Cartier La Donna

The Cartier La Donna was modeled after the Cartier necklace commissioned for Maria Felix. The Mexican actress had Cartier create the masterpiece after she visited the Paris boutique in 1975. The actress requested that her baby crocodile be the model for the unique luxury jewelry which resulted in the singular magnum opus handcrafted by Cartier, and a very personal tribute to such a wonderful actress. The jewelry she requested was meant to be a talisman, a sacred creature in Egypt, a symbol of death-and-rebirth. Cartier took the challenge and created the magnificent necklace that gave the breath of life to the provocative Cartier La Donna.

The Cartier La Donna was masterfully crafted with exotic form, inspired by the sensual nature of the actress and then modeled with the little crocodile in mind, using the wild reptilian influence. The flow of the interlocking bracelet links are so supple and reflect such a design of elegance, total comfort on the wrist and such a showcase of perfection. The trapeze shaped case provides a perfect balance of the exquisite Roman numeral dial, and the Cartier blued steel sword hands, completed with the silver sun-pattern embellishment. There are several styles within the collection, as well as two sizes each with their own distinction placed on the watch and the band. You can choose between stainless steel, yellow gold, rose gold, white gold and of course a choice of diamonds.

The classic Swiss workmanship, the Cartier detail and precision, a combination of beauty and technical brilliance. The Cartier La Donna is just striking, designed with such extravagant craftsmanship and of course the renowned reputation synonymous with the name Cartier. The Cartier’s master jewelers have provided the Cartier La Donna collection with something for every preference.
