| Huguette Clark: Copper heiress' jewelry brings $21million at New York City auction - Daily Mail Posted: 18 Apr 2012 12:00 AM PDT A charmed life: Reclusive copper heiress' jewelry brings $21million at New York City auction 5 View Advertisement Signed pieces of Cartier and Tiffany jewelry belonging to a late Montana copper mining heiress have sold for nearly $21million at a New York City auction. Christie's said Tuesday's sale from the estate of Huguette Clark had caught the attention of collectors worldwide. The star of the collection, a rare pink cushion-cut 9-carat diamond ring, sold for nearly $16million.  Making a statement: An art deco diamond and multi-gem bracelet with animal motifs by Cartier, circa 1925, sold for $92,500 - over three times Christie's estimate The auction house had estimated the collection of 17 pieces would bring between $9million to $12million. But many of the pieces, including the stunning pink diamond, sold for double, and occasionally - in the case of a single-strand pearl and diamond necklace by Tiffany & Co - as much as eight times Christie's estimates.  Star of the show: A belle epoque cushion-cut vivid purplish pink 9-carat diamond ring by Dreicer & Co, circa 1910, sold for over $15.7million  Stunning: A pair of early 20th century emerald, natural pearl and diamond ear pendants by Cartier fetched $104,500  Classic: A single-strand pearl and diamond necklace by Tiffany & Co fetched $362,500 - over eight times Christie's estimate  Sparkler: This Cartier diamond ring, weighing approximately 19.86-carats, sold for over $3.1million  Patriotic: A diamond, ruby and sapphire American flag brooch by Cartier sold for $80,500  Clutch: An art deco jade, diamond and silk evening bag, circa 1925, sold for $13,750  Ornate: A nephrite, turquoise, onyx and enamel photo frame by Cartier, circa 1910, sold for $74,500  Chinoiserie: An art deco diamond and multi-gem Cartier clock, circa, 1925, sold for $164,000  Bejeweled: An art deco onyx, diamond and multi-gem photo frame by Cartier, circa 1910, fetched $74,500 Pieces from the art deco period dominated the lot, such as Ms Clark's collection of gold and diamond Cartier bracelets. Photo frames by the luxury label, marked by onyx, turquoise and diamond accents, went to the highest bidders at $74,500 each - well above their $4,000 to $7,000 estimates. The pieces give some insight into the life of one of America's most mysterious heiresses. Ms Clark, who was 104 when she died last year at New York's Beth Israel Medical Center, was notoriously shy and reclusive during her years.  Green-eyed: An art deco emerald and diamond bracelet by Cartier, circa 1925, sold for double its estimate, at $110,500  Girl's best friend: An art deco diamond bracelet by Cartier, circa 1925, sold for $578,500  Bricklinked: A retro rose and yellow gold bracelet by Cartier, circa 1940, sold for $25,000  Piece of history: A ruby, sapphire, emerald and gold bracelet by Tiffany & Co, circa 1915, sold for $200,000  A rose by any other name: This group of rose gold jewelry, including a linked bracelet and ear clips, sold for $4,375  Bold and beautiful: A diamond and gold chain link bracelet joined by a padlock charm by Cariter sold for double its estimated value at $20,000  Two of a kind: A necklace and bracelet en suite, designed as three twisted strands of yellow and rose gold beads, sold for $8,125 Her father was U.S. Senator William A Clark, once one of America's wealthiest businessmen, building a fortune from mining copper and railroads. But his daughter - reputedly the nation's fourth richest woman - was the subject of much speculation and intrigue. Aged 84, Huguette moved from her Fifth Avenue apartment in 1991 and spent the rest of her life in hospitals. In the 1990s the painting vanished from the apartment. Her longtime physician had signed a statement describing his then-102-year-old patient as 'mentally and physically alert'.   Heiress: Huguette Clark, left, was the daughter of wealthy business man and former U.S. Senator William A Clark, centre right, pictured joining his daughter at the Easter Parade in New York on April 29, 1922 This came three years after she signed a will cutting her family out of any inheritance and planning an art museum in her Santa Barbara, California home. She had signed two wills in 2005, aged 98. The first left everything to her family, while the second, which she signed six weeks later, excluded her family. Instead, it outlined plans for the museum and left $36million to her nurse and large gifts to her godchild, doctor, attorney and accountant. |
| Katie Holmes takes mother Kathleen to Cartier Mansion reopening at NYFW - Daily Mail Posted: 08 Sep 2016 12:00 AM PDT In a tribute to building on one's history, the Cartier Mansion threw a reopening party on Wednesday night after a two-and-a-half-year renovation. And as a guest at the Manhattan fête, Katie Holmes followed in much the same tradition. Wearing a frilly gold-coloured gown, the 37-year-old posed alongside her mother Kathleen Holmes, for whom an elegant black and white pantsuit did the trick. Scroll down for video  Mother-daughter time: Katie Holmes posed with her mother Kathleen Holmes at the Cartier Mansion grand reopening party on Wednesday in Manhattan The ex-Mrs Tom Cruise's dress was covered in green, blue and gold stitching that formed various natural patterns, such as butterflies, raindrops, and the sun. Her hair was in an elaborate updo, giving a full view of the Dawson's Creek actress' large hoop earrings, which along with a gold bracelet and several rings accessorised the outfit. Meanwhile, the Toledo native's mother augmented her ensemble with a white formal scarf tied neatly at her midriff, as well as with a black purse. Where hoops served her daughter, she opted for pearl earrings.   L'histoire: In 1917, Pierre Cartier bought the location of his flagship shop with a $1 million dollar pearl necklace from his own brand
Steal the limelight in an embroidered gown like KatieKatie Holmes led the star studded red carpet at a NYFW party thrown by Cartier. The former Dawson's Creek star wowed the crowd in a stunning gown by Valentino. The floor sweeping dress came in a nude color palette and it was intricately embroidered with beads. We love the loose, billowing silhouette and bohemian vibe that the Italian brand does oh so well. Katie gets two thumbs up from the Fashion Finder team! Her custom frock isn't available anywhere online, but we've rounded up some alternatives below that will help you capture her look.

Chloë Grace Moretz wore a rather busy outfit indeed. Strikingly heavy blue eye makeup matched the eastern bluebirds on her dress' black field. The birds' red bellies, as well as orange tendrils and an orange hem, added even more colour to the dress' surface.   Lover of nature: Chloë Grace Moretz' dress was speckled with bluebirds  She's electric: The actress's look was completed by some bright eyeliner above and below  Stepping out solo: Chloe is newly single after her split from Brooklyn Beckham  That piercing stare: Rooney Mara looked strikingly on-brand at the event  Off-white is the new orange: Taylor Schilling wore a Grecian-inspired dress to the reopening party The 19-year-old's blonde hair had been hauled over to one side of her head and cascaded onto her right shoulder. A pair of ankle-strap stilletos and what appeared to be a diamond bracelet rounded out the look as she posed for the camera. Taylor Schilling's Grecian white dress had a plunging neckline that drew attention to the eye medallion she wore along with a solitaire necklace.  Blonde bombshell: Sienna Miller was the showstopper of the evening in a sheer lacy white dress   Matching accessories: Her gold-coloured clutch matched her platform heels  Radiant: Sienna looked stunning in her floaty white ensemble  Slimline: Sienna's figure was accentuated by the floaty dress Holding a silver clutch and letting her platinum blonde hair down, she let one of her shapely legs peek out from the perilously high slit of her gown. Ellie Goulding, meanwhile, wore a feather-themed dark blue dress with cleavage down to her midriff and a hem just below the knee. A mélange of alternating netted or feathered sections found some contrast in simple, gold-coloured ankle-strap stilettos.  Scarlet stunner: Model Hailey Clauson cut a striking figure in a matching crop top and ankle-length trousers  The trusty black-and-white combination: Sofia Coppola donned a boxy white tunic with black slacks  I'm all smiles: Kelly Bensimon was the picture of glee as she posed for photographs  Dynamic duo: The former Real Housewife Of New York was photographed alongside ohn Demsey, the Executive Group President of The Estée Lauder Companies  Angelic: German model Toni Garrn looked trendy as she arrived at the bash in a bardot white crochet mini dress and some athletic white trainers Her wavy hair cascaded over her shoulders as the Burn singer gave her best smouldering stare to the camera. Kelly Bensimon, continuing the trend of women wearing white at the Wednesday night event, donned a white dress of her own with three sets of frills - not including those on the cuffs at her elbows. She was a mound of smiles as she posed alongside a besuited John Demsey, the Executive Group President of The Estée Lauder Companies.  Slimline: Jourdan Dunn flaunted her incredibly svelte figure in a sheer lace skirted dress  Style icon! Fashionista Olivia Palermo, 30, looked incredible as she arrived on the red carpet in a chic co-ord, decorated with black and white fringing  What a pair: Her husband Johannes Huebl looked equally as suave as he posed beside Olivia in a pale grey suit complete with jazzy green pocket square Sienna Miller was a true showstopper, the top of her broderie anglaise white dress reaching a perilous degree of sheerness. A tangle of bracelets on her left wrist, she held a gold-coloured clutch in her right, matching her gold-coloured platform heels. Earrings glimmered from behind her wavy blonde hair.   Moulting Goulding: Singer Ellie Goulding wore a feather-themed dark blue dress  Speaking out: Ellie happily have interviews on the red carpet  Big performance: Ellie later took to the stage in a playsuit decorated with swans  Songstress: The British singer enjoyed trilling the number  Hair today: The singer threw her hair back and forth on stage  Seeing stars: Ellie threw her hands in the air as she performed in front of the crowds   Belting it: Ellie whipped the crowds into a frenzy with her performance Sofia Coppola posed in a somewhat boxy white tunic over black slacks and gold-coloured shoes. Her silver necklace, bracelet and rings were set with light blue stones. Rooney Mara looked remarkably on-brand at the event. Her dark lipstick and slicked-back black hair emphasised her gaunt, sharp-edged complexion. Her small black zip-down jacket was left mostly open over a black dress so sheer her bra and underpants were entirely visible through it.  Ladies who party: British actress Ruth Negga and Rooney pose for the camera  Brother and sister: Chloe brought her brother Trevor Duke-Moretz to the soiree  The white stuff: Martha Stewart sported a long pale coat, brown shoes and light brown shirt The undergarments framed her impressively toned midriff, and the dress' translucence allowed a glimpse at her pencil-thin legs, which ankle-strap stilettos made appear even longer than they already were. Amy Fine Collins of Vanity Fair was as chic as her employer would suggest, slipping into a red-silver-and-blue striped pencil dress that glimmered under the light.  Happy arrival: Film producer Shauna Robertson and husband Edward Norton arrived looking smart   Pop of spring: Zachary Quinto wore a black suit over a floral shirt while racing driver Lewis Hamilton sported a patterned jacket and jeans  Rubbing shoulders with the stars: The driver headed home after enjoying himself at the celebrity party In 1917, Pierre Cartier bought the location of his flagship shop by forking over a $1 million pearl necklace from his own brand. Maisie Plant, who'd coveted and got the jewellery, was the wife of financier Morton Plant, who conceded the property to Cartier in exchange for the addition to his wife's collection. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the rejiggering of the Cartier Mansion was undertaken by Thierry Despont, the man behind the latest refurbishment of the Ritz in Paris.
