Cartier Libre pushes creative boundaries and shakes up conventions. Each year, a new collection created in total freedom by the design studios draws on unprecedented inspiration to reveal bold and radical pieces, produced in limited edition series.
The latest opus, Tressage, marks a new era for Cartier Libre, presenting a jewellery collection for the very first time. The collection presents three distinct aesthetics that play with themes of goldwork, volume and games of contrast – drawing on the stylistic heritage of Jeanne Toussaint, Creative Director from 1933.
Their generous volumes and seductive tactility invite interaction and evoke emotions, a promising beginning for a creative field in constant evolution.
TRESSAGE
The latest addition to the Cartier Libre collection, Tressage brings together three aesthetics that reinterpret the goldwork, volume and the interplay of contrasts – as well as a unique creation that is both cape and jewel, born of a collaboration with a Parisian stylist.
GOLD BEAD CHAINS AND PRECIOUS ROLLERS
A ring and a bracelet, radiant gold jewellery with generous volumes. Precious clinking creations, who tactile material is composed of a multitude of gold beads – an emblematic shape for the Maison, from the time of Jeanne Toussaint.
MATERIALS IN TENSION
Cartier pushes the boundaries of appearance and transforms hard materials – gold and stone – to give the illusion of supple, living forms that precious bonds cannot seem to contain.
TWISTED CORAL, BRAIDED DIAMONDS AND GOLD
Gold, diamonds and coral: this colour palette is in keeping with Jeanne Toussaint’s chromatic heritage. Cartier transposes it into a game of illusion: a powerful trompe-l’oeil creation with a meticulous composition.
A CAPE TRANSFORMED
A unique piece of jewellery that combines a rock spirit with a couture construction. This truly elegant adornment begins as a precious cape that transforms into a flowing jewellery set, starting with a choker before twirling around the neck.
AT THE CROSSROADS OF EXCEPTIONAL SAVOIR-FAIRE
This unique piece is the result of a collaboration between one of the creation studio’s designers and a Parisian fashion stylist.
The delicate balance of pureness and provocation, together with tension and limitless self-expression, reflects the expertise of each artisan and the Maison’s passion for always achieving more.
