Panthère de Cartier panther-motif bracelet

Emeralds and the panther—Cartier’s emblematic animal motif—first appeared in 1914. Louis Cartier was the first to incorporate the panther into his designs, while Jeanne Toussaint, his close collaborator, also held the creature in high regard in her own creations. Since then, the panther has embodied a rich array of characteristics across Cartier’s collections, ranging from the bold and playful to the gentle.
