Van Cleef & Arpels
Coffee table book
Delve into the Place Vendôme jeweller's world by leafing through The Van Cleef & Arpels Collection. This first volume, covering the period from 1906 to 1953, catalogues and studies pieces from the Heritage Collection, including some 700 jewels, precious objets, timepieces and 200 archive documents, examined in terms of their historical, artistic, and cultural context. And once you know all there is to know about Van Cleef & Arpels’ creative world, why not visit the boutique in the Majestic on the Croisette? Recently reopened after refurbishment, its new décor is more refined than ever.
Pasquale Bruni
Free flow
These new pieces, paying homage to the symbolism of the river, evolve the Aleluiá collection's aesthetic, transforming leaves into moons, dunes, and waves. The choker and bracelet duo comes in a harmonious combination of pink and white gold with champagne and white diamonds.
Tasaki
Rare pearls
Who can resist the latest addition to the M/G Tasaki Sliced collection? A fusion of Mélanie Georgacopoulos's bold approach and the Japanese jeweller's meticulous craftsmanship, the Sliced Bezel series explores the secret interior of a pearl. Freshwater pearls, sliced and framed in yellow gold – for the first time. Our favourite? The Sliced Sphere long necklace that's easy to wear and adds a touch of sophistication to any look.
Pomellato
Update
Good news for women who love neobling and chunky links: the Italian fashion house has just updated its Iconica line. Necklaces and bracelets have been pared down and are now available in gold and diamond versions, while two glittering, rounded pendants hang from two gold loops. The collection also includes new variations on existing models, like this maxi-link chain necklace revisited as a full-pavé. And finally, Iconica rings now come in three widths and a new thickness for easy stacking.
Lancement le 1er septembre.
Repossi
24 hours
The Italian jeweller's Antifer earrings are perfect for daytime wear, matching or mismatched, in pink gold with onyx, malachite, mother-of-pearl or turquoise centres. For evening, pavé diamond drop earrings frame the face, a glittering line punctuated by a sumptuous diamond or emerald, transforming you into the queen of the night.
Harry Winston
Say it with flowers
Floral motifs are classics and still going strong. This year, Harry Winston's Sunflower collection revisits the sunflower's sunny silhouette in new limited-edition haute joaillerie parures with yellow diamond centre stones surrounded by diamond petals – different houses, and different flowers.
Graff
Precious gardens
Photographed by Mikael Jansson and styled by Emmanuelle Alt, Rianne van Rompaey presented the Wild Flower collection by Graff in Villa La Vigie's gardens at Monte Carlo Beach, the backdrop for the campaign. Individual pieces can be worn together as a precious bouquet, mixing individual blooms, floral trios and clusters, and blossoms laid out in a row.
Tournaire
Top of the class
The French jeweller has given the iconic 4-colour Bic pen a sophisticated makeover. The collaboration initiated in 2019 has turned the pupils' faithful companion into a veritable work of art their parents are desperate to get hold of. Choose from four jewelled versions, each available in three colours – yellow gold, pink gold and white gold palladium plated. Our favourite is the BIC® 4 Colours x Tournaire x Orlinski, designed with France’s best-selling contemporary artist.
Piaget
Celebrations
Piaget celebrates 150 years of Extraleganza, an artful blend of extravagance and elegance, with a host of events in 2024. Most recently, the 96-piece Essence of Extraleganza haute joaillerie collection presentation in Paris. Highlights included a star-studded red carpet, haute couture show, sumptuous dinner, and private performance by Sister Sledge – an invitation to discover the joyous yet sophisticated Art de Vivre that hallmarks Piaget style. A lightness wonderfully illustrated by this gold, pink sapphire and spessartite garnet cuff that transforms into a bracelet.
Cartier
Exciting Full, round, and fleshy, the Grain de Café collection unveils new pieces, including this necklace in yellow gold, platinum, princess-cut diamonds, and brilliant-cut diamonds.
Fine jewellery is back
Maximalist lines may be in vogue, but fine jewellery is back, inspired by the new millennium and the Y2K trend that has swept through fashionista wardrobes. Gucci's equestrian-inspired Horsebit collection is totally in tune with this vision. Nouvel Héritage's Latch collection, inspired by streetwear, is also unisex, with Mini models added to the range. The bracelets and necklaces revisit the sneaker lace, offering a variety of ways to wear them.
