It is nature that sets the tone of Surnaturel, the new kaleidoscopic Cartier High Jewelry

 

 

More natural than nature itself: The New Cartier High Jewelry Collection.

@Cartier Surnaturel

Cartier opens the way to a nature reinvented: [Sur]naturel. The new High Jewelry Collection paves the way to beauty more real than nature itself, rooted in reality and transformed into the realm of the supernatural. Diamonds, emeralds and sapphires mix with opal and kunzite, coral and aquamarine, beryl and quartz.

The starting point of the collection begins on a journey revealed by nature itself, from figuration to abstraction. Water, flora and fauna breathe life into an ultra-precious universe that exists at the boundaries of fantasy and reality.

The idea behind Cartier’s mesmerising collection is to invoke the precious stones’ evocative powers by infusing wilderness with fantasy. The collection features diamonds, emeralds and sapphires which are teamed with opal and kunzite, coral, aquamarine and beryl and quartz. So if you’re someone who desires a bijoux piece that connects you with nature, spiritually and physically, consider this collection made with Cartier‘s renowned savoir faire,” wrote harpersbazaar.com.sg
