Cartier can see both life and movement in nature’s perfection. A bird’s plumage becomes the abstract motif of a choker composed of the 42.44-carat ensemble of five Zambian emeralds. Each gem is highlighted by a curve of square diamonds trimmed with custom-cut onyx that punctuates the pear-shaped diamond at the end. Behind this rhythmic composition lies two feats of jewellery-making prowess: first, the necklace’s suppleness is made possible by the use of invisible articulations; second, the emeralds seem to rest on top of the diamond plumage thanks to their prong-less settings.
