NATURE SAUVAGE REVEALS A NEW PERSPECTIVE OF THE FAUNA OF CARTIER THROUGHUN I QUE AND UNEXPECTED ENCOUNTERS .

As an infinite source of inspiration, nature stimulates the creativity of the Maison. In a series of creations that each tell their own story, animals explore
new environments, naturalist landscapes or imaginary universes that create trompe-l’œil or illusionary effects.

An elephant blends into the front of a necklace to become a graphic motif, while a panther appears in the centre of a necklace with breathtaking colours. At the same time, as if with a flutter of their wings, butterflies leave their delicate imprint on a vivid jewellery set.

They also owe their beauty to their powerful spirit. This exudes a vitality that is unreservedly expressed through the radiance of these exceptional pieces and the stories they tell.

CHRYSEIS

BU TTERFLI ES HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ONE OF CARTIE R ’ S FAVOURITE IN SECTS . INSPIR ED BY THE CHRYSEIS SPECIES, THE ONYX- SPECKLED PIECES CHOSEN BY THE DESIGNERS EVO KE SOME OF THE MAISON ’ S EARLIER CREATIONS PRESERVED I N ITS ARCHIVES .

For this necklace, the black-and-white patterns of their wings are used by the jewellers to capture the essence

of the insect and inspire us to dream. They flutter around the neck with delicate grace. The black and white of their wings also contrasts with the freshness of the chalcedony beads. Meanwhile, the pendant is set off by a 63.76-carat rubellite in a dazzling harmony of rich colour.

SIBAYA

Goin g beyond realism, this necklace takes stylisation to the limits of abstraction .

The crocodile is a familiar reptile in cartier’s fauna, but this necklace retains only one of its many details:
The scales, which have been captured here by a set of sugar loaf emeralds. The stones were chosen one by one, as much for their colour as for their round shape.

The diamond - paved motifs evoke thes himmer of the  Sea and the undulation so fareptile swimming between two ripples o f water.
