Fellowes, heiress to the Singer sewing machine fortune, was not only among the wealthiest women of her era but also a major tastemaker. A fashion editor for Harper’s Bazaar and confidante of Schiaparelli, she was known for her bold and eccentric style. During her travels, she had collected a trove of Indian gems and provided many of the stones used in this piece. Worn famously by Fellowes at a lavish Paris ball in 1936, the Collier Hindou became a symbol of avant-garde glamour. After her death in 1962, the necklace passed to her daughter Emmeline de Castéja, who had Cartier shorten and redesign it in 1963 to suit the era’s style. Though modified, the core Tutti Frutti aesthetic — asymmetrical clusters of vivid, carved stones — remained.

In 1991, the necklace and its matching carved emerald earrings reappeared at Sotheby’s Geneva, where they sold for £2.13 million and were reacquired by Cartier. In 1994, Princess Caroline of Monaco wore them to the Red Cross Ball
