CHANEL
Chanel’s Reach for the Stars is inspired by the fleeting beauty of dusk and the freedom Gabrielle Chanel pursued to conquer her destiny and realise her vision of glamour in Hollywood.
A strong cinematic thread runs throughout the collection, which explores themes of movement, light, and transformation, anchored by three house codes: the comet, lion, and the newly introduced wing. Diamonds are cut to mimic the trails of shooting stars, wings unfurl across the collarbone in openwork settings, and the lion—her zodiac sign—appears in sculptural forms across medallions and statement necklaces.
In addition, many of the pieces are transformable. As an example, the Strong as a Lion necklace features a chain that can be shortened, allowing it to transition from a long necklace to a shorter one.
Although inspired by its founder’s vision of elegance and independence, Reach for the Stars is less about nostalgia and more about technical innovation—demonstrating craftsmanship that feels both precise and light in execution.

VAN CLEEF & ARPELS
The house steers its journey through Treasure Island with a second chapter that puts nature at the forefront. Among the highlights is the Jungle Flower ring, a Between the Finger creation that captures the lushness of tropical undergrowth. In rose and white gold, a cushion-cut pink sapphire blooms alongside pave-set emeralds and diamonds. Exuberant and refined at the same time, the composition recalls the contrasts of nature rendered with a jeweller’s precision.
Equally striking is the Mysterieux clip, a palm-like leaf realised in white and yellow gold. It showcases Van Cleef & Arpel’s signature Vitrail Mystery Set technique, an intricate process in which gemstones are shaped into near-microscopic tiles and set into custom gold frameworks. The result is a a luminous surface that plays with colour and light, like stained glass, in the form of emeralds, coloured sapphires, and diamonds.

BOUCHERON
Boucheron continues to reflect on nature with Impermanence, the latest chapter in its Carte Blanche series. Inspired by the Japanese art of ikebana and the philosophy of wabi-sabi, the collection captures fragile beauty at its most fleeting.
Composition No.4 exemplifies this idea. Cyclamens and a stalk of oat appear caught mid-motion, as if lifted by a passing breeze. The white gold petals are paved with nearly 700 rose-cut diamonds, hand-selected and set with such finesse that the metal base all but vanishes. Their edges are trimmed with glossy black lacquer, intensifying contrast and depth.
A diamond-paved vase houses the composition, which is balanced on a black DLC-coated titanium base. Even with all this, it’s not just ornamental—every element transforms. The cyclamens pivot into a bracelet or brooch. The oat stalk becomes a hair ornament. Even the articulated caterpillar and butterfly, made from diamonds, spinel, and brush-like fibres, can be detached for wearing separately.
Overall, Composition No.4 took over 4,200 hours to complete. As with the rest of Impermanence, it invites reflection on time, light, and loss, while highlighting Boucheron’s technical and creative range at its highest level.

TIFFANY & CO.
Blue Book 2025: Sea of Wonder continues the American jeweller’s tribute to ocean life with a chapter centred on the seahorse, a motif reinterpreted through colour, movement, and contrast. Chief Artistic Officer Nathalie Verdeille references Jean Schlumberger’s 1968 brooches as a conceptual starting point but takes a more abstract approach.
At the heart of this chapter is a statement necklace in platinum and yellow gold, featuring over 11cts of unenhanced purple sapphires paired with blue sapphires, moonstones, and diamonds. The gemstones echo the fluidity and glint of marine life, with moonstones lending an ethereal glow to the vibrant sapphires.
What sets the necklace apart—beyond the 1,600 hours of craftsmanship—is its versatility. It can be worn in three ways: with the full complement of sapphires and moonstones, as a simplified sapphire strand, or as a standalone moonstone necklace. The modular design reflects the collection’s broader theme of the sea as a source of mystery and transformation.

CHOPARD
Every Cannes Film Festival, Chopard unveils its Red Carpet Collection, which this year presents an intimate look at Caroline Scheufele’s creative vision.
Caroline’s Universe comprises 78 high jewellery pieces, each reflecting her fascination with animals, flowers, celestial forms, couture, and gemstones. Rather than specific themes, she focuses on perspective: how she interprets memories, perceives beauty, and expresses emotions through jewellery.
Highlights include sculptural rings, expressive earrings, and intricate necklaces, including this breathtaking choker. Featuring 599.5cts of tanzanite beads and more than 20cts of brilliant-cut diamonds in a floral motif encircled by ethical white gold, it emulates Scheufele’s love of nature.

CARTIER
Harmony is more than a philosophy at Cartier; it is a discipline. Every line, volume, and hue is carefully calibrated, revealing a design language built on precision. Whether embracing simplicity or venturing into boldness, its creations are characterised by a balance between symmetry and asymmetry, colour and clarity, fullness and space.
As part of its new En Equilibre high jewellery collection, the maison introduces a ring capsule collection that fully embodies this refined creative approach. Sculptural yet restrained, these rings express Cartier’s unique vision with sharp geometry, clean lines, and sophisticated colour play.
Aside from being decorative flourishes, they are also architectural statements that are both engineered and emotional—distinguished not by embellishment but by their emphasis on balance.

LOUIS VUITTON
Louis Vuitton’s Virtuosity collection comprises 110 one-of-a-kind pieces presented across 12 themed chapters, divided into two parts—The World of Mastery and The World of Creativity. Together, they trace the evolution of its high jewellery mastery.
The first half, The World of Mastery, emphasises precision and expertise using traditional jewellery techniques and architectural discipline, with Damier patterns and trunk-inspired motifs, shield shapes and monogram codes recurring in geometric constructions.
In the second half, the World of Creativity, symmetry gives way to movement, colour, and abstraction. Florescence, for instance, reinterprets Louis Vuitton’s signature flower motif from the LV Monogram Star diamond collection using rubellite tourmalines, grey pearls, and hard stones in layered compositions. One of the highlights is the five-way necklace, which took over 2,500 hours to complete.
While each chapter has its own narrative, Virtuosity reflects the maison’s ongoing effort to move beyond heritage references and towards more expressive designs.

FRED
Sunlight is more than a motif at Fred—it’s a way of life. In its new collection, the house captures two illuminating moments: the founding of its Parisian atelier in 1936 and the radiance of a 100-ct yellow diamond known as the Soleil d’Or.
Geometry is the focus of 1936 that pays homage to Fred Samuel’s early fascination with coloured stones and clean lines. Art Deco arches appear in structured yet fluid forms across 10 pieces adorned with Muzo emeralds, Sri Lankan sapphires, Mozambique rubies and Akoya pearls. Soleil d’Or Sunrise, leans into a glow.
Nine pieces trace the sun’s path using yellow and white diamonds arranged in draped, light-catching silhouettes. Many are transformable—a reminder that movement and wearability remain central to the house’s ethos.

BVLGARI
Championing maximalism with a massive collection of 250 creations, including jewellery, watches, fragrances, eyewear, and bags, all dialled up to extreme volume, Bvlgari’s Polychroma is high jewellery in its loudest and most luxurious form.
Taking inspiration from Roman architecture, Mughal design, and the maison’s archival codes, it is divided into 12 themes. Among these, some pieces display breathtakingly opulent centre stones, such as those in the Gallery of Wonders, which showcases Bvlgari’s most ambitious masterpieces to date.
In the Cosmic Vault necklace, for example, a 123.35-ct sugarloaf sapphire anchors the bib-style design, while the Celestial Mosaic features a 131.21-ct spinel, the largest ever used by the Roman jeweller. With transformable clasps and sculptural silhouettes, every piece is crafted both for impact and versatility.

DIOR
Diorexquis, Victoire de Castellane’s latest triumph, embodies three of Christian Dior’s enduring fascinations: enchanted landscapes, delicate florals, and the spendour of gala evenings.
While not explicitly seasonal, the collection moves with a natural rhythm that mirrors the passage of time. Winter is captured in frosted textures, mirrored surfaces, and diamonds set in white gold. Spring brings floral softness with pastel tones and silhouettes that nod to Dior’s couture heritage. Summer introduces an intensified mood: yellow sapphires, glossy lacquer, and polished gold add warmth and radiance.
Plique-a-jour, doublets of opal, and carvings of hard stones create depth and dimension in each piece. The motifs are also suggestive rather than literal, proposing movement and textures rather than replicating flowers or landscapes.
