Cartier's new jewellery line, Nouvelle Vague, has the young and hip swooning from London to Bal Harbour. Gone are the heaviness and royal undertones traditionally associated with the luxury brand, and in its place is a collection comprising wispy-fine chains, twisted platinum and tiny golden balls foaming out of a golden ring.
Modern touches come in uncut diamonds in unusual colours like grey and cognac.
With prices starting at $8,800, the collection is bound to become one of Cartier's most successful. It's being unveiled in Hong Kong this Friday at the Garden Court in Pacific Place.
