Two predators lurk behınd dıamond pavé and mosaıc scales

Animalistic motifs in the novelties of the Cartier Surnaturel jewelry collection.

In addition to the Surnaturel high jewelry collection unveiled in July, Cartier launched several other jewelry pieces this fall. Two sets in white and rose gold were inspired by carnivorous animals: the crocodile and the Maison’s signature panther.

This jungle dweller has accompanied Cartier for over a hundred years. Surnaturel jewelry interprets the image of the animal in an abstract way – black onyx and emerald are woven into a geometric ornament, framed by pavé diamonds. This disguise skillfully hides the predator, but reminds of her bearing and grace. This time the crocodile was depicted in a mosaic of warm coral shades, diamonds and mother of pearl – it imitates his skin.

Cartier shows love for nature not only in their collections, but also confirms in practice. At the end of September the Jewelry House announced the start of cooperation with The Lion’s Share Fund. Gucci also joined the organization in February this year. Participating brands will now donate 0.5% of their media investment each time an animal image appears in their ad.
