Throughout its 176-year history, Cartier has created some of the most iconic high jewelry designs: the whimsical Tutti Frutti collection, panther motifs, and geometric Art Deco creations, to name a few. One of the luxury jeweler’s secrets to success is that despite the variety of styles and patterns, each piece consistently bears the Cartier hallmark.
Cartier has always harbored a passion for the world and its cultures. This curiosity is part of its long-standing heritage, now with a more contemporary flair.
The GIRIH necklace is adorned with turquoise, diamonds, and emeralds from Zambia. Continuing Cartier’s tradition of transformable jewelry, the central pendant can be detached and worn as a brooch.
The ONDULE ring features half-moon diamonds and a 0.92-carat gray-purple diamond. This gemstone is particularly extraordinary due to its rare purple hue and weight.
Lily Collins wore Cartier’s dramatic high jewelry CLAUSTRA necklace at the 2023 Met Gala. This platinum necklace is set with diamonds and onyx, centered by a striking 4.02-carat diamond.
Following Cartier’s great transformable tradition, this necklace can be separated into two parts. According to Cartier, this presented an ambitious technical challenge.
Everything at Cartier revolves around the purity of lines, balance of shapes and volumes, proportion combinations, and the ultimate harmony of the entire piece. This is evident in the SAMA necklace, which features an exceptional 19.27-carat Ceylon sapphire and diamonds.
Cartier’s high jewelry collection “Le Voyage Recommence” is currently being unveiled, comprising over 90 never-before-seen pieces.
