The Ryu Necklace

The Ryu Necklace

Dragon scales inspire Cartier with their structure, material and pattern. For this necklace, 80 yellow diamonds weighing approximately 79 carats constitute the scales of this fantastic reptile that marks the link between the Earth and the sky. Thanks to octahedral gems, whose rare cut is seldom used in jewelry, the faceting work multiplies and sets the sparkle between the stones ablaze. These intense, solar diamonds are placed in the heart of hexagonal patterns of white gold paved with diamonds, which together form a geometric mesh. They illustrate Cartier’s passion for stones of character with singular shapes.
