The same model was worn by actress Amy Adams when she walked the red carpet at the 2011 Palm Springs International Film Festival.
The orchid is described by Cartier as one of their most cherished floral creations and a source of continual inspiration. They first used the motif in 1925 and since then have re-imagined it into some truly extraordinary fine jewels. In 2005 the Maison launched the 'Caresse d'orchidées par Cartier' collection of which these sublime earrings were a part. At the time, Cartier's CEO described the orchid as 'the most phenomenal flower that exists, it has a strong personality. There are as many as 5,000 varieties, and many symbols are linked to the orchid'. Frequently associated with notions of romance, delicacy, beauty and fertility the exquisite nature of this once rare and exotic flower has been expertly captured by Cartier master craftsmen in these stunning earrings.
