Designing precious architectures, deepening the possibilities of lines and abstraction, reinventing a palette of chromatic accords, celebrating life and the horizons of the world… Cartier’s latest High Jewellery collection, Le Voyage Recommencé, offers a fruitful exploration of savoir-faire and all the creative registers of the Maison, reviewed through the light of a new prism.
“A journey was restarted at the heart of Cartier creation, like an uninterrupted story that, like guardians and storytellers, we bring to life over time.” Jacqueline Karachi, Creative Director of Cartier High Jewellery
LE VOYAGE RECOMMENCÉ
A journey through the Maison’s savoir-faire and creative practices, experienced through the light of a new vision.
ENTER THE UNIVERSE OF THE COLLECTION
LIGHT MATTERS
Everything at Cartier revolves around the purity of lines, the balance of shapes and volumes, the play of proportions and the final harmony of the entire piece. A strong vision that presides when structures of light are born.
ONDULE RING
At Cartier, precious stones bring out emotions and the intuition of the sublime. Here, a 0.92-carat fancy gray-violet diamond, exceptional due to the rarity of its colour and its weight, is integrated into the heart of a miniature structure. Half-moon diamonds release their radiance around the central stone, transforming its shape and brilliance through a mysterious halo.
SAMA NECKLACE
Animating the inanimate: this is the feat achieved by this necklace, inspired by the dresses of the whirling dervishes. All around the centre stone, a 19.27-carat Ceylon sapphire, curves set with diamonds spin in a striking sensation of movement.
PRECIOUS GEOMETRY
Geometry and contrast are two elements that make up the Cartier style. On the one hand, they are based on form and pattern, developed around symmetry or asymmetry, and on the other, the strength of contrasts.
VESPRO NECKLACE
It is the stones that give rhythm and contrast: rubies, turquoises, spinels, and garnets make up a game of balance between geometric tension and roundness of the beads.
CLAUSTRA NECKLACE
The Claustra necklace showcases a set of shield diamonds, including a remarkable 4.02-carat specimen. Through effects of perspective and interplays of relief, light vibrates and circulates. Onyx alternates with openwork and diamonds in a constantly reinvented contrast that is emblematic of the Maison.
WORLD JEWELLERY
Cartier has always had a passion for the world and its cultures. This taste for curiosity is the legacy of a long lineage that is more contemporary than ever.
PANDJARA NECKLACE
An homage to the Islamic Arts and the mashrabiya, with a game of light and shadows. The central stone is a Fancy deep yellow-brown shield-shaped diamond, which gives rhythm to the design of the necklace.
GIRIH NECKLACE
This necklace offers a refined and graphic interpretation of one of the founding themes of Cartier style: the Islamic arts and the splendor of their architecture. An intensity that draws on the power of harmony between emeralds from Zambia and custom-cut turquoises. The central pendant turns into a brooch.
REAL LIFE
There is nothing romantic or sweet when it comes to Cartier’s representation of nature, a creative tension that ranges from hyper-realism to stylisation and even abstraction.
DISTRYSIA NECKLACE
To begin, there is a 13.78 carat fancy yellow-brown diamond in a modified hexagonal shape. It gives the necklace its asymmetrical structure, composed of white, pink and brown diamonds, lapis lazuli, obsidians, sapphires and amethysts, all cut to measure.
PANTHÈRE GIVRÉE NECKLACE
A new interpretation of Cartier’s emblematic feline, this necklace combines stylisation and figuration. The realism of the head creates a dialogue with the abstraction of the pixelated coat in onyx spots. At its centre are three aquamarines with a total weight of 20.33 carats.
