Cartier Panthère Ring

The Cartier Panthère ring is worked in 18k gold with tsavorite and onyx. The panther curls around the finger with the head modelled at the crown, tsavorite garnets set as the eyes and onyx forming the spotted markings, following the conventions Jeanne Toussaint fixed for the house emblem in the 1930s. The openwork body keeps the ring light despite its scale.

Panthère pieces are modelled and set by hand, and the house produces them in limited quantity each year. Ring sizing is fixed at manufacture, which narrows availability sharply for any specific buyer. Placed privately, with condition and documentation confirmed before anything is agreed.

The openwork construction that keeps this ring light on the hand also distinguishes it from Cartier's heavier, fully modelled Panthère pieces, and it tends to be chosen by clients who want the emblem's presence without the weight or scale of the larger ring and bracelet versions in the same line. Fixed sizing means Clutch confirms fit against the specific piece before any sale. Clutch inspects the openwork sections under close light before listing, checking specifically for the kind of hairline stress that is easy to miss at a glance.

The openwork body that keeps this ring light despite its scale is also one of the more delicate parts of the piece to inspect, since Clutch checks the structural integrity of the open sections alongside the tsavorite and onyx setting before confirming any sale.
