The Cartier brothers—Louis, Pierre and Jacques— have always been avid travellers and their curiosity and exploration of distant lands and cultures inspire every nuance of their designs. Continuing this tradition, the Beautés du Monde High Jewellery collection celebrates the beauty of the natural world and the diversity of cultural traditions.
Drawing on this very spirit of travel and discovery, Cartier brought the collection to our part of the world following its unveiling in Madrid. There in the tranquil setting of Capella Singapore, its grand ballroom was completely transformed into a maze-like exhibition, with mystical arches inviting the curious to explore the thematic salons that house an amazing display of 200 creations, which Tatler was privileged to see up close. Th scenography has a whimsical, otherworldly vibe similar to that of the Madrid installation, which was designed by the Spanish artist and designer Jaime Hayon.
Akin to a cabinet of curiosities, the collection aims to showcase the three important pillars that Cartier has paid homage to for more than a century—the world of minerals, flora and fauna, and that of the cultural and imaginary. Also, influences from China, Russia, India, the Middle East and Africa harkening back to the brothers’ travels abroad inform its design aesthetic through decorative and symbolic motifs.
