Oh Hi High Jewellery

High jewellery isn’t just about sparkle it’s about craftsmanship, storytelling, personality, and a good dose of fantasy. And this year’s collections from the world’s top maisons exactly the fantasy that the world needs right now.

Whether it’s Van Cleef & Arpels capturing the carefree beauty of wildflowers, Cartier bringing myth and movement to life with emerald-studded serpents and prowling panthers, BVLGARI proving that bold design never goes out of style or Tiffany & Co. and Chanel are here to reminding us that impeccable details and sharp styling make all the difference these collections prove one thing: there is always a time and a place for beautiful jewelry.

BVLGARI

BVLGARI’s Tubogas collection is proof that some things don’t need fixing, just a little reinvention.

First introduced in 1948, the Tubogas technique involves wrapping gold or steel strips around a core with zero soldering, creating a smooth, flexible coil that’s as impressive structurally as it is aesthetically. This year’s refresh introduces 16 new designs, ranging from classic 18K yellow gold bracelets to bold three-tone variations and diamond-studded options. Because, let’s be honest, subtlety isn’t always the point.

For those who like a little drama, BVLGARI has taken its iconic Parentesi motif and given it the full diamond treatment. But the real showstopper is a gemstone necklace dripping in tanzanite, rubellite, and green tourmaline. The structure itself has also evolved, now featuring a triangular profile that adds an edgier, more architectural feel.

Tiffany & Co

Tiffany & Co.’s latest collection is all about celebrating precision, craftsmanship and gemstones

The Schlumberger bracelet, in 18K yellow gold and platinum, showcases the maison’s signature sculptural goldwork. Interwoven metal forms that create depth and texture. Every diamond is meticulously bead-set to catch the light while keeping the design seamless and fluid.

The Schlumberger Flowers and Stars bracelet takes that intricate goldwork and elevates it with rubies and diamonds, arranged symmetrically to enhance contrast and brilliance. Meanwhile, the platinum necklace (studded with aquamarines, blue zircons, and diamonds) is a study in balance. The aquamarines, prized for their transparency and soft blue hues, sit alongside the deeper, richer blue of the zircons. Diamonds are strategically placed to amplify the overall glow.

Then there’s the collection’s showpiece: a pendant centered around a stunning 43-carat green tourmaline. Set in platinum and 18K yellow gold, the design frames the gemstone beautifully, allowing light to flow through its elongated form. Surrounding sapphires and diamonds create a deliberate contrast of color and texture, making sure the piece feels structured, even in its boldness.

Cartier

Cartier’s Nature Sauvage collection also takes inspiration from the natural world but refines it with Cartier’s signature precision. The Celestun necklace, a tribute to the flamingo, plays with contrast and movement. Its sleek, stylised beak (crafted in black lacquer and rose gold) stands out against emeralds that resemble swaying reeds and aquamarines that mimic water. All of this leads to the star of the show: a breathtaking 38.50-carat aquamarine centerpiece.

Cartier’s beloved panther motif gets a fresh twist in the Panthère Jaillissante, a ring-bracelet hybrid designed to feel alive. The panther’s body, set with brilliant-cut diamonds and sapphire accents, curves around the wrist and hand, its emerald eyes locked onto an 8.63-carat Zambian emerald. Every detail, down to the articulation of the panther’s form, ensures it moves with you rather than just sitting on your skin.

Then there’s the Amphista necklace, inspired by the myth of the two-headed serpent. This striking piece features intertwined, diamond-encrusted forms that coil around nine octagonal Colombian emeralds, totaling 14.72 carats. Each serpent ends in a kite-shaped diamond, striking a perfect balance between geometry and natural fluidity. The articulation of the design means it sits effortlessly against the skin.

For the launch, Deepika Padukone graced the campaign, wearing key pieces from the collection. Cartier has always had a way of taking nature’s raw beauty and distilling it into something structured yet wildly captivating.

Chanel

Chanel’s latest COCO CRUSH collection is classic Chanel—effortlessly cool, subtly luxurious, and designed to be worn like a second skin.

Inspired by the quilted stitching of the maison’s iconic handbags, these pieces crafted in 18K BEIGE GOLD, white gold, and diamonds, play with light and shadow through fine engravings, giving the jewelry real depth and texture.

Mona Tougaard wears COCO necklaces, bracelets, and earrings layered with that perfect “thrown-together” ease that somehow still looks polished. The COCO CRUSH rings, now available in mini and small versions, get a fresh update with rubies, adding a pop of color to their sleek, curved lines. Meanwhile, Amelia Gray Hamlin makes a strong case for hoop earrings, their sculpted quilted relief nodding to Chanel’s heritage while keeping things distinctly modern.

There are no loud logos or over-the-top embellishments here—just sharp design, masterful craftsmanship, and that effortless confidence Chanel does so well.

Van Cleef & Arpels

Van Cleef & Arpels’ Folie des Prés collection pays hommage to wildflowers. Free-spirited, a little unpredictable, and effortlessly beautiful.

Instead of rigid symmetry, the pieces embrace nature’s randomness, letting diamonds and sapphires scatter like petals. The necklace, a garland of blossoms in 18K white gold, features 103 diamonds (6.89 carats) and 127 sapphires (23.64 carats), arranged in a way that looks almost accidental. The mix of round and pear-cut stones creates movement, while the contrast of diamonds and sapphires adds just the right balance of light and colour.

That same organic quality carries through to the earrings. Diamonds and sapphires layer together to mimic flowers in bloom, their asymmetry capturing the wild beauty of nature itself. With different cuts and settings, the earrings catch light from every angle, adding a gentle sparkle to their flowing form.

Then there’s the ring, compact but no less stunning. It brings together 15 diamonds (1.3 carats) and 7 sapphires (2.71 carats) in a lush, clustered arrangement that feels like a miniature meadow on your finger. The juxtaposition of high-relief and polished settings gives it a sculptural quality, making the gemstones pop against the smooth metal. Instead of chasing perfection, Folie des Prés celebrates the beauty of imperfection, making each piece feel as natural as it is a work of art.
