A NEW DIMENSION

Judging from these out-of-this-world key pieces, it's apparent that maisons are pushing the boundaries of savoir faire with their new haute joaillerie collections.

LOUIS VUITTON

Deep Time, the maison's new high jewellery collection, is an epic journey through time that is narrated by the most exquisite gems. It begins with the supercontinent Gondwana, one of two landmasses that today covers the continents of South America, Africa, India, Australia and Antarctica. The expansive area finds expression in a rare layout of exclusively no-oil Colombian emeralds. Recalling the earth's circular movement, this seven-row platinum necklace is adorned with 259 custom-cut diamonds and features the house's signature V motif that takes shape via seven emeralds. The phenomenal gems dovetail into a V formation, culminating in a 4.51-carat emerald with a rare blue hue and impeccable saturation.

TIFFANY & CO.

The Blue Book 2023: Out of the Blue collection celebrates Jean Schlumberger's fascination with the many whimsical creatures of the ocean. The legendary Tiffany & Co. designer is renowned for creating astounding manifestations of its majesty and mystery. The new high jewellery range reinterprets his oceanic creations in seven themes: Shell, Coral, Jellyfish, Pisces, Starfish, Sea Star, as well as Star Urchin, which includes this striking necklace. A technical feat of symmetry and form, the white gold masterpiece brings to life the drama of the ocean with tanzanites, diamonds and hand-carved chalcedony to emulate the sea urchin's spiky exterior.
