This week, Cartier launched their new high jewellery collection, Beautés du Monde, and Wanted Online was in Madrid, Spain, for an exclusive viewing of the elegant pieces. 

Inspired by the earth and all its elements, this latest collection evokes a sensory awakening — one that reminds you of the wondrous nature of the world through jewellery. 

For Cartier, this collection is about “capturing the beauty of the world [and] looking at it through a spectrum of colours, shapes and evocative materials.”

Distinctive designs that are a feast for the eyes and the exquisite craftsmanship told through the story of each piece make this collection an embodiment of art itself. 

Here’s a look at the necklaces in the Cartier Beautés du Monde high jewellery collection:

 Cartier on this design: “A powerful and hypnotic snake whose beauty and incredible flexibility Cartier enhances through this new interpretation. An expression of Cartier style, this snake is at the crossroads of major influences for the Maison, between realism, stylisation and abstraction.”

Cartier on this design: “Here, it is not a question of reproducing a butterfly figuratively, but of suggesting it through an abstract composition, a display of shimmering colours that evoke the idea of the most marvellous of insects from far and wide.”

Cartier on this design: “Texture, dimension, it is the skin of the green iguana that inspired the Maison’s design studios to create this set. It reveals its beauty through a necklace abundant with diamonds and emeralds.
