CARTIER

It is undeniable that the Parisian maison’s forte lies in its ability to interpret beauty from wherever it is found, and transpose it onto the most magnificent jewels.

Beautés du Monde, Cartier’s new high jewellery collection, is no different. The play of gemstones amplifies the elements of nature and cultures from which this

new collection draws inspiration. A fine example is this Apatura Necklace. To reflect the iridescent hues of the butterfly’s wings, designers and gemologists looked for stones whose colours best matched the fire of the necklace’s three Australian opals, totalling 22.08 carats. The result: gems in shades reminiscent of a blaze of rainbow hues are arranged in an array of geometric patterns comprising diamond bars, orange sapphires and strands of threaded sapphire beads.

Made in the Cartier tradition of transformable jewellery, the central pendant is detachable and can be worn as a brooch.
