"...French luxury jewellery and watchmaking maison Cartier reintroduces its iconic “Clash de Cartier” collection with a bold new design language, masterfully balancing the beauty of duality..."
Embracing the allure of contrast, Cartier’s latest creations amplify the collection’s signature aesthetic with a striking two-sided mesh structure, now larger in scale and adorned with exquisite gemstones. The refined craftsmanship shines through intricate details, including polished gemstone beads that exude sophistication, oversized studs that command attention, and pyramid-shaped studs fully set with diamonds, radiating brilliance from every angle.
Further elevating the maison’s distinctive codes, Cartier introduces XL-sized jewellery pieces, rings, earrings, necklaces, and bracelets, distinguished by bold rose gold studs and intricate beadwork. The Clash de Cartier collection reaches new heights of opulence, especially in its limited-edition pieces, which incorporate rare and precious materials. From coral, amazonite, and Tahitian pearls to the latest addition, absinthe-green chrysoprase—each element is meticulously paired with rose gold studs, lending a captivating contrast to rings, earrings, and bracelets.
Adding another layer of innovation, Cartier presents a new selection of flexible bracelets and necklaces in rose gold, white gold, and fully pavé diamond settings. These exceptional pieces showcase a dynamic chain design, featuring an interplay of studs, beads, and domed square clou carré studs that sit seamlessly against the skin, shimmering effortlessly with movement. This remarkable flexibility is achieved through the meticulous hand-assembly of hundreds of individual components, with each piece requiring nearly 50 hours of craftsmanship.
Taking luxury craftsmanship to the next level, the diamond-set Clash de Cartier edition enhances its sculptural elegance with clou carré studs entirely encrusted with diamonds. Meanwhile, the elongated necklace offers versatility in styling, designed to be worn wrapped twice around the neck, creating fluid movement, playful light reflections, and a newfound sense of freedom in wearability.
