True to the Cartier brothers' passion for the earth and its natural beauties, the newest collection of high jewellery brings the wonders of nature and cultural splendours from all four corners of the globe into dialogue. Sublimated by the interplay of stones and drawings, the inspirations give rise to highly stylised, even abstract compositions of a new genre.

A coral reef entwines the length of a flamboyant necklace, an iguana skin transforms into a geometric matrix, and a Chinese puzzle box reveals a kaleidoscopic ring. Natural treasures and the fruits of human creativity meet in the purity of original compositions, revealing the unique dimensions of a multi-faceted universe that showcases all of the richness of the natural world and the Cartier universe.

Cartier: Beautés du Monde by François Chaille is a celebration of these extraordinary creations, capturing the essence of both the natural world and the unmatched artistry of Cartier.
