At the centre of this necklace, which pays homage to Art Deco aesthetics, is an 8.15-carat rectangular-cut diamond. Surrounding it are 20 diamonds of a similar shape, forming an exceptional ensemble mounted on a radiant structure composed of symmetrical elements separated by onyx accents.
This necklace pairs an 11.70-carat pear-shaped Ceylon sapphire with eight Zambian emeralds totalling 8.94 carats in a signature chromatic accord. The design unfolds in a series of graphic motifs that enhance the cushion shape of the emeralds.
At the centre is a deep blue 41.85-carat sapphire from Madagascar. All around, supple waves, remarkable for their volume, are composed of diamonds and calibrated sapphires, which create depth.
Placed majestically, two opals distil their multicoloured iridescence over the entire necklace. The reflections of red, orange and yellow are echoed by the three coloured sapphires framing each opal. On the necklace, crafted like a yellow and rose gold mesh, the umba sapphires continue this warm wave of light.
Two imposing emeralds are combined with a rare set of carved rubies, of an original baroque cut. Through this botanically inspired composition, Cartier defines a new exploration of the emblematic Tutti Frutti motif.
With a piercing emerald gaze, a snake is proudly guarding an exceptional 51.70-carat aquamarine. Kite-shaped diamonds add a graphic touch, while aquamarines and tourmalines bring rhythm and movement to the necklace.

An array of diamonds and coloured sapphires in rose gold are set so delicately they appear as lightly as a veil over the skin. They seem to be placed directly onto the neck.
With onyx spots, diamonds and openwork motifs, the lace-like body of the Maison's emblem is given depth. The panther expresses the unprecedented expertise of Cartier jewellers.

A dazzling creation is deciphered and its beauty is revealed through precious details.

This necklace captures the essence of the snow leopard: rare and elusive. With a trompe-l'œil effect, the interplay of lines makes the feline's head appear or disappear.
Three octagonal Colombian emeralds form the central axis of a geometric mesh. The surrounding openwork structure presents a signature colour combination: black, white and green.
An exceptional 58.08 carat sapphire cabochon inspires a necklace dedicated to the peacock. The structure, a series of openwork motifs, is reminiscent of the majestic creature's tail.
A precious, fluid creation this ring showcases a 6.98 carat cabochon-cut ruby from Vietnam, surrounded by a volouptuous ribbon that wraps around itself.
The Maison's green, red and black colour palette returns, radiating from a 25.54 carat cabochon-cut rubellite surrounded by emerald cabochons and rubellite beads with a touch of onyx.
It's always a question of precision when it comes to stones: harmony is everywhere. This vision is at the origin of these two creations: a graphic ring with two shield diamonds and another dominated by a 13.35 carat Ceylon sapphire.
With intense colours and pronounced volumes, Cartier showcases its panther. A realistic interpretation appears on the necklace, perched on a cabochon of coral, while the ring plays with abstraction through a punctuation of onyx spots.
"Nothing but the essential" is the creative intention behind this refined design. It combines a chromatic trio emblematic of Cartier's jewellery creations – black, white, and green – with the rare troïdia-cut diamond.
