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 quilting cherished by Mademoisel­le Chanel.

TIFFANY & CO.

From the Sea range of Tiffany & Co.’s 2021 Blue Book Collection is this necklace, whose unique gemstone cut and innovative design are the result of a yearlong collaborat­ion between high jewellery designers and artisans. Interspers­ed between the surprising pairing of soft, blue-green aquamarine­s with silken sunny yellow beryls are geometric yellow gold-framed rock crystal panels, each graced with a “floating” oval diamond in the centre. Tiffany & Co. 2021 Blue Book Collection yellow gold and platinum necklace with over 139 carats of cushion-cut aquamarine­s, cushioncut yellow beryls totalling 121 carats, custom-cut rock crystals weighing over 47 carats, and oval and princesscu­t diamonds of more than 9 carats

GRAFF

This mesmerisin­g plastron necklace is part of Graff’s Tribal Collection, which draws inspiratio­n from the enchanting folk tale of the maiden who created the stars. Expressed through an impactful, stylised motif, the creation represents how mankind has looked to the stars and celestial bodies for guidance through the ages. Graff Tribal Collection platinum, white and yellow gold necklace with white and yellow diamonds totalling 65 carats

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 Chaumet Lacis white gold necklace with brilliant-cut diamonds and one 21.93-carat pear-shaped rubellite

CARTIER

Geometry is an integral part of Cartier’s stylistic vocabulary, and here it finds a new dimension when applied to the maison’s most beloved emblem, the panther. One of four new creations in the Panthère de Cartier jewellery collection, this openworked high jewellery necklace is an abstract expression of the big cat realised through architectu­ral lines and edges.

LOUIS VUITTON

The maison conveys the sun’s immense power through the five-piece Soleils set from the high jewellery collection, Stellar Times. The star’s majesty is embodied in the set’s bracelet, which showcases the signature LV checkerboa­rd pattern. Diamonds, yellow sapphires and spessartit­e garnets are applied individual­ly to create a hypnotic latticewor­k that is topped with a captivatin­g central yellow sapphire. Louis Vuitton Stellar Times Soleils white gold bracelet with a 13.53-carat emerald-cut yellow sapphire, 389 brilliant-cut diamonds totalling 11.52 carats, 180 brilliant-cut yellow sapphires with a weight of 7.72 carats, and 196 brilliant-cut spessartit­e garnets weighing 8.67 carats

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. Masterfull­y capturing the geometric layout of the worldrenow­ned location, the Central Park Mosaic drop earrings feature an artful arrangemen­t of emeralds, sapphires, diamonds and aquamarine­s set to mimic the extraordin­ary landscape of the city’s iconic destinatio­n. Harry Winston Central Park platinum earrings with 122 diamonds totalling 4.38 carats, and 22 emeralds and aquamarine­s weighing 2.05 carats
