Luxury jewelers are making waves with stunning high jewelry collections inspired by nature, flaunting the lavish brilliance of colored diamonds and gemstones.
Masterpieces inspired by the wonders of the wild are dazzling audiences throughout 2024. Cartier's "Nature Sauvage" high jewelry collection is brought to life through the hands of skilled artisans, paying homage to the beauty of nature.
Cartier narrates 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 star of the collection is the "Panthère Jaillissante" white gold ring-bracelet featuring a stunning 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 wrist flick. The supple, powerful panther form is a testament to Cartier's mastery of craftsmanship, with intricately sculpted limbs that are an exquisite achievement."
De Beers Jewellers also made a grand statement with the "Forces of Nature" collection, celebrating the majestic charm of the animal kingdom. The collection, consisting of 58 unique high jewelry pieces across eight groups, pays tribute to the native species of Southern Africa, close to the brand’s headquarters.
"Forces of Nature" is De Beers' most extensive high jewelry collection to date, featuring timeless necklaces and earrings, striking bracelets and cocktail rings, as well as cufflinks, lapel pins, brooches, and headbands. The sculptural jewelry boasts intricate detailing, vivid forms, and an assortment of diamond cuts, colors, textures, and setting techniques, evoking the vibrant diversity of nature.
Nearly half of the pieces include detachable components, allowing wearers to easily change styles—enhancing versatility and wearability to suit any occasion.
