Cartier Unveils Five New Creatures In Its “Into The Wild” High Jewellery Collection
Tiger, Parrot, Carp, Crocodile and Rhinoceros Join The Maison’s Iconic Animal Universe
Cartier has expanded its legendary animal universe with Into The Wild, its latest high jewellery collection, introducing five new creatures: the tiger, parrot, carp, crocodile and rhinoceros. The collection was unveiled in Istanbul as the Maison continues to explore its longstanding fascination with the natural world.



At the heart of the collection are five sculptural animal-head rings, each capturing the creatures’ distinctive character through precious gemstones, bold colour combinations and exceptional craftsmanship. Cartier’s artisans use techniques including carving and specialised gem-setting to recreate textures such as fur, scales and skin.


The tiger is interpreted through sapphires, aquamarine and dumortierite quartz, while the parrot, carp, crocodile and rhinoceros each receive distinctive gemstone treatments. The crocodile and tiger also appear in articulated bracelets and necklaces, with cleverly concealed clasps integrated into their mouths.
While the new creations broaden Cartier’s menagerie, the Panthère remains central to the collection, appearing in a diamond bracelet and a Panthère jewellery watch. Cartier’s fascination with fauna dates back to the early 20th century, with the panther taking its iconic three-dimensional form in 1948.
With Into The Wild, Cartier continues to transform nature into sculptural high jewellery, demonstrating how animal forms can become powerful expressions of creativity, craftsmanship and individuality.
