Clash [Un] Limited Cartier: More Rebellious Than Ever

More mesmerizing than ever, the latest Clash de Cartier jewelry pieces rebel against classic forms. With their exaggerated volumes, intensely black, oversized studs, and bold wearing options, they reinvent Clash de Cartier. An expression of extreme tension, a clash of opposites: geometric lines combined with inflated volumes. These new jewelry pieces echo and amplify the clash of two opposing attitudes.

A collection of exclusive limited-edition jewelry pieces that highlight the Clash de Cartier stud. Excessive, spiky, and voluminous. A radical approach to precious jewelry in white and in black, occasionally punctuated with hints of purple. A stud magnetized by diamonds. Radiance is taken to new heights, the light is stunning, bouncing off the curved studs. An oversized stud, an onyx and diamond cone of extraordinary proportions—more provocative than ever. Amethyst studs form a purple crest of intense, punk color creating a strong, emphatic contrast. “Mitten” watches, pocket gems, two-finger rings, stacked rings, ear jewelry, clips to be worn inside or along with the ear or reversible bracelets and necklaces, the Clash [Un]limited collection makes fun of style rules. Jewelry pieces with multiple uses, like this articulated ring dotted with pyramidal diamond and onyx studs that can be opened and worn as a midi ring. A stud with four sharp sides, a pyramid paved with diamonds, and onyx studs that structure the pieces. A “mitten” watch that links the art of jewelry, fashion, and watchmaking. Remarkably supple and sensual to wear, this unique piece is made up of a rose gold mesh set with a constellation of diamonds surrounding a Baignoire Allongée watch hemmed with studs.

Rule breakers—both innovative and surprising, the Clash [Un]limited pieces have been the subject of many workshop hours at the Cartier design studios. The collection explores all kinds of possibilities with a novel approach to using diamonds, onyx, and amethyst. A matter of creative audacity that allows Cartier to revisit the traditional tennis line. How? By reversing the diamonds. The pavilion becomes a stud, a decorative element that echoes the spirit of the collection, and the flat table surface is now on the skin side, unable to be touched.

It imposes its sensations of movement on the skin, as a counterpoint to the rigorous geometry of the jewelry. A workshop achievement that produces the ultra-flexibility of a cuff or choker with onyx clous carrés and diamond studs, all fully articulated. Everything is playful and sensorial. The necklace is made up of more than 8,000 diamonds and more than 200 onyx clous carrés.

The multi-stud rings and bracelets feature pyramid-shaped cones that are mobile and precisely separate one from the other. All the studs can move laterally, connected to an onyx bead found on the inside that rotates on its axis. Shagreen setting: a setting made up of a complex and meticulous selection of stones in different sizes that hold themselves together without the need for claws. The choice of stones: amethyst studs, hand-cut natural stones whose volume is altered by Cartier, crafting a play of proportions that grows increasingly wider against a backdrop of diamond paving.

As a leading globally conscious brand, Cartier is committed to sustainably and responsibly sourcing its materials. A commitment that is illustrated by the responsible sourcing of diamonds from areas that are free from conflict, in compliance with the Kimberley Process and World Diamond Council regulations.

Today, 100% of Cartier diamonds are part of sustainable collaboration with trusted suppliers who are committed to respecting best social and environmental practices, which for the most part are certified by the Responsible Jewellery Council.

In the Philippines, Cartier is exclusively distributed by Stores Specialists, Inc., and is located at Greenbelt 4, Shangri-La Plaza, and Solaire Resort & Casino.
