In a bold move bridging fine jewelry and contemporary art, Cartier has announced a collaboration with acclaimed visual artist Emma Körner. Known for her abstract paintings that explore themes of light and movement, Körner has worked closely with Cartier’s design team to create a limited-edition jewelry line titled “Luminous Echoes.” This partnership marks Cartier’s latest effort to infuse modern artistic sensibilities into its timeless jewelry traditions.
The “Luminous Echoes” collection features 12 one-of-a-kind pieces, including rings, bracelets, and brooches, each reflecting Körner’s signature style. One standout piece is a sculptural ring that mimics the fluid brushstrokes of her paintings, achieved through a combination of titanium and rose gold, accented with sapphires and diamonds. Another notable creation is a bracelet that appears to change color when viewed from different angles, thanks to an innovative use of opals and enamel work.
Cartier’s decision to collaborate with Körner underscores its commitment to innovation and cross-disciplinary creativity. The artist herself expressed excitement about the project, stating that working with Cartier’s artisans allowed her to explore new dimensions of her art. “Translating my two-dimensional paintings into wearable sculptures was a thrilling challenge,” Körner remarked during the collection’s launch in London.
The “Luminous Echoes” pieces will be available exclusively at select Cartier boutiques and online, with prices ranging from $50,000 to over $500,000. This collaboration not only elevates Körner’s profile in the luxury world but also reinforces Cartier’s reputation as a brand that embraces contemporary artistry while staying true to its heritage.
