Cartier is no exception, with this season boasting styles on Elle Fanning, Catherine Deneuve, and Gong Li. However, to introduce its 115-piece “En Equilibre” collection, the Place Vendôme jewelry house explored a new region, Stockholm, Sweden, where they unveiled the collection.

To celebrate, the brand hosted a formal gala evening at Artipelag art gallery on the waters of the archipelago. The celebration festivities began in Stockholm proper with an exhibition of the collection in the historic Nacka Strandmässen industrial building featuring an open sky vista where guests witness Maison’s expert artisans demonstrate the savoir-faire behind the Panthère Dentelée necklace.

Highlights of the new collections include The Tsagaan necklace, which features a subtly discernible image of a snow leopard—whose coat makes it hard to spot in the wild— which is mimicked in the diamond and black onyx necklace with an angular design that comes to a point in the center where the face of the elusive big cat appears. Three octagonal emeralds inspired the Traforato necklace, which also has a sharp design motif with a setting that resembles a zig-zag and a cascade of round diamonds hanging from diamond and emerald baguettes. Two shield-cut diamonds inspire the Skudo ring with a graphic and balanced appearance, reaching a point at the ring top.

According to a collection release, En Equilibre echoes the design space with a visual harmony that balances colors, length, and volume and ‘the space between full and empty and symmetry and asymmetry.’ Stockholm also expressed the equilibrium, where creativity and design evoke the balance between urban life and nature and innovation and tradition. Its balance recalls a ‘sense of minimalism or lagom: neither too much nor too little.’
