New Cartier collection: Sixième Sens jewelry
The jewels in the new Cartier collection are emotional and expressive. They feature unique textures that reflect light. They reflect the natural hues of nature's treasures, while importing the celestial to earth. Cartier Sixième Sens jewels evoke abundance . For example, the saturation of colors of ripe fruits, the organic curves and lines of nature, the light and gravity of the night sky. The jewels come to life on the skin, and in turn, the body becomes more alive through the adornment of the jewels. How can we highlight the art of Nature in a jewelry collection? We can do so through a sparkling 8.20 carat ruby, encapsulated in the Phaan ring , a contrast of stones and hues giving life to the multi-level construction with a 4.01 carat rose-cut diamond.
Sixth Sense necklaces and rings
The intensity of art and emotion of Sixième Sens jewelry can be symbolized by the Meride necklace . It is a piece of dramatic yet delicate architecture, made of diamonds, onyx and rock crystal. This Cartier necklace features a checkerboard print pattern that comes to life with movement. As breathtaking as a wondrous landscape, the Pixelage necklace (above) evokes joy, a bountiful harvest, a happy fusion. With its zigzag pattern made of layers of golden topaz, polished onyx and white, yellow and orange diamonds, this unique and intricate necklace has the stealth and beauty of a feline, the geometric design and versatility of nature's most majestic creatures.
The Parhelia ring (below) evokes the depth of the ocean, the vast expanse of the seas. In the center is a 21.51 carat sapphire cabochon, whose surface imitates water with its deep blue. It is surrounded by 5 parentheses of diamonds and emeralds. The depth is obtained by the shadow effect of the black lacquer, and like water, the ring has its wavelets on the sides. The upper part can be detached to become a brooch .
Luxury is a hallmark of the Alaxoa and Sharkara necklaces , two dynamic pieces composed respectively of emeralds and colored sapphires (pink sapphire, etc.), garnets and diamonds, offering a contrast between the green of the hills and the red of the embers of the earth. The collection is completed by the Coruscant necklace , a tribute to the historic style of the Maison. It features a geometric repeating pattern made up of a compact series of brilliant diamonds.
Sixth Sense Jewelry: The Book
Few are the lucky ones who will be able to own a Cartier Sixième Sens jewel. This does not prevent them from being admired via the book by François Chaille: " Sixième Sens par Cartier – Haute joaillerie et objets précieuses ", published by Flammarion.
Call it heart, soul or emotion. The sixth sense, which gives its name to Cartier’s latest high jewelry collection, can be hard to pin down. Its manifestations, however, are easy to recognize. It could be a thrill of excitement that runs through you when contemplating a work of art or a precious stone.
Delving into the Cartier style
In “Sixième Sens par Cartier — Haute Joaillerie et Objets Précieux,” author François Chaille develops a narrative that revolves around emotional design by connecting elements as eclectic as a Renaissance tapestry of a woman and her jewelry box, Mexican diva Maria Felix, and, say, a photo of a rock formation. He even touches on the roots of Cartier’s aesthetic , nodding to his use of colors popular in the Indian jewelry tradition, or graphic designs that drew on the “modern style” he pioneered in the early decades of the 20th century.
With close-ups and gouache illustrations of each piece, as well as archival documents from the house, this book offers novices a first step into the world of Cartier style. And for those already familiar with the house, they will find a wealth of content to go further by immersing themselves in the modern creations of the French jeweler.
