Gemstones inform the design of the Le Chœur des Pierres jewellery by Cartier
Coloured stones are fun and vibrant, but only in the right hands can they transcend the ordinary into the extraordinary. A luxury maison with over 170 years of heritage, Cartier is more than up to the challenge, as the Le Chœur des Pierres collection proves.
The high jewellery collection lets coloured gemstones guide its design, expressed through surprising colour combinations, light play and contrast, as well as volume and structure. Like an orchestra conductor, Cartier harmonises the precious materials so that they resonate as one.
To personify the luxurious exuberance of Le Chœur des Pierres, Cartier has tapped Anna Sawai, the incandescent Emmy-winning star of Shōgun. “What I love about Le Chœur des Pierres is the feeling it evokes. There’s a strength and elegance to the collection that I found incredibly inspiring. It’s a beautiful reminder of how artistry and craftsmanship can come together to create something truly timeless,” she said.

The collection is simply a delightful ode to gemstones.
The Stellara necklace, for instance, draws you in with a regal 41.01-carat Ceylon blue sapphire, its beauty amplified by a constellation of diamonds in different shapes and sizes.

These stones don’t just illuminate necklaces; Cartier has fashioned a range of earrings designed to light up the face. For instance, the asymmetrical Volubia gives emeralds and diamonds top billing, with a mix of baguette and briolette cuts spicing up the script. The vivid colours and fluid shape do more than make a pretty statement—they bring a radiant glow.
