became the language of elegance during the Art Deco era, and Cartier transformed it into timeless masterpieces.
Bold lines, striking symmetry, and perfectly balanced shapes came together with exceptional craftsmanship to create jewelry that still defines sophistication today.
Inspired by the artistic revolution of the 1920s and 1930s, Cartier’s Art Deco creations celebrate the harmony of diamonds, onyx, emeralds, sapphires, and platinum in architectural compositions that remain as modern as ever.

Vito isn't giving up revenge because he's forgiven anyone.
Sonny's dead. Killing every man responsible won't change that. Michael is still alive, still hiding in Sicily, and Vito wants him home.
So he does the thing he's always been best at. He turns his grief into a deal.
In front of every family in New York, he swears off vengeance for Sonny. Not because he's stopped wanting it. Because that oath is the price of Michael's safe return, and he pays it in the one currency the room respects.
He even says it out loud. He forgoes the vengeance for his dead son. But he warns them that if anything happens to Michael, any accident at all, he'll blame the men in that room, and then he won't forgive.
It isn't peace built on trust. It's a truce between men who all know they could keep killing each other and are choosing, for now, not to.
Vito picks the son he can still save over the son he's already lost.
