María Félix, a legendary Mexican actress known as La Doña, made a lasting impact on Cartier with her bold style and fascination for reptilian-themed jewelry. In 1968, she commissioned a life-size, fully articulated snake necklace that became an iconic piece in jewelry history. Her passion extended to a matching pair of snake earrings in 1971.
The most eccentric story came in 1975, when Félix brought a baby crocodile to Cartier’s boutique and requested custom jeweled versions of the animal, resulting in a stunning set of interlocking crocodile necklaces. Her enduring influence was honored in 2006 with the “La Doña” watch, inspired by her style and featuring a scalelike design.
