Nature Sauvage - The exquisite natural world in Cartier's new jewellery collection
The Nature Sauvage high jewellery collection is an invitation to Cartier's unique and impressive natural world.
In the Nature Sauvage collection, the natural animals associated with Cartier are vividly and delicately brought to life through the precision of high jewellery. Using a variety of block-forming techniques and a distinctive colour palette of gemstones, the collection tells a story that is both ethereal and vibrant. Each necklace represents an animal and is a masterpiece that affirms the timeless appeal of high jewellery.
“ Nature Savage offers a new perspective on the world of animals at Cartier. Each piece of jewellery represents a unique personality and vitality of each animal. Like a brilliant performer, shapes, volumes and optical illusions play together to open up a realm of imagination,” said Jacqueline Karachi, Director of Fine Jewellery at Cartier.
Chryseis Necklace
Inspired by the fragile beauty of the butterfly with its open wings and Cartier’s signature red, blue and black, the necklace represents a sparkling dream. The black and white wings contrast perfectly with the red and blue chalcedony bracelet. The 63.76 carat red ruby at the center further enhances the vibrant beauty of this animal.
Sibana Necklace
The crocodile, a symbol of the power of nature, is now reinterpreted by Cartier in an exquisite design. Its majestic beauty is expressed through the precious stones carefully selected by the jeweler. The highlight of the necklace is the “scales” made of rare sugar loaf emeralds, skillfully combined with diamonds to create a mesmerizing visual effect, as if they are slowly floating along the water.
Panther Chatoyante Necklace
Cartier's proud panther is placed at the center of the necklace with its piercing emerald eyes and delicate fur made of diamonds and onyx. The necklace opens in a mesmerizing spectrum of rubies, chrysoprase, opulent emeralds and accents of black lacquer, bringing irresistible charm and powerful beauty.
Vamana Necklace
The majestic elephant image is delicately reproduced by Cartier on the necklace with abstract stylized art. The precious stones are skillfully arranged in angular shapes but still gently hug the neck in a noble way thanks to the delicate and precise joints. The emerald "eyes" contrast with the triangular, diamond and kite-shaped cut diamonds, creating a sharp beauty.
