Cartier has unveiled a new necklace for its popular "Grain de Café" collection.

The collection draws inspiration from two elements emblematic of the Maison's style: the coffee bean motif, rendered in yellow gold, and Cartier's unique aesthetic that elevates the everyday into something extraordinary.

For this new creation, yellow gold is shaped into a flowing mesh. Its supple structure drapes beautifully against the body, its almost sensual delicacy and lightness enhancing its luxurious appeal.

At the heart of the design are the hand-woven mesh, extending from the Maison's iconic "Palmier" chain, and the coffee bean motifs arranged like a fringe. The sparkle, born from the interplay of transparency and brilliance, is a testament to exceptional craftsmanship, an homage to haute couture. Diamonds, transformed into delicate accents, punctuate the mesh, while the clasp is discreetly concealed at the back for a refined finish.

The choice of the coffee bean as a motif reflects a deep respect for nature and life, and an affection for all that exists in the world. Cartier's jewelry transcends mere adornment, perhaps serving as a connection between people and the world.

About the "Grain de Café" Necklace

Born in 1938 under the direction of Jeanne Toussaint, Cartier's Creative Director. "Grain de Café" means "coffee bean" in French. The collection's signature motif is its plump, rounded form, reminiscent of a coffee bean. It features a design with oval grains resembling coffee beans, primarily in yellow gold, characterized by its warm texture. These pieces are both simple and striking, suitable for a wide range of occasions, from daily wear to formal events.

Grace Kelly wore "Grain de Café" jewelry upon her marriage to Rainier III, embodying the sophisticated glamour of the 1950s French Riviera and linking Monaco, the Riviera, and Cartier.
