The French jewelry house gathered creatives for a rooftop reveal of the sharp new capsule collection set to an eclectic soundtrack
Words by ELIZABETH VARNELL
Spiked conical onyx rings inlaid with diamonds and paired with newly penned piano riffs welcomed guests to a rooftop dinner held in Los Angeles by Cartier to launch its new Clash Unlimited collection. Finneas, the multihyphenate singer-songwriter and producer whose sister and frequent collaborator is Billie Eilish, performed live after guests arrived via vintage cars to view the French jewelry house’s immersive installation of the off-kilter capsule in West Hollywood.

Before Finneas’ three-song set, a tour through the boldly inventive rings, bracelets and earrings in white gold, onyx, diamonds and amethysts, combining clean geometric shapes with eye-catching voluminous proportions, enveloped guests in soundscapes he produced. Snippets of beats and soaring notes mixed as everyone got a glimpse at tennis bracelets with upside-down diamonds and massive picot rings plus two new watch styles inside a multiroom space designed by the collaborative design practice Snarkitecture.

Lily Collins, Ella Balinska, Ashe, Dan Levy, Benjamin Bronfman, Aurora James, Kathy Hilton and Nicky Hilton Rothschild sat for Michelin-starred chef Curtis Stone’s multi-course sustainable menu before chocolate picot domes arrived — requiring a silver hammer to smash them open. The inventive desserts by pastry chef Chris Ford of Butter Love & Hard Work contained precisely made silver mini macarons.
