Bulgari Festa
Bulgari’s latest Festa line is a tribute to its brashly Italian spirit, inspired by the timeless tapestry of cinematic art and regal glamour that is so essential in European high fashion. The collection features more than 100 exquisitely unique jewels and high end watches crafted in the spirit of the Italian Festas, ranging from the playful use of festive gems to glittery diamond-platinum combinations.
Piaget Sunlight Journey
Piaget shines bright in Sunlight Journey with fine necklaces, watches, rings and earrings channeling the path of the sun and the moods it creates. Fire, volcanoes, and azure blue seas of the Amalfi Coast in Italy are expressed in three lines: Secrets of Dawn in shades of beige, grey and pink, Midday Festival’s sparkly interpretations of sky and sea, and Nightfall Celebration with vibrantly sparkling red, pink, and yellow.
Van Cleef & Arpels Le Secret
Masters of secrecy Van Cleef & Arpels once again use concealed fastenings, hidden figurines and push-of-a-button details with exquisite flair to bring us Le Secret. Besides clear influence of nature, love and literature, several of these pieces can also be transformed with small, clever tweaks. It is akin to taking a stroll in a magical garden, with fantastical creatures waiting to surprise at every corner.
Chanel Flying Cloud
This mesmerising, exclusive nautical collection is an ode to Gabrielle Chanel’s time aboard the Flying Cloud yacht (belonging to her lover, the second Duke of Westminster – the very same who introduced her to tweed). Chanel shows us that it’s okay to have fun with high jewellery in this line infused with elements of intrigue, romance and freedom of the open sea. Knots, sailor tattoos, and floats are among the quirky motifs seen in this white gold, sapphire and diamond-encrusted dream.
