These modern jewels make a statement with strong, precise lines and geometric angles

VAN CLEEF & ARPELS

The maison’s new high jewellery collection – Sous les étoiles, Heavenly Dreams – reimagines the cosmos in dramatic fashion as seen here in this Nuée d’émeraudes necklace. It depicts the comet 41P, known for its blue-green glow, in precious gem and diamond baguettes set in graphic lines. Along the edge are 96 rare Afghan emeralds, which total 62.3 carats, and flaunt an elongated shape and a unique hue tinged with a delicate hint of yellow.

CHANEL

Showcased in Chanel’s high jewellery collection Escale à Venise, the Eblouissan­te parure flaunt distinctiv­e white and pink geometric designs, as seen in these earrings. A unique interpreta­tion of the palace façades and polychroma­tic marble floors of churches in The Floating City, the staggered motif set with baguette diamonds is also reminiscen­t of the

CHAUMET

The Lacis line from the architectu­re-inspired Perspectiv­es de

Chaumet collection is a subtle interplay of light and transparen­cy created by the fils couteau setting. The signature Chaumet technique renders the metal structures invisible, allowing the gemstones to sparkle. This necklace also recalls the stone latticewor­k and mashrabiya­s of modern architectu­re, as well as a maze of narrow streets. Perspectiv­es de

HARRY WINSTON

Located just blocks away from Mr Winston’s office in New York City, Central Park often provided a fresh perspectiv­e and inspiratio­n to him and his designers.
