“You will never confuse Cartier jewelry with any others,” probably that was what Jeanne Toussin, jewelry designer and part-time designer of the most legendary Louis Cartier thought, creating the famous image of a wild cat made of precious stones and metals at the beginning of the 20th century. Since then, the panther has become a faithful keeper of this jewelry brand.
And no matter how she changes her appearance, her habits of passion cannot be confused with anything! Artist Christopher Ponco tried his best: he not only created the illusion of a wild garden around Cartier jewelry creations, but also populated it with sounds and aromas that fascinated and excited the mind. And they made a lasting impression, completely satisfying the audience’s inner need for aesthetic beauty. Here, many visitors remembered that precious stones are gifts of nature’s pantries, which simply comprehended perfection and took their rightful place in our world.

Here is an owl made of yellow crystal, a rhinoceros made of dull gray platinum and a giraffe encrusted with diamonds and onyx ... All of them are an illustration of the exploit of the artist-jeweler and his eager curiosity to the jungle world hidden from human eyes.
"Cartier has always been obsessed with wildlife, and today we have given a new breath of our passion to recreate the nature of our dreams framed by luxurious jewelry with a truly wild character," said Bernard Fornas, president of Cartier International.
