First and foremost, it is the house’s expertise and its freedom of creation that are revealed with this limited-edition collection. Cartier Libre It stimulates the imagination and offers an unprecedented inspiration every year. It should be noted that Cartier He has always been searching for new forms. This is in his tradition that the research on line, volume, contrast and mobility is rooted.

For this new opus, Cartier Libre It offers three aesthetic styles: the work of gold, volume and the interplay of contrasts. In keeping with Jeanne Toussaint’s philosophy, the volumes are there «without being shy or reserved».
It is this audacity and this assertion that are found here with the generous gold that combines with the coral in a diamond-embroidered design. Then a magnificent braid wraps around the wrist or the finger reveals remarkable craftsmanship. For, it is necessary to meticulously assemble the gold pattern and add the coral that is cut into cabochon work. The expertise of Cartier workshops reveals great mastery and adaptability. In fact, the diamond setting is adapted with the pearly grain, the double lacing and the «owl’s tail» setting.

Let’s not forget that the jeweler likes pushing the boundaries by transforming matter. To do this, the house reveals the iridescence of obsidian through a cabochon size held by precious platinum and diamond links. The material is silky, almost unreal, and we can see gold sequins on a brown background. Another fascinating contrast is this bracelet adorned with metakaustite. It is a mixture of opaque black stone inhabited by pyrite inclusions. Undoubtedly, what makes this Cartier It is unique; it is its ability to draw inspiration from unexpected materials.

In short, Cartier Libre It stands out thanks to its sense of innovation and creativity. The House creates jewelry that is both timeless and modern.
