A number of you have actually sent in questions asking for some fine gift ideas beyond SGD1000, be it for yourself or for your loved ones, because, well, Christmas is coming. And because no one ever says ‘no’ to anything that comes in that classic red box, here’s a refresher on the most iconic of gifts Cartier has to offer now.

Starting with the Ecrou de Cartier Ring (SGD3050) in 18K yellow gold, from one of the Parisian luxury brand’s latest jewellery range that’s all about nuts (this one comes with 5) covering the circular bolt-like ring. Only one screw is fixed, while the others are completely moveable, which means you can fiddle around with the others whenever you want.

Next, something that’s also hardware-related would be the Juste Un Clou Bracelet (SGD9350) in 18K pink gold that needs no introduction. Speaking of iconic, the Love Bracelet (SGD5600) is another familiar favourite, rendered in an SM size that’s slightly thinner and perfect for stacking with other bracelets.

Next up, something fierce and fabulous from the Panthère de Cartier range, these earrings (SGD10,400) in 18K yellow gold are absolute head-turners. And if you’re looking for a classic watch to complete the look, how about the Medium Panthère de Cartier Watch (SGD11,200)? Measuring 37 mm by 27 mm, this watch comes in the perfect combination of 18k yellow gold and steel that is as much a timepiece as it is a piece of fine jewellery.

Moving on to a number of classic pieces for the men, starting with the Santos de Cartier Cufflinks (SGD620) in a palladium-finish sterling silver that features the collection’s iconic 8 screw motif. The go-to timepiece for the men would have to be the Santos de Cartier Watch (SGD9450), especially the one in Large that shows the date in place of the ‘VI’ position. Revamped earlier this year with the SmartLink resizing system and QuickSwitch interchangeability system, this is one piece that allows you to swap between watch straps with ease. Complete your look with the Santos de Cartier Necklace (SGD11,000) in 18K white gold, one that features a modest interlocking chain-link design that’s as classic as it gets.

Rounding up the selection would be the Love Ring (SGD2420) and Ecrou de Cartier Bracelet (SGD9750), both of which come in 18K white gold. All classics, all Cartier, and perfect for Christmas.
