Luxury jewelers are making waves with breathtaking high jewelry collections that celebrate nature in all its glory, flaunting the lavish brilliance of colored diamonds and gemstones.
Masterpieces inspired by the wonders of the wild are taking center stage in 2024. Cartier’s "Nature Sauvage" collection comes alive under the hands of skilled artisans, paying homage to the beauty of the natural world.
Cartier tells the story of nature’s grandeur beautifully: “These jewelry designs perfectly capture fleeting moments and tell mesmerizing stories. A turtle escapes from the pendant of a necklace, transforming into a brooch; a flamingo hides among emerald reeds, exuding grace. The designs are eclectic, untamed, and strikingly lifelike.”
The standout piece in the collection is the "Panthère Jaillissante" white gold ring-bracelet, featuring a breathtaking 8.63-carat Zambian emerald, adorned with sapphires, onyx, and diamonds.
"The entire ring-bracelet is hinged, adding movement to the piece with just the slightest flick of the wrist. The supple, powerful panther form is a testament to Cartier’s mastery, with intricately sculpted limbs that are an exquisite achievement."
De Beers Jewellers also made a grand statement with its "Forces of Nature" collection, celebrating the majestic charm of the animal kingdom. Consisting of 58 unique pieces across eight groups, the collection pays tribute to the native species of Southern Africa, close to the brand's headquarters.
"Forces of Nature" is De Beers’ largest high jewelry collection to date, featuring timeless necklaces, dazzling bracelets, cocktail rings, and other intricate pieces like cufflinks, brooches, and headbands. These sculptural jewels boast intricate detailing and an assortment of diamond cuts, colors, textures, and setting techniques, evoking the vivid diversity of nature.
Nearly half of the pieces include detachable components, allowing wearers to easily switch up styles, enhancing versatility and making these stunning jewels perfect for any occasion.
