Cartier Yijing Dragon's Kiss Ring in Black Jade and Diamonds on White Gold

Cartier, the renowned jewelry house, revisits its Oriental and Chinese Art Deco inspirations from the 1920s.

This ring, named “Kiss of the Dragon” “Yijing,” perfectly embodies this inspiration:

Its name: the dragon, a mythical creature symbolizing wisdom, power, and good fortune, is particularly revered in China, while the Yijing, or I Ching, is an ancient Chinese text.

The materials used in the ring are equally representative: jade, highly prized in China, is featured here in the form of a large black cabochon, visually reminiscent of Chinese black lacquer.

The geometric, rectilinear lines, crafted in white gold pavé-set with diamonds, draw their inspiration from the aesthetics of ancient Chinese temple porticoes. The openwork design of this ring creates an undeniably graphic effect, also incorporating elements of Art Deco pieces.

This ring, crafted in 18k white gold (750/°°, eagle's head hallmark), dates from the 2000s. It is a striking and impactful piece, a reminder of Cartier's status as a leading brand during the Art Deco era and its enduring avant-garde spirit.

The smooth surface of the jade creates a mirror-like effect, reflecting its surroundings: therefore, the interplay of light, shadow, and other visible patterns are merely reflections.
