Résonances, a stunning series of high jewelery by Cartier ♦︎
The Cartier’s high jewelery virtuosity continues with Résonances. There are not reverberating sounds, but colors, shapes, and volumes. The collection was showed in a gala in New York with Carey Mulligan, Sofia Coppola, Diane Kruger, Martha Stewart, Sofia Boutella, Jason Wu, Fernando Garcia e Laura Kim, Arthur Elgort, Jessica Hart, David Neville and Gucci Westman, Jill Kargman, Nicky Hilton Rothschild, Carolyn Murphy and so on, after an exclusive London club to present a new round of exceptional pieces, of those who go directly in the historical collections. But why are Résonances? The explanation is simple, are the echoes of the very history of the French Maison, one of few which resides in the Olympus of jewelery. The many creations that have marked Cartier’s life in the jewelery come back, in short, not as replicas, but as ideas that offer the opportunity to present a series of pieces of great visual impact. Great diamonds, screaming emeralds, rubies, but also less common stones such as rubellite, peridot, or the rare sugilite.
Resonances are, for example, those of the style Tutti i Frutti, with a bracelet in which the stones are carved just in the form of more, raspberries, pineapple. Or the echoes of the 1920s are in the diamond tiara and a sumptuous cabochon emerald in the center. There are also large necklaces, such as platinum collar with white diamonds, two stones fancy yellow and pearls. Or the Indian style resonances, with the Bangalore necklace, with sapphires, rubies and diamonds cut to pearls or delicate leaves. But, like in other Cartier jewelery collections, every piece has a story behind it. Or resonances. Giulia Netrese
