Bute necklace This magnificent emerald necklace from Cartier belonged to Beatrice Ogden Mills Forbes, Countess of Granard, but is now in the Cartier Collection, and is currently displayed at the Cartier: Power of Magic exhibition in Shanghai.

Beatrice was born on 19 July 1883 in Newport, Rhode Island to some of the most prominent and wealthy American families. She was the daughter of the American financier Ogden Mills and Ruth Livingston, whose family had been prominent landowners in the Hudson Valley since the 17th century. Beatrice was raised at the family home Staatsburgh in New York. On 14 January 1909, she married Bernard, Earl of Granard. With her marriage, Beatrice Mills would be known as Countess and/or Lady Granard.

The necklace was commissioned by Beatrice in 1932, centering on a mysterious 143.23 carat cushion-shaped polished emerald, set in a necklace designed in a Persian fringe style, originally as a long sautoir, and later altered to be worn as a shorter collar necklace, set with over 2000 diamonds that were supplied by Beatrice.
