Among its standout creations is the “Victory” necklace, a piece designed to embody triumph and transformation through the house’s signature savoir-faire.
Chanel turned to symbolism for its “Signes & Symboles” collection. Its “Talisman Contraste” ring reinterprets the maison’s codes as protective motifs.
Back in March, during a dazzling event in Milan, Bulgari released its “Eclettica” high jewellery collection.
The presentation included a new “Serpenti” necklace and brooch, continuing the house’s decades-long devotion to its coiled snake motif.
Its “Beauté Légendaire” necklace, centred on a 10.02-carat Fancy Vivid Yellow diamond, reimagines the ceremonial breastplates worn by Egyptian royalty.
Tiffany & Co. presented “Blue Book 2026: Hidden Garden,” a collection built around flora and fauna.
Its “Jasmine” necklace, inspired by an archival 1962 Jean Schlumberger design, features the collection’s largest natural diamond, while a diamond Butterfly necklace reinterprets the house’s enduring winged motif.
Cartier travelled to Saint-Tropez on the French Riviera to unveil “Le Chœur des Pierres,” its biggest high jewellery collection to date.
