The Euphonia, Splendea, Parcae and Ondora necklaces are spectacular statement pieces featuring diamonds, sapphires and rubies as well as other precious stones

For its nearly 180 years of history, the soul of Cartier has been a story of harmony and balance. The iconic Parisian luxury jeweller, the choice of royalty and celebrity alike since the 19th century, has constantly retained at its core a commitment to taking disparate elements and combining them to create perfectly proportioned jewellery artworks that showcase sumptuous stones at their very best. Its latest high jewellery collection makes that commitment explicit, taking those qualities as its guiding theme, something that’s reflected in its name: En Équilibre, meaning “in balance” in French.

The collection was first unveiled to the world in a drop of more than 100 pieces in the middle of last year, which took place in Stockholm, paying tribute to Scandinavian notions of harmony. Chapter two followed a few months later, first seeing the light of day in another harmonious location, next to the Summer Palace in Beijing. Now a third chapter has been written into the story, with the release of a quartet of spectacular necklaces. Like their predecessors in the collection, they embody Cartier’s mastery of balance, from their elegant form to their palettes of complementary colours.
