Majestueux colliers

A major piece in any precious set, necklaces attract plenty of attention, enhancing necklines and emphasising head position. In the new collections, these seven pieces represent all forms of expertise.

Chaumet

Artistic expressions.

The En Scène collection is inspired by music, dance and magic. The 39 pieces feature vibrant coloured stones. The white gold Illusion necklace is set with oval rubies from Mozambique, oval and brilliant-cut diamonds, and half-moon rubies.

Chopard

Modern enchantment.

The Red Carpet Collection is getting a new look for 2024 with 77 pieces inspired by the world of fairy tales. To set off the beauty of today’s princesses, these jewels take turns to be moving, gentle, quirky or offbeat. Pictured, the long diamond and ruby key pendant necklace.

Cartier

Animal magic

A parade of precious animals, in figurative, radical or abstract styles: Nature Sauvage is fascinating. A ring inspired by crocodile scales, a two-headed snake that becomes a necklace, a pattern resembling a skyscraper that stands out from the silhouette of a beetle or a zebra with a geometric coat featuring alternating streaks of onyx, openwork and lines of pavé diamonds. Pictured, the Amphista necklace in white gold, emeralds and diamonds.

Fred

The lights of Argentina.

IIdeal Light whisks you away to Argentina, where the jeweller made his childhood memories. He takes you on a deep dive into the La Boca district, where the tango originated. The Blazing Audacity set is a burst of colour with its five sparkling jewels. The Montserrat neighbourhood was the inspiration for the Exalting Joy set. Interpreting the dancing rhythms of carnival, a shape-shifting necklace unfurls in lines of gold, diamonds and spinels. Pictured, the Bright Vitality ribbon necklace, with diamonds and emeralds.

Chanel

Sporty chic.

With its Haute Joaillerie Sport collection, the Design Studio stays true to the sporty allure of Gabrielle Chanel. The Chevron pattern evokes speed, flashes of colour energise the mood of the pieces, while the symbols beloved by Mademoiselle Chanel – the lion, star or brand logo – take on a new sporting feel. The Quilted Stars necklace comes in white and yellow gold, diamonds, yellow diamonds, sapphires, onyx, and emerald-cut yellow diamond.

Dior

Precious embroidery.

The Dior Délicat collection, which is made up of 79 pieces, reinterprets the house’s heritage with a profusion of stones. Mimicking the delicate quality of lace, the settings fade into the background, bringing the stones into the limelight. With interplay between geometry and asymmetry, the jewellery fits the contours of the body like a second skin. The Dior Délicat necklace is made of white and yellow gold, diamonds and yellow diamond.
