Cartier Skeleton Iced Out Black Stones – VVS Edition

Experience horological architecture at its absolute peak. This modified Cartier Skeleton Iced Out Black Stonestimepiece features a brilliant 18K white gold color finish, completely flooded in hand-paved black VVS1 clarity ice while preserving the iconic, exposed skeletonized manufacture movement. Blending industrial geometry, exposed bridges shaped like Roman numerals, and an aggressive dark sheen, this bespoke timepiece delivers an elite, high-contrast aesthetic with unrivaled wrist authority.

Stone Variations

• VVS1 Black Lab-Grown Diamonds: Sourced for the discerning purist. Chemically, physically, and visually identical to natural black diamonds, these lab stones release a deep, obsidian-like lustre alongside a maxed-out 10/10 rating on the Mohs hardness scale.

• VVS1 Black Moissanite: Engineered for extraordinary optical density and dynamic dark brilliance. Featuring high-grade clarity, it produces a sharp, moody shine and is 100% guaranteed to pass standard diamond thermal pen testers.

The Integrity Standard

We completely reject mass-market commercial glue-pasting or fragile base alloys. Every single Cartier Skeleton Iced Out Black Stones piece features custom, hand-carved tracks and surgical-grade prong micro-settings to ensure your stones remain locked for life around the delicate open-worked movement under daily wear.
