From simplicity to extravagance, through to subtle shades and bold chromatic harmonies, balancing symmetry and asymmetry: harmony is also born from the exploration and reconciliation of opposing forces.
This singular vision is a balancing act, a tightrope that defines the Maison’s creative approach.
SHITO
This necklace was created from two 49.37-carat \ambian emerald drops, selected for the harmony of their volume and the elegance of this material. Suspended in asymmetrical pendants, they are the beginning and end of a line of emeralds and diamonds.
Two pure curves delicately joined by an X of diamonds and, on the back, by an adjustable clasp set with diamonds. The refinement of the whole piece rests on the precision of the lines: that “nothing in excess” that says it all.
HAYALA
For this necklace, the delicate workmanship of the rose gold gives the impression that the stones are set directly onto the neck. In an effect of transparency that is as surprising as it is mysterious, a pear-shaped diamond sparkles below the 5.71-carat oval-cut diamond set in a pendant. The ultimate sophistication of this necklace, with a finesse reminiscent of a spider’s web, reflects the expertise of the Maison’s jewellery craftsmen.
Panthère orbitale
From the tips of its ears to its emerald eyes, the animal is sculpted with a coat of diamonds and onyx, exuding realism and vitality. Coral blends with amethyst in a harmony that flows from the cabochon in the centre to the smallest beads around the neck. The amethyst reveals its colour density through the fullness of its volumes.
Panthère dentelée
Then there are the stones: emeralds from Colombia, transformed into a cascade of faceted beads of different sizes and weights. From its intense colours
to the impression of fluidity and its supple drape, everything comes to life thanks to the threading technique, which requires respect for the design, the curves and the layering. The iridescent material intensifies the light through the facets of each stone. Their uniqueness has a lifelike beauty.
Tsaga AN
This necklace captures the essence of the animal: rare, elusive and moving. The design is clean and restricted to only the essential. With a trompe-l’œil effect, the interplay of lines makes the feline’s head appear or disappear depending on the angle from which it is viewed. The styling is based on the interwoven geometric motifs set with kite-, lozenge- and triangle-cut diamonds and enhanced with onyx, in one of Cartier’s signature chromatic duos. The alternation of full and empty spaces creates an impression of movement with a sense of mystery.
Trafo Rato
Three octagonal Colombian emeralds of different weights and positions form the central axis of a geometric mesh. Touches of emerald and onyx here and there enhance the relief and add rhythm, creating an optical effect and an impression of movement. Openwork enhances the palette: a combination of three of Cartier’s signature colours, black, white and green.
Pavo Celle
The entire structure of this set transposes the volume of the central stone into a succession of openwork motifs, reminiscent of the peacock’s tail and its beauty. With lightness and movement, like diamond-set lace this creation seems to come to life before our eyes. In keeping with the Maison’s tradition of transformable jewellery, the centre stone and its support can be transformed into a collar brooch. The pear-shaped diamond in the clasp can then be added as a pendant.
