Le Chœur des Pierres: Cartier's Ode to the Gem

by Kat Guerrero

Le Chœur des Pierres — the Chorus of Stones — begins with a simple premise: the stone comes before the design. On Zoe Saldaña, the Panthère Kentia necklace shines with a 50.13-carat Ceylon sapphire at the center. The panther rests at its edge, Cartier's muse since 1914.

Red has always been in Cartier's vocabulary. Tesselia's ruby is Mozambican, 5.24 carats, cushion-cut, and deep red with a unique orange pull.
