Weekly Obsession: Solitaire Cartier Destinée

We're going to spare you all the overdone cliches of "diamond's is a girl's best friend" and admire Cartier's very latest engagement ring Solitaire Cartier Destinée in the Set for You by Cartier collection for what it is: a stunning piece of jewellery that's testimonial to the brand's dedication in creating a ring worthy of the occasion, and impeccable skills of the craftsmen handling the precious jewel. 

Inspired by the legendary Solitaire 1895, the Cartier Destinée sees a central diamond mounted on a four-claw setting, surrounded by a cluster of smaller diamonds set in hand-polished cavities.

The centre of attention, of course, is the main stone, which can be customised in the Maison's workshops according to its clarity, colour and cut, and is available in carats from 0.40 to 2.99. 

The final result is a dazzling one -- the unique setting of the stone enables it to stand out, with the accompanying diamonds mirroring its brilliance for a extra mesmerizing effect. 

But don't take our word for it. Click here to watch the fourth in Cartier's true love film series, featuring the work of Italian director Luca Guadagnino and American screenwriter Drake Doremus, and starring English actor Oliver Jackson Cohen and Taiwanese actress Michelle Chen. The marriage proposal against the romantic backdrop of Paris might just convince you to make that life-changing plunge. 

The Cartier Destinee will be available in boutique for viewing and purchase from end February onwards, and the customization service is available at all Cartier boutiques.
