Cartier’s latest high jewellery collection, Nature Sauvage, invites wearer into a captivating world where precious animals come alive, each sharing their unique stories through dazzling displays of craftsmanship and artistry. Captured in a fleeting moment, these creatures leap off the page, transforming the traditional boundaries of jewellery design. A turtle escapes from the pendant of a necklace to become a brooch, while a pink flamingo stretches its neck towards a lush bush of emerald reeds.


The style is free and figurative, as a snow leopard treads softly across an icy landscape formed of diamonds and rock crystal. Under the watchful eye of the Cartier designers, the collection takes on an even more radical and abstract form. Inspired by the scales of a crocodile, a ring emerges with an incredible sense of architectural wonder, blurring the lines between wearable art and haute couture. There’s a distinct playfulness to the Nature Sauvage collection, a joyful game of hide-and-seek where creatures appear in the most unexpected places.


Cartier delights in breaking free from the confines of nature, as animals escape their natural environments to enter new realms. A snake splits in two to become a necklace, while its scales are transformed into an urban chessboard. The silhouette of a beetle emerges from a necklace with an abstract motif, reminiscent of a towering skyscaper. Through Nature Sauvage, Cartier invites everyone to step into a world where the boundaries between nature and imagination blur. where precious creatures come alive amd captivate everyone with their wild and untamed spirit. It’s a theatre of apparitions, where the unexpected reigns supreme and the jewellery becomes a canvas of the most daring and innovativee designs.
