• Bahrain Pearl Diving Heritage The pearl diving tradition of Bahrain, a practice largely unchanged for centuries when Jacques Cartier visited in 1912, now recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage site and a living connection between the Cartier family history and the Gulf.
• Jacques Cartier's Ceylon Travels Jacques Cartier's repeated journeys to Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) from the 1920s, sourcing sapphires and pearls from the island's gem dealers and establishing relationships that fed directly into the firm's jewellery.
• The Cultured Pearl Revolution The introduction of commercially viable cultured pearls in the 1920s and 1930s collapsed the natural pearl market by approximately 85%, upending a trade on which Cartier's business model had been substantially built.
• The Gulf Pearl Trade The centuries-old trade in natural pearls from the Persian Gulf, which drew Jacques Cartier to Bahrain in 1912 on what he described as the most important mission of his eastern travels.
