Insects have flitted in and out of designers’ fancies in seasons past, but Cartier has now immortalized them in white and yellow gold with their new Jewelled Insects Collection.

All manner of insects take centre stage in the new whimsical collection; the delicate exoskeleton of a dragonfly for example, is formed with white gold, and filled in with diamonds and blue chalcedony.

Diamonds adorn most of the other charms, rings and earrings in the collection, which also features bees, beetles, ladybirds, set  with precious stones like sapphires, tsavorite, moonstone, opals, and pearls. The end result is an exquisitely youthful and colorful collection.
