Pile it all on whether it’s a single or double row band; plain, or adorned with diamonds or beads crafted from coloured gemstones. For the latter, choose from red or green-dyed agate, pink chalcedony or onyx – each bead is interspersed between rose gold studs; the contrast lending both visual heft and artful elegance.
TONE-ON-TONE

The Clash de Cartier styles with coloured gemstones extend across hoop earrings, pendants and rings. To create them, artisans pierce the beads – each carefully selected for precision of size and colour – then pin them down with a Clou de Paris nail to secure them in place. This complex process calls for the alternating of mechanical fastening and manual adjustments, and results in pieces with twice the number of parts as all-gold Clash de Cartier designs.
TWO OF A KIND

Yellow and pink gold make for a refreshingly modern pairing.
THE “SHADE MATCH”

THE EXTRA LENGTH

The pendant necklace, small bangle and double-row ring – previously available only in rose or yellow gold – now come in white gold. Also new? Multi-wear earrings featuring a short, fluid row of studs, beads and clous carres at the front, with a longer strand that can be worn behind the ear – if you feel like it. (This design is also available in rose gold)
