Cartier: Nature Sauvage High Jewelry and Precious Objects

This refined volume documents the new collection of nature-inspired high jewelry from Cartier.

In their latest high jewelry collection, Cartier unveils a new facet of its fauna through fascinating creations. The panther, tiger, snake, zebra, and birds—these emblematic animals are an infinite source of creativity and inspire new and majestic encounters with the natural realm. They are the protagonists of a tale, staged in their natural environment or in unexpected, sometimes mysterious worlds.

The pieces invite those who contemplate them to immerse themselves in the settings and brilliance of the gems, and to let the marvelous story that they represent resonate within. For these creations appeal to our deepest nature, allowing each of us the freedom, when we feel an affinity, to make their universe our own.
