In true essence of the word "clash", that is exactly what we have come to discover of Cartier's Clash De Cartier.

So what is "clashing" exactly? Seen as a far departure from the classical, Clash De Cartier explores all different types of oppositions. We see here, a collection of fine jewellery that is both bold and subtle, charming and assertive, masculine and feminine and sharp and gentle. And as Cartier proclaims themselves, "A classic style? No! It’s neo-classical, singular, unisex, whimsical."

 

 

Clash De Cartier is a house icon. A collection that deeply explores intricacies in geometry, dualities, fine jewellery mechanics and most importantly, imbuing a clash of attitudes. Simple it may look, however do not to be fooled. The collection is complex with detailed craftsmanship. Each Clash De Cartier stud is made both interconnected and mobile - magnetised with each process calling for an entirely new technique and tool.

 

 

The collection begs, "too much? Or not enough?" and asks - is it "classic or eccentric?". With each piece made and assembled to offer the wearer a multitude of ways to wear and be styled, the collection takes its forms in rose gold and white gold, Tahitian pearls, diamonds and black onyx beads; effortlessly attracting the attention it wants and needs.

And better yet, the House remains committed in its dedication to fashion sustainability and global responsibility in the making of Clash De Cartier. Illustrating initiatives in continuing to reduce the House's environmental impact, Cartier has sourced and implemented the use of recycled gold and also in working with small-scale mines that ensure safe practices and human rights as certified by the Responsible Jewellery Council.

 

 

Cartier's Clash De Cartier collection "simultaneously champions and eschews classic forms [and] shakes up the Maison’s aesthetic heritage of studs, beads andclous carrés... Clash de Cartier is a chic balancing act - a mix and match of aristocratic codes. This jewellery takes a swipe at protocol, tradition and liberty. A clash of attitudes."

English actress Kaya Scodelario is fittingly casted as the face of the Clash de Cartier campaign, in all its proportioned, polished and ingenious glory.
