Grain de Café
From a coffee bean, Cartier has created a solar collection of absolute elegance. Creations that combine the glamour of the 1950s Côte d'Azur with the radiant beauty of Grace Kelly. Inspiration drawn from the heart of the Maison’s stylistic vocabulary, based on two cherished elements at Cartier: flora crafted in yellow gold and the ordinary made precious.
A solar collection
Radiance, light, mobility: Grain de Café radiates a solar aura on the skin.
As tassels on rings, earrings or necklaces, the coffee beans - set with diamonds, rubellites or obsidian - move with the slightest gesture to create a precious rattle.
A dynamic savoir-faire
Playing with the pendants, multiplying radiance and shimmer: for the jewellers, the objective was to combine mobility and sensuality. The movement of endlessly sparkling clusters. The sensuality of materials is an invitation to touch. 30 craftsmen participated in the creation of this collection and more than 60 prototypes were required.

A signature jewel worn by an iconic princess
The Grain de Café design/motif first appeared in the Maison’s repertoire in 1938 under legendary Creative Director Jeanne Toussaint. It became an icon of jewellery in the 1950s, when it was adopted by newly crowned Princess Grace of Monaco, taking its aura of glamour and sophistication even further in the global imagination.
