The Return Of Animal Print
Vogue named 2024 the return of leopard print. Since then, leopard print along with other maximalist animal prints have been featured on runways worldwide from New York to Paris. Stylists and editors have long considered animal print to be neutral, however, the loud print is not always the easiest to incorporate into your wardrobe each season. To many seasoned shoppers, buying a full leopard print trench coat or dress may seem impractical and intimidating. Instead of buying an animal print coat you may only wear a few times, Sotheby’s jewelry specialists suggest opting for an animal inspired jewelry piece this fall season. Cartier is a top trending brand no matter what season it is. Whether you are looking for a new ring, bracelet, necklace, or earring Cartier has plenty of amazing options for the Fall season. Cartier is one of the most searched and trending brands for 2024. If you are excited about the animal print trend the Cartier Pantheré collection is a great way to embrace the style of the fall season through your jewelry choices.
Brief History of the Cartier Pantheré
The Panthère de Cartier jewelry motif was first produced in 1914, since then the iconic symbol has become synonymous with the luxury brand. Cartier's earliest connection to the panther was an advertisement in 1913 called Dame à la Panthère featuring an elegant model and a sleek black cat. According to some, Louis Cartier chose the panther in tribute to Jeanne Toussaint, who he called his ‘Petite Pantheré (she also famously wore a full-length coat made of panther fur). The first Cartier Pantheré jewel was crafted for the Duchess of Windsor, Wallace Simpson in 1948. The Cartier Pantheré brooch was gold and enamel set with a cabochon emerald. The success of the first Cartier Pantheré ring set off a chain reaction with the creation of Cartier Pantheré bracelets, drop earrings and pendants which became hugely desirable among European and American elite. Modern and vintage Cartier Pantheré jewelry remains popular with collectors today. Cartier has masterfully withstood the test of time and continues to be on top when it comes to the luxury jewelry market. Their animal art deco inspired jewelry creations are a perfect way to embrace this season's biggest trend.
