From time immemorial flora and fauna has served as a wellspring of inspiration and creativity for artists and jewellers. Their depictions of animals and plants underline the strength of their symbolic charge. This season step into the vibrant tapestry of savanna, where you will discover a breathtaking array of bejewelled wonders inspired by nature, from Cartier’s majestic elephants, prowling panthers to Lalaounis’ regal lions and Dior’s brightly enamelled flower.
