(NEW YORK) Expect some serious bling in the new espionage thriller from Focus Features, Lust, Caution. Cartier participated in director Ang Lee's latest venture, which is set in World War II-era Shanghai. A one-of-a-kind 6.1 carat Cartier ring makes its debut in the film on lead actress Tang Wei. The white and pink diamond stunner blends in effortlessly with the opulent scenery.

"Cartier's gems have sparkled brightly on legendary stars--from the silent film era to today's blockbuster hits," said Frédéric de Narp, president and CEO of Cartier North America. "Cartier jewels and signature timepieces will continue to have a 'starring role' in Hollywood, both on and off the silver screen."

To further their involvement with the film, Cartier has created the plum colored Lust, Caution LoveCharity bracelet with Lee to benefit the Film Foundation. $100 from the sale of each $475 silk cord bracelet with 18K gold miniature Love ring will be donated to the foundation, which was established by Martin Scorsese to promote the need for film preservation. Additionally, Cartier will sponsor the film's premier on October 3 at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
