An exquisite volume documenting Cartier's most recent collection,
which celebrates color in the realm of high jewelry.
Consecrating Cartier's new collection of High Jewelry and precious
objects, Coloratura: High Jewelry and Precious Objects by
Cartier--with one hundred original and innovative pieces--is a
celebration of an integral aspect of the iconic brand: color. Brimming
both with striking contrasts and more delicate tones, the jeweler's
palette positions itself in the midst of an intimate conversation
between the art world and reality in all of its cultural diversity,
allowing for the jeweler to expand his or her creative horizons
unhindered. Through the exploration of continents and seasons, the
juxtaposition of tradition with modernity, and the play on connotations
associated both with stones and other more noble materials, Cartier
continues to follow in the footsteps paved by its founding brothers, and
to create breath-taking and unique pieces.
All the world revels in color; and since High Jewelry and the notion of
celebration are inextricably linked, Cartier's collection, with its
astonishing rainbow-like palette, as immortalized in this volume,
provides us with a new ode to joy, an ode to life in all its glory.
