Trends, portraits, analyses: “Le Temps” is joining forces with the “Neue Zürcher Zeitung” as part of a series of articles devoted to watchmaking and fine jewelry. Our dedicated file

High jewelry is developing a new alphabet of colors with the appearance of gems in bright, tangy colors. The creations embrace a bold palette of shades, which pays homage to the diversity of precious stones but also and above all to that of fine stones which play an increasingly central role in fine jewelry. They offer an explosion of nuances that enriches the jewelry. Lagoon-colored aquamarines, deep purple amethysts, cherry red spinels, tanzanites with indigo reflections and even lemon-yellow citrines intertwine in the new collections and multiply the creative proposals. Even more so, colored diamonds, once neglected, are gaining popularity and reigning supreme in sophisticated pieces that are becoming more dazzling. This expanded choice of stones allows houses to stand out, play with contrasts and introduce bold patterns, often accentuated by unexpected combinations. The introduction of pop and maximalist gems paves the way for resolutely contemporary and spectacular jewelry.
