Drawing inspiration from Japanese fabrics decorated with the rising sun motif, the Obi necklace pays tribute to the culture of Japan, an inspiring country cherished by the Maison for more than a century. Eight cabochon-cut emeralds, including a 12.53-carat specimen from Zambia, provide the starting point in the creation process. The roundness of the cabochons contrasts with the motif’s geometry, which is punctuated by small caliber-cut rubies. Thanks to the very delicate custom-cut onyx inserts, the angles are emphasized, the volumes are accentuated, and the entire necklace gains depth.

Green, red, and black: a signature chromatic harmony for Cartier, which since the beginning of the 20th century has dared to create unprecedented—and immediately adopted— combinations. The pendant motif detaches and can be worn as a brooch.
