A Celebration of High Jewellery

Feature: Quick Read

Words by Abigail Gurney-Read

Imagination becomes reality in the world of high jewellery – a discipline which unites craft, beauty and mother nature’s precious bounties. Breaktaking gemstones and intricate craftsmanship come into sharp focus as we lift the curtain on wearable works of art by Piaget, Graff, Bulgari and more prestigious maisons. Visit Fine Jewellery on the Ground Floor to experience the magic for yourself.

GRAFF

"Conjuring the magic of the folk tale that inspired it, the Tribal white-gold necklace pays tribute to the world’s natural wonders through sapphires and diamonds totalling more than 116 and 58 carats respectively"

BULGARI

"In its 75th year, the Serpenti stuns like never before with 55 marquise brilliant-cut diamonds and 71 round pear-cut rubies that decorate a sinuous white- and yellow-gold necklace – a modern talisman"

PIAGET

"The spectacular Metaphoria collection was born out of an elemental and spiritual study of nature. Its first chapter, Azureia, interprets water in its myriad incarnations through precious gemstones: diamonds as icicles and clear oceans captured in vivid aquamarines"

CHAUMET

"Calling to mind the Empress Joséphine Bonaparte herself, the namesake Joséphine Valse Impériale tiara is a regal display of craft. Diamonds are suspended on spectacular white gold with the maison’s signature fil-couteau technique – as if floating on air"

CHOPARD

"Where haute horlogerie and jewellery meet, you’ll find the L’Heure du Diamant collection – a series of fine watches that pay homage to diamonds in all their splendour. Such pieces are exquisitely complemented by the whimsical Animal World collection, created to celebrate Chopard’s 150th anniversary"
