The Grand Clash!
The Clash de Cartier collection did not gently settle in, it immediately made its mark.
Since its launch, this line has played on that delightful tension between classicism and controlled provocation. With the latest additions, Cartier pushes the envelope even further. First, the yellow gold. Until now, largely dominated by rose gold, the collection now welcomes necklaces and bracelets entirely flexible in gold. Visually, it's more radiant, more direct. Technically, it's a different story, with up to 600 articulated components, assembled with extreme precision, and hand-polished, achieving fluidity when worn. The jewel even vibrates – literally – with a sound that has been refined and optimized during development. Yes, Clash truly has its own tone. /public-objects/30a4a86b-dcea-48d4-881d-946b50de9428-b1e577e0-c521-4b51-b70f-e9e0cdb17a07-22.webp Image sélectionnée Next, the color, thanks to the red- or green-tinted agate, the pink chalcedony, and the onyx. The hard stone beads are meticulously interspersed between the rose gold studs, each one pierced and screwed by a Parisian nail. In the XL version, the onyx studs become more pronounced. The yellow gold necklace becomes completely flexible, the three-finger ring asserts its presence, the earrings play the card of multi-wear, either at the front or the back of the lobe. Cartier reminds us that they knew how to make versatile jewelry, long before the word "versatile" became trendy. What makes Clash particularly interesting is its heritage. The studs, the square nails, the accumulated balls already existed within the house in the 1920s-1930s. The collection thus reinterprets a historical vocabulary inspired by the industrial world, and projects it into mixed and contemporary jewelry. Clash lives up to its name as it does not seek to please everyone, and that's precisely why it works.
