It's Been A Joyful Ride

ELLE: Tell us how the Happy Diamonds series came to be. 

Caroline Scheufele: The concept of Happy Diamonds was the brainchild of Chopard’s in-house designer Ronald Kurowski. He was inspired by watching how sunbeams danced across a waterfall during a walk in the Black Forest (Germany), back in the 1970s. Seeking to recreate the same visual effect in jewellery, Kurowski decided to leave diamonds free to whirl between two sapphire crystals, thus allowing them to express the full force of their radiant beauty. It was best summed up by my mother, Karin Scheufele, when she saw the first creation, the Happy Diamonds watch, and she said, “Diamonds are happier when they’re free.”

ELLE: How have the Happy Diamonds evolved over the years?
