DREAM SEQUENCE

CARTIER HAS ALWAYS collaborated with the best, and its latest brings together the worlds of high jewellery and film. The brand has become the official jewellery partner for the action-packed Ocean’s 8. The jewellery house was asked to specifically create a jewel for the big heist in the film. The piece, called the Jeanne Toussaint necklace, pays homage to the brand’s creative director from the 1930s, who was the first woman to embody Cartier’s bold and fearless spirit.She turned to India for inspiration in a big way throughout her career. While the original piece was designed in 1931 for the Maharaja of Nawanagar by Jacques Cartier, it has been aptly described as a dream sequence using coloured diamonds. Ocean’s 8 has an all-woman cast that is gutsy and pulls off an insane heist. Cartier’s jewels will feature prominently in the film.
