Cartier expands Clash de Cartier with flexible yellow-gold and stone-set designs

Cartier has made Clash de Cartier less like armor and more like jewelry meant to be worn all day. The latest update leans into flexibility, with a yellow-gold, double-row necklace priced at $27,800 and a matching bracelet at $13,200 that sit closer to the body than the line’s earlier, more rigid forms.

That shift matters because Clash was built on tension from the start. Launched in 2019, the collection was introduced as a study in opposites, soft against structured, feminine against sharp. The campaign fronted by British actress Kaya Scodelario and a Paris launch event in April 2019 framed the line as deliberately contradictory. This new chapter keeps that identity, but makes it easier to live with: the silhouette still reads bold, yet the articulated construction allows it to bend, settle and move instead of sitting stiffly on the neck or wrist.

Cartier says Clash de Cartier “shakes up the heritage of the Maison” and extends its repertoire with colored stones, onyx, XL volumes and modular wearing options. The house also describes the structure as an ingenious assembly of articulated elements, polished by hand, with parts that stay connected while remaining free to move. In practical terms, that means less fixed geometry and more give, which should improve comfort on larger pieces and make the line easier to style with open collars, tailored knits and stacked gold chains.

The stone-set direction pushes the collection further from its original all-metal punch. Cartier now lists new Clash pieces in agate, pink chalcedony and onyx, including earrings and rings anchored in yellow or rose gold. The palette has widened as well: yellow-gold versions now sit alongside rose-gold and white-gold rings, a notable broadening for a line that once felt more monochrome and confrontational.

The ring sizing tells the story of the audience most likely to wear it. Cartier lists ring models from 45 mm, or US 3¼, to 64 mm, or US 10¾, with yellow-gold small, medium and double-row versions priced at $2,850, $3,900 and $4,800. These are not delicate stacking bands; they suit readers who want one large gold statement to carry an outfit, especially if they favor sculptural pieces that can handle the weight of a sleeve, a cuff or a watch beside them.
