Cartier's fully articulated and diamond-backed Snake necklace, commissioned by Mexican actress María Félix in 1968, is emblematic of the jeweller's incredible craftsmanship and technical ingenuity.
In homage, heritage embroidery house Hand & Lock have produced an exclusive brooch with silvery scales and bold stripes of colour meticulously hand-stitched in bullion and passing thread. Fabric-backed for durability, it's an exquisite, expressive feature piece with timeless style.
Available for a limited time, accompanying the V&A Cartier exhibition.
