This intricate high jewelry necklace comes from Cartier’s 2024 Nature Sauvage collection. The designers reinterpret the image of a turtle through a blend of abstraction and realism, concealing the creature within a cascade of luminous, leaf-like motifs. At the center hangs a magnificent 71.90-carat cabochon-cut pink tourmaline pendant — a dazzling celebration of nature’s opulent beauty.
The most distinctive feature of the necklace lies in its central element — a cleverly “hidden” turtle brooch. The turtle’s shell is expressed through a composition of rhombus and polygonal shapes, symmetrically set with yellow diamonds, brown diamonds, and custom-cut pink tourmalines. The turtle’s limbs extend outward to form the leafy structure of the necklace, creating an elegant, flowing silhouette.
The pendant’s focal point is an exquisite drop-shaped cabochon pink tourmaline weighing 71.90 carats, whose luscious, rosy hue evokes the appearance of a ripe fruit.
This necklace is designed to be transformable — the central turtle motif can be detached and worn separately as a brooch, offering versatility for different occasions.
