NAUTICAL THEME

Chaumet’s Encres line reimagines symbols traditionally tattooed on sailors as f ive unisex brooches. Worn traditionally on the side of the heart or on a shirt’s rolled-up sleeve, each piece depicts an evocative scene with a gold banner inscribed with a message in French. A tall ship embodies the inscription on a banner, L’amour est une aventure (Love is an adventure), while a lighthouse with a diamond-set ship’s wheel carries the poetic message L’amour me guide (Love is my guide). Each diamond-set Grand Feu enamel brooch has a concealed ring that transforms it into a pendant when worn on a chain.

ART OF DARKNESS

Mikimoto bucks tradition to give pearls a cool, street edge in its latest jewellery collection, Passionoir. According to the jeweller, the new men’s designs are “inspired by the chemical reaction brought by the strong contrast between the innocent beauty of pearls combined with the powerful and mysterious black.” The new range of necklaces, rings, bracelets, ear cuffs, and stud earrings incorporate mostly black South Sea cultured pearls with a striking yet sensuous all-black f inish. While most styles feature black rhodium-plated silver chains, there is also a black rhodium-coated white gold brooch with white Akoya cultured pearls and a diamond ring with alternating links of black rhodium-coated white gold.
