This Year's High Jewellery Creations Promise To Awe And Delight

If art is an escape from reality as Henri Matisse once I proclaimed, then the artistry found in this year’s haute Ijoaillerie collections should be regarded as an invitation to embark on an exhilarating journey of the imagination. Decadent gems are presented on otherworldly forms, brought to life through revered craftsmanship and innovative techniques that push the envelope of the inspired art form. Defiantly beautiful and joyously fantastical, these creations transport you from a life lived to a life dreamed through an evocative spectrum of emotions.

Boucheron’s intimate 25-piece Holographique collection, for example, weaves light as if it were a material in itself. Ceramic peonies and pansies look as if they were dipped in liquid rainbow before being further dressed with sizable central stones. Rock crystals are cut into geometric, sci-fi-looking cuffs and necklaces that are then similarly prism-glazed and lined with diamonds. The overall effect is one that captivates as much as it astounds—and it’s in part thanks to the Maison’s partnership with French aeronautics company Saint-Gobain and its cutting-edge silver and titanium powder oxide finish.
