Cartier's High Jewellery Collection: Nature Sauvage Chapter 2

NATURE SAUVAGE REVEALS A NEW PERSPECTIVE OF THE FAUNA OF CARTIER THROUGH UNIQUE AND UNEXPECTED ENCOUNTERS.

Cartier Presents Its New High Jewellery Collection: Nature Sauvage Chapter 2

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’oeil 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.

WITH THEIR PRECISE DESIGN AND INCREDIBLE SAVOIR-FAIRE, THESE BOLD, EXPRESSIVE CREATIONS INTRODUCE A MODERN WORLD WHERE MYSTERY STIRS AND IGNITES THE IMAGINATION.

“A new perspective of the Cartier fauna, to surprise, amaze and bring modernity by way of unexpected encounters. Expressive jewellery which showcases the attitudes and personality of an animal, its vitality. Like an actor, it plays with graphics, with volume and optical illusions, blending into an imaginary landscape. This is the spirit of Nature Sauvage.” - Jacqueline Karachi, Director of High Jewellery Creation

  • CHRYSEIS

BUTTERFLIES HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ONE OF CARTIER’S FAVOURITE INSECTS. INSPIRED BY THE CHRYSEIS SPECIES, THE ONYX-SPECKLED PIECES CHOSEN BY THE DESIGNERS EVOKE SOME OF THE MAISON’S EARLIER CREATIONS PRESERVED IN 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.

THE OVERALL EFFECT IS A VIBRANT, LYRICAL PALETTE WITH NATURALIST UNDERTONES, WHICH REVISITS THE EMBLEMATIC RED-GREEN-BLACK TRIO THAT IS SYMBOLIC OF THE MAISON.

  • VAMANA

IN CARTIER’S REPERTOIRE OF ANIMALS, THE ELEPHANT IS MOST OFTEN DEPICTED IN A NATURALIST MANNER. FOR THIS NECKLACE, IT HAS BEEN GIVEN A NEW INTERPRETATION THAT BLENDS FIGURATIVE AND ABSTRACT STYLES.

With its ears, trunk and emerald eyes, the animal emerges from the centre of the necklace to form a harmonious combination of triangle, lozenge and kite-shaped diamonds.

THIS GRAPHIC MESH CONTINUES AROUND THE NECK, WITH FINE OPENWORK DETAILS THAT ACCENTUATE ITS PRECISION.

  • PANTHERE CHATOYANTE

AN EMBLEMATIC ANIMAL FOR CARTIER SINCE 1914, THE PANTHER GIVES THIS NECKLACE POWERFUL VIGOUR.

With its remarkably fine and precise design, the feline stares back at us with its emerald gaze, enhanced by touches of black lacquer. The necklace unfolds in a luxurious array of vivid colours, featuring a composition of rubellites, chrysoprases and emeralds.

  • SIBAYA

GOING 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 THE SHIMMER OF THE SEA AND THE UNDULATIONS OF A REPTILE SWIMMING BETWEEN TWO RIPPLES OF WATER.
