We spill the beans on Cartier&rsquo;s latest coffee bean-inspired Grain de Caf&eacute; pieces

We like our jewellery just as we like our coffee: strong and sweet. Lucky for us, Cartier&rsquo;s Grain de Caf&eacute; collection, which in fact bases its recurring motif on the humble coffee bean, has made a welcome return. As improbable as it might seem for a small, dark seed of the Coffea plant to excite the imagination of a storied jewellery Maison, this happened in 1938 when Cartier&rsquo;s Jeanne Toussaint used a motif inspired by the coffee bean. And the &rsquo;50s and &rsquo;60s was when the early Grain de Caf&eacute; pieces enjoyed immense popularity &mdash; the collection&rsquo;s fans included Princess Grace of Monaco.

While the collection later retreated from the brand&rsquo;s oeuvre, it has made its return with six glorious pieces. In rose gold are a ring and necklace set with obsidian and diamonds, and in yellow and white gold are two rings, a bracelet and a necklace set with diamonds. Each piece features sculpted and striated oblong shapes, which are clustered and mounted on &ldquo;palm tree&rdquo; chains. And as you&rsquo;d expect from Cartier&rsquo;s intricate, flora-inspired pieces, the gold beans rattle gently when worn.

&ldquo;Grain de Caf&eacute; introduces a new preciousness by elevating a single material, gold, and playing with light, finishes and volume to create an acoustic collection brimming with soul,&rdquo; says Cartier&rsquo;s Jewellery and Watchmaking Creative Director, Marie-Laure C&eacute;r&egrave;de.
