Outshined london forgotten jewels and lost tiara brought to Melbourne

The blockbuster CARTIER jewelry exhibition is the 2026 Melbourne Winter Masterpieces showcase, featuring nearly 400 iconic jewels, timepieces, and historical items. But it’s not the same exhibition we saw in London or Paris, this time Cartier brought together new acquisitions never shown before – some we never expected to see, and some tightly connected to Australia.
Today, we are looking at the untold stories behind some of the most fascinating jewels in Cartier's Melbourne exhibition. Displayed among the nearly 400 pieces is a rare series of over 24 resplendent tiaras, including the one we never expected to see on the exhibition - Queen Mary’s Cartier Lozenge Bandeau.
