There is no beast quite as iconic as the Cartier Panthere for gemmaphiles. This season, a new Panthere de Cartier design showcases the maison’s mastery of black lacquer and boundless creativity.
The emblematic big cat’s spots are in white gold rather than the traditional onyx or sapphire, while the snow setting (“galuchat” in French) on the paved body adds elegance and texture. It’s a breathtaking fusion of heritage and innovation—and the perfect gift for a discerning jewellery connoisseur.
Van Cleef & Arpels, ever inspired by nature’s poetic transformations, enriches its jewellery garden with four Rose de Noel creations. The collection, introduced in 1970, celebrates the resilience of a winter flower this time.
Two pendants and two earring designs, both available in grey mother-of-pearl with white gold or turquoise with yellow gold, take centre stage this year. Flaunting the maison’s expertise in stones and craftsmanship, each design features six cabochon petals arranged to evoke a sense of motion, their subtle asymmetry adding a touch of lifelike vitality. What better way to fete winter’s enduring elegance?
Meanwhile, here’s a collaboration that strikes gold—or rather, pearls: Mikimoto x Chrome Hearts fuses iconic elegance with a rebellious, punk-inspired edge. Their partnership was formed in 2020 when Jesse Jo Stark, the creative mind behind Chrome Hearts, fell in love with the timeless yet provocatively modern appeal of pearls.
Like her father Richard Stark said, “If it’s pearls, it’s Mikimoto.” Through years of creative synergy, both brands have developed a collection that challenges tradition while celebrating their shared artistic vision. At its core are four high jewellery necklaces, in which Mikimoto’s mastery transforms pearl strands into sculptural masterpieces. Rounding out the collection are 11 fine jewellery items, each a bold testament to this unlikely union.
Lastly, Hermès’ newest high jewellery range, Les Formes de la Couleur, is an eclectic and vibrant journey through colour, volume, and texture. Breaking away from the house’s signature shapes, Creative Director Pierre Hardy’s creations embrace a new sense of freedom. With his artistic background in mind, he revisited colour theories and explored their interrelationships with form. The result: geometric shapes and colours that combine to create an utterly captivating new visual language.
