BOTH BEAUTY and BEAST?
BOTH BEAUTY and BEAST?
Source: [vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] <h4>Clash de Cartier is an irresistible paradox: true to the maison’s heritage and yet utterly contemporary, the collection embodies a harmonious duality of hard and fluid, strong and supple, refined and fearless.</h4> [/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Cartier was founded on audacity, a courageous creativity that has pushed the boundaries of beauty, form and function in jewellery, watchmaking and perfumery since 1847. Its timeless pieces, from the Pilot Watch to the Love Bracelet, have become icons of exceptional craftsmanship and instantly recognisable design. Such heritage sets a high benchmark for a young collection. But Clash de Cartier defies all expectations of what Cartier jewellery should look like, while remaining absolutely true to the spirit and values of the maison. Here, femininity and sophistication meet a hunger for adventure and freedom from convention in a range of rings, earrings, bracelets and necklaces cast in warm rose and cool white gold. Each piece is almost architectural in its enjoyment of form, playing with silhouette and volume, their proportions in perfect balance. The combinations of polished studs, clous carrés and beads are irresistibly tactile, begging to be touched. Though their configurations here are thoroughly modern, the forms honour Cartier’s historic embrace of geometry in their pioneering Art Deco creations of the 1930s. From the outside, this collection’s strength lies in the simplicity of its artistry: strong shapes, clean lines, perfect finish. But beneath the polished surface lies a complex feat of engineering. Cartier’s jewellers have developed an ingenious system of articulation, in which each element is precisely calibrated and magnetised so the studs are secure yet supple, moving against each other fluidly, with softly scalloped inner edges for total comfort. Against the skin, light flickers over the rippling shapes to create the illusion of softness in sculpted metal, while projecting strength in both style and substance. Worn here by British-Brazilian beauty Kaya Scodelario, as comfortable in fierce leather as in fine silk, the Clash de Cartier collection is the embodiment of elegance with edge, simultaneously refined and rebellious.[/vc_column_text][thb_gap height="32"][thb_image alignment="center" image="23009" img_size="full"][thb_gap height="32"][vc_column_text]<strong>Clash de Cartier Supple</strong> The collection has now expanded, leaning into both sides of Clash de Cartier’s deliciously contradictory character.
