Generous volumes with geometric structures, gold domes illuminated by precious dewdrop and corollas of radiant and fresh faceted lapis diamonds. Cartier has overturned convention and redefined jewellery.

By the name, you can easily tell where the inspiration came from. Cactus de Cartier collection absorbs the aesthetics of the tropical greenery. Dominated by the na tural colours and gold, this autumn, the collection will boost up anyone’s looks in an instant. Putting a twist on traditional touch, Cartier reveals the beauty secret of these fascinating, uncompromising plants that we dare not touch. Often observed from afar, its beauty always shines underneath its spines. Cactus de Cartier is a hardy child of the desert, resistant to freezing nights and arid days, originating from a time before time began. Opening and flowering as it did at the dawn of time, it offers itself up unreservedly in the brilliance of its simplicity with this sun-drenched collection. ¬

This green and gold dominated series is designed to be seen in sublime spikes. You are meant to see them through a jeweller’s eyes as they bloom in twists of gold prickling with diamonds. Blue, white and red become the next colours that follow. ¬ The collection is mostly made of 18-carat gold, emeralds and diamonds, but in between those materials there also sits a bunch of carnelians and lapis lazuli. Geometry, cut-outs, proportions; the unapproachable becomes softer and tamely reveals three unexpected faces. The very essence of primal beauty, it radiates irresistibly under Cartier’s gaze. Dignified yet fantastical, this is a joyous tribute to these beautiful plants crowned with dew, some of which only flower at night. Seductive at daybreak, they are a luscious blend of the sometimes gentle, sometimes cruel pleasure of duality.
