AN UNEXPECTED ENCOUNTER
CARTIER releases their latest high jewelry collection Magnitude, an unanticipated assemblage of precious stones and ornamental hard stones that marries opacity with transparency, shades with shimmer, earth with light
APHÉLIE
A golden brown rutilated quartz adorns a pink gold necklace, the striking gem mesmerizes with its warm hues and effects of depth and transparency. Tassels arranged in a sunray motif around the cabochon unleash the sun-drenched brilliance of the inclusions. The needles woven within complement the round central stone with the beads of morganite countering the jagged diamond set with onyx edges. Touches of coral and pink diamonds enrich the color palette as the onyx punctuates the relief and creates perspective.
THÉIA
A delicate placement of seven round-shaped Colombian emeralds inside leveled rock crystal motifs is a masterful collision of precious stones. Against the skin, the reverse of the rock crystal section is faceted throughout. It is a technique that is invisible to the eye but adds sparkle to the emeralds. The necklace exhibits the brand’s signature color scheme of black and green. The pendant of the necklace may be removed and worn as a brooch or on a chain, a transformable piece in the tradition of the Maison.
SORELI
At the center of this secret watch is cabochoncut rutilated quartz laden with inclusions. Honeyed tones and cabochon curve intensify the piece’s radiant qualities with kiteshaped and brilliant diamonds flanking the translucent stone. The organic material of the stone is a stunning contrast to the order of complex graphic motifs composed of diamonds—a magnificent allusion to white bracelets in the Art Deco style. A touch of a tiny button opens the cover halfway; lifting it reveals the watch dial.
YUMA
An ode to the sun’s vibrant palette of colors, an intricate assortment of diamonds that ranges from golden yellow to brown enrich the necklace.
The dazzling effect is further amplified by its large number of cuts, vivid colors, and shimmering tones with the graphic lines emphasizing the radiant effect of the solar necklace. Fashioned with subtle refinement, the piece is articulated to create additional fluidity and mobility, a powerful testament of the brand’s high jewelry expertise.
ZEMIA
A well-crafted bracelet embellished with blue and purple sapphires, garnets, and diamonds, it is an opulent display of Cartier’s design philosophy. At the center, a 77.27-carat matrix opal sets the tone for the exquisite piece, highlighting the thoughtful decisions made in putting together a myriad of materials and colors. Potent colors of rocky brown, aquatic and icy blues, and flashes of purple and the harmonies of earthy colors make for a dazzling visual symphony.
ÉQUINOXE
An entire universe unfurls from a nebula of yellow, orange, and white diamonds, orange-toned yellow sapphire, and lapis lazuli. A central sapphire embodies the sun and illuminates the piece, with pure blue and harmonies of yellow meticulously arranged in wonderful bursts of color surrounding it. The stars are the diamonds, an openwork lacy constellation that glimmers on the skin. The lapis lazuli is the perfect representation of the space and the night sky, enhanced by sprinklings of pyrite dust. CARTIER is located at Greenbelt 4 and Shangri-La Plaza
