Cartier: The Home of Exquisite Gifts

For Your Eyes Only

Glasses have never been so glamorous thanks to Panthère Wild de Cartier Collection, a new eyewearline secured by the jaws of the majestic wildcat. A sculpted metal panther head, in platinum or champagne gold finish with piercing green lacquered eyes, bites black, burgundy or tortoiseshell colour frames, symbolising assertive power and extraordinary grace - the woman who wears these is one to watch.

Cartier’s famed Trinity ring - first launched in 1924 - updates a stellar collection of eyewear, which makes an understated gift for a myriad of occasions. Trinity de Cartier Collection sunglasses in bold lacquered red acetate or snazzy tortoiseshell effect are resort holiday standouts. Set neatly into the temples is the allure of the three interlinking Trinity bands, in sensual pink, white and yellow gold finish. The collection also encompasses optical frames in a variety of fetching shapes and colours.

Classic style aficionados, meanwhile, would most appreciate receiving glasses from the exceptional solid gold 2013 Eyewear Collection. Crafted in a limited edition to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Cartier eyewear are frames featuring red leather and a smooth champagne golden finish.

Manly Trappings

At Cartier, where timeless style melds with precise, intricate craftsmanship, you will find a gift that intrigues the male mind. Dress the masculine wrist with cufflinks that attest to the Maison’s creativity and expertise in fine jewellery, as seen in the selection of beautiful materials and use of artistic techniques including guilloché, paving, engraving and sculpture. Beloved motifs peep from beneath the jacket sleeve – the double C logo in 18-carat white gold, each cufflink set with diamonds; 18-carat white gold balls paved with diamonds, black ceramic points and onyx, and a panther pair sculpted from 18-carat yellow gold with black lacquer.

Panther spots illuminate a Cartier lighter adorned with black lacquer and an attractive golden finish: one for the man still on the prowl. Making a more unusual statement is a square lighter, also in a luscious golden tone, but this time etched with an elegant godrons decor.

These manly trappings, like all the Maison’s creations, stand the test of time, sending strong messages of individuality and personality, class and value. Gifts from the Cartier treasure trove can be worn or used beyond the whims of fashion or season; they are enduring accoutrements of fine living.
