Nature Sauvage,  the Cartier High Jewelry collection, presents a theatre of apparitions where precious animals parade. Like actors, each character plays with volume and optical illusion, breaking free from a naturalist representation and blending into an imaginary landscape. Their magnetic and contrasting energy is expressed with grace by the Global Ambassador Deepika Padukone.

Celestun is the long-necked bird with a beak enhanced by black lacquer and rose gold takes shape within a stylized landscape. A myriad of emeralds evokes a reed bush, while punctuations of aquamarine recall an aquatic environment.

Panthère jaillissante is fully articulated ring-bracelet that adds a wild energy to even the smallest of gestures. With its slender limbs, diamond coat flecked with sapphires and emerald eyes, the panther watches us, ready to pounce at any moment, as the fierce guardian of a Zambian emerald.

Koaga is enhanced by the precise, stylized lines of the design. The zebra, an animal dear to Cartier, holds an emerald-cut diamond and a 6.25-carat pear-shaped rubellite in its mouth. Its emblematic coat creates a graphic play of alternating onyx stripes, and lines paved with brilliant- and emerald-cut diamonds allow openwork to reveal the skin.

Mochelys combines surprise and creativity with a turtle that is concealed within a seemingly entirely abstract necklace, enhancing an imposing 71.90-carat rubellite. The game of camouflage is revealed alongside its versatility: the animal appears in its entirety, head and legs included, when detached to turn it into a brooch.

Amphista is sinuous and symmetrical with two snakes with their diamond scales are set with emeralds, and their heads crowned with kite-shaped diamonds. Between them are nine octagonal emeralds from Colombia totalling 14.72 carats.
