High Jewelry: Paris 2025

Boucheron

Boucheron presented their “Impermanence” collection, a High Jewelry exploration of the coexistence between eternity and the ephemeral. Created by the maison’s creative director, Claire Choisne, this “Carte Blanche” collection features six ikebana-inspired compositions, each designed to capture the fleeting beauty of nature. Elements such as tulips, thistles, cyclamen, irises, magnolias, and poppies are “frozen in their evanescent glory.” The jewelry takes sculptural form, designed to “rest on the body” and invite reflection on nature and its preservation.

Buccellati

Buccellati unveiled a new capsule collection of three one-of-a-kind evening clutch bags, blending historical inspiration with contemporary design. Presented during Paris High Jewelry Week, the collection pays tribute to founder Mario Buccellati’s original “bejeweled bags” from the 1920s and 1930s, known for their elegant embroidery and precious-stone embellishments. Drawing further inspiration from historic clutch bags restored for a 2024 Venice exhibition, the collection includes a green velvet rectangular clutch with a cabochon rubellite tourmaline, a black velvet clutch adorned with diamonds and rubellites, and a spherical black velvet bag with diamond-set triangles and a yellow gold handle. Each piece embodies Buccellati’s commitment to craftsmanship and timeless elegance.

Bvlgari

Bvlgari’s “Color Journey Turamali” collection highlights the versatility of tourmaline, particularly the rubellite, as a prized gemstone in High Jewelry. Featuring a spectrum of tourmaline colors—from Paraiba and Lagoon to Mint and Rubellite—the collection emphasizes the stones’ exceptional clarity and brilliance. The “Blooming Garden” series celebrates pink tourmalines, evoking the freshness of spring, while “Symphony in Pink” showcases the vibrancy of rubellites, their chromatic soul at the forefront. During the Paris presentation, Bvlgari’s executive creative director, Lucia Silvestri, shared her ongoing engagement with the selection of jewels, emphasizing the maison’s dedication to innovation and artistry.

Cartier

Cartier’s “En Équilibre” High Jewelry collection, revealed in Paris at the Ritz at Place Vendôme, explores the balance between simplicity and extravagance, symmetry and asymmetry. Jacqueline Karachi, director of High Jewelry creation, describes “En Équilibre” as “creating a distinctive line through understatement,” where precision and harmony guide each design. Highlights include the Scalera ring, which features a Zambian emerald in a tiered architectural setting, and the Byzas necklace, combining Ceylon sapphires and Zambian emeralds to emphasize the power of contrast. The collection celebrates Cartier’s vision of elegance and exquisite craftsmanship.

Chopard

Chopard’s “The Master of Jewelry Watches” collection celebrates the maison’s rich history of innovation and artistic excellence, which dates back to 1860. Rooted in the Scheufele family’s heritage in Pforzheim, Germany, Chopard has long been a leader in precision and artistry, from the introduction of an innovative pocket watch clip in 1912 to its early embrace of the Art Deco movement. Chopard continues to push boundaries with distinctive designs using platinum and geometric forms.

Gucci

The Gucci High Jewelry 2025 collection unveiled three distinct lines: “Labirinti Gucci,” “Horsebit,” and “Marina Chain,” each exemplifying extraordinary craftsmanship and exceptional gemstones. “Labirinti Gucci,” inspired by Italian gardens, features streamlined designs with vibrant stones such as tanzanite and aquamarine, evoking the natural beauty of fountains and rose petals. The “Horsebit” collection reinterprets the iconic equestrian motif in rings, necklaces, and bracelets adorned with sapphires and rubies. Meanwhile, the “Marina Chain” line revives a 1960s maritime-inspired design, incorporating a range of stones like rubies, tsavorites, and sapphires in a striking contemporary look.

Louis Vuitton

Louis Vuitton’s “Virtuosity” High Jewelry collection is an exquisite celebration of mastery and boundless creativity. Comprised of 110 one-of-a-kind pieces, it explores two realms: the “World of Mastery,” where skill meets emotion and precision, and the “World of Creativity,” where heritage evolves into liberated, imaginative expression. Spanning twelve themes, the collection highlights rare gemstones such as a 30.56 carat black opal and a 30.75 carat emerald, with designs that merge Louis Vuitton’s iconic codes with innovative architectural forms. This opulent collection embodies the maison’s dedication to craftsmanship, creativity, and pursuit of artistic freedom.

Pomellato

Pomellato’s “Collezione 1967” boldly reimagines the maison’s artistic roots, fusing iconic design codes with a contemporary, free-spirited vision. This High Jewelry collection, handcrafted by Milanese artisans, honors Pomellato’s evolution across three transformative decades: the revolutionary chain artistry of the 1970s, the sculptural designs of the 1980s, and the vibrant, chromatic forms of the 1990s. Encompassing 75 masterpieces, the collection celebrates Pomellato’s commitment to blending traditional craftsmanship with innovative design, resulting in jewelry that is both luxurious and playfully modern.
