As its name suggests, Cartier’s ‘Clash de Cartier‘ collection is an unapologetic celebration of contrasts, where classic meets eccentric, structured meets fluid, understated meets bold. Introduced in 2019, the collection has quickly become a standout expression of the Maison’s expertise in balancing opposites. What started as a fusion of delicate mesh and solid volumes has since evolved, amplifying both the aesthetic and the luxurious impact of its designs.
From rings to earrings, necklaces to bracelets, the ‘Clash de Cartier’ pieces embrace an elevated, contemporary spirit with oversized studs, precious stones, and diamonds that enhance their already striking design. But it’s the XL version that truly brings this collection to life. These bold creations take everything that’s iconic about Cartier—sophisticated lines, impeccable craftsmanship, and classic elegance—and push it to new heights with even larger, more impactful volumes. Think rose gold studs, glossy diamonds, and beads that elevate these pieces into objects of irresistible appeal.
Each piece in this collection is designed with movement in mind. Whether you’re sliding on a supple necklace, adjusting a flexible bracelet, or slipping into a pair of earrings, the fluidity and radiance of the jewelry reflect light in ways that make it impossible to look away. The use of materials like chrysoprase, amazonite, and even Tahitian pearls adds an element of surprise, while the intricate assembly—handcrafted with almost 50 hours of meticulous work per piece—ensures that each design is as unique as the person wearing it.
What truly sets Clash de Cartier apart, however, is its dynamic flexibility. Some pieces feature fully paved shimmering diamonds, while others boast all-gold or all-diamond variations, ensuring there’s a style for every kind of wearer. These designs are meant to be lived in, worn, and adored, with their fluid, geometric structure that works just as well for a quiet evening or a statement-making night out.
