Clash de Cartier

Spikes, beads and square studs set in a moving mesh, a house of polish playing with a punk vocabulary.

Tiffany Lock

A bangle drawn as the elongated shackle of a padlock, whose clasp swivels and clicks shut like the lock it imitates.

Movement lives in different places on these two. On Clash de Cartier, presented in Paris in 2019, it is everywhere: spikes, beads and square studs set in a mesh that shifts against the skin. On Tiffany Lock, introduced in 2022, it is concentrated in a single point, a clasp that swivels and clicks shut like the padlock it copies. Clash reworks a punk wardrobe. Lock reworks a love token from the house archive, a gold padlock brooch of 1883.
