Wild Nature It is a real theater where precious animals come to life. Each piece in this collection tells a unique story; from a pendant to a necklace, a turtle transforms into a brooch, while a pink flamingo emerges amidst a forest of emeralds.
The style of this collection is both varied and free. Figurative, it manifests itself through a panther of ice advancing over a bank of diamonds and rock crystal. Abstract, it radicalizes with a ring inspired by the scales of a crocodile, designed with a bold architecture. The creations play with codes, where the animals leave their natural environment to explore new universes. Thus, a snake becomes a necklace, its scales transforming into an urban checkerboard, and a scarab stands out on a necklace with a motif evoking skyscrapers.
These creations owe their intensity of design and the excellence of the craftsmanship to Cartier, expressing an unrestrained vitality. Jacqueline Karachi, Director of Haute Jewelry Creation, describes this collection as «a new look at the bestiary" Cartier, »Bringing modernity and unexpected encounters", this expressive jewelry showcases the attitudes of animals, their personality and their vitality through unique pieces that play with graphic design and volume, all the way to the optical illusion.
Among these pieces, we can note the bracelet-ring The Flashing Panther of magnetic elegance. Fully articulated, it gives a wild energy to every gesture. The rippling limbs, the diamond-studded fur, and the emerald gaze illustrate the art of Cartier in all its splendor. The tortoise Mochelis It cleverly camouflages itself in an abstract necklace, sublimating a rubellite weighing more than 70 carats. The camouflage is revealed, and the turtle appears in its entirety when detached to form a brooch.
The collar Amphista presenting two sinuous reptiles, their diamond and emerald scales adorned with geometric precision. This hybrid composition fuses the organic and the urban, creating a work of great verticality. The pink flamingo Celustun, another emblematic figure of Cartier, It is drawn in a stylized landscape with emeralds evoking reeds and aquamarine recalling the aquatic environment. Then, the necklace Anae, With its clasp, it reveals an elegant scarab, transposing geometry and symmetry in an Art Deco style. The combination of onyx and diamonds introduces a sublime territory where surprise blends with the imagination.
Finally, the The Ice Panther, More realistic than ever, it advances across an expanse of ice, embodying naturalism and graphic strength. The diamonds and rock crystal create a polar metaphor, while a rare diamond accentuates the play of light.
Wild Nature It perfectly illustrates the mastery of volumes, the precision of the design and the excellence of the craftsmanship of Cartier. These new creations open up a territory where mystery ignites and inflames the imagination, capturing the wild spirit of each animal in exceptional pieces.
