each edition.

A cultural
event of international renown, this Parisian showcase of decorative arts from
around the world unfurls splendidly over seventeen days under the dome of the
Grand Palais.
With its
250 m2 stand – the largest of all exhibitors at the 2012 edition – Cartier
unveils the full extent of its jewelled supremacy at the Biennale. Entrusted to
the talent of French designer Tristan Auer, known for his refined approach and
bespoke decorative work, this spectacular setting is a fitting reflection of
the scope, creative power and legitimacy of the king of jewellers. This year,
Cartier will present 148 pieces of high jewellery and 12 precious objects plus
a selection of pieces from the Cartier Tradition collection.
Crafted in
the great jewellery tradition of the Maison, each of these pieces required up
to two years of work, calling on Cartier’s full range of expertise, including
the artistic crafts of engraving and stone carving.
Bracelet Brooch Tiger
An
unprecedented demonstration of inventive high jewellery displaying great
technical prowess, a selection which travels the world in its evocation of
changing landscapes, ranging from lush to sun-drenched, from urban cityscapes
to the cool beauty of the North.

Bracelet Tiger
A real
change of scenery, therefore, and an opportunity for Cartier to push back the
frontiers of style through its mastery of a three-dimensional menagerie in
which a panther playfully graces a ring or through its expression of an Arctic
spring evoked by a briolette-cut aquamarine frosted with icy diamonds.
