Cartier High Jewelry: Panthère & Unique Creations

SJX offers a rare glimpse into the world of ultra-luxury at Cartier, documenting the opulent selections made by a 'plutocrat.' This post showcases high jewelry pieces, including diamond and sapphire Panthère creations and a unique high jewelry watch, providing a window into the extraordinary craftsmanship and astronomical price points of Cartier's most exclusive offerings.

Most people buy houses. Eventually these become homes. 

Other people who are more fortunate have palaces that can be seen from space. Such moneyed folk then buy jewellery and watches that cost as much as the houses of regular people.

One such plutocrat happened to mosey into Cartier today and he charitably allowed me to capture some of the items he was eyeing.

You know the old saying about not being able to afford it if you have to ask? Well I did. And the saying is absolutely true.

Below: Panthere ring and bracelet set with diamonds and sapphires 

Some el cheapo smallish ring 

Piece unique high jewellery watch with diamonds and sapphires; movement is quartz but available with mechanical JLC 101 micro-calibre as a special order 

This is a bracelet but it could sit on a really small head as a uber-tiara 

And this was the object intended for those with truly immodest means. The tax refund for this ring (about 6%) would amount to nearly $500,000.
