Who: Cartier
What: Grain de Café collection
Where: Online at cartier.com and in Cartier boutiques worldwide
Why: Cartier’s rich history is synonymous with craftsmanship, glamour, and Hollywood. For those unfamiliar, the house’s original Grain de Café collection—featuring whimsical, bean-shaped pendants—debuted almost a century ago under creative director Jeanne Toussaint, and became well-known when Grace Kelly wore a set for her wedding that turned her into a princess. Now, with modern techniques and a freshness that only time can bring, the latest iteration riffs on the lightness and movement of coffee beans, either strung on gold chain necklaces or blooming on woven rings, and seen most recently on house ambassador Elle Fanning at the Met.
