JOYERIA

MÁS ALLÁ DE LA LUZ

UN VIAJE INICIÁTICO AL CORAZÓN DEL ANTIGUO EGIPTO

Este año, Valérie Messika explora el fascinante y misterioso atractivo del antiguo Egipto. Presenta una colección de alta joyería solar y poderosa: Beyond the Light, una lluvia incandescente de oro y diamantes, una promesa de resplandor eterno. La Maison parisina sueña con un viaje único y místico. Una odisea mágica donde la pasión, la audacia y la excelencia componen una fascinante y majestuosa colección de arte sin igual.

La directora artística combina a la perfección sus inspiraciones y su saber hacer. A través de una pureza de formas y líneas gráficas, un aspecto imperial y piedras excepcionales, Valérie Messika dirige una sinfonía retrofuturista sutilmente teñida de Egipto y su mitología hipnótica. Los conjuntos únicos e innovadores en los que los diamantes se transforman pieza a pieza dan como resultado una colección de joyas vibrante y mística.

AKH-BA-KA

LA ODISEA DE UN DIAMANTE EXCEPCIONAL

La Maison of Messika está escribiendo un nuevo capítulo en su historia con un extraordinario diamante de 33 quilates, una piedra extraordinaria que ilumina la pieza central de la colección de Alta Joyería 2022 . Valérie Messika se atreve a asumir un desafío inesperado al crear Akh-Ba-Ka, un conjunto con un diseño inherentemente inspirado en la mitología y el estilo del antiguo Egipto, concebido en diamantes y oro blanco. Los diamantes heroicos que aparecen en el juego son 15 gemas excepcionales cortadas del mismo diamante en bruto de 110 quilates.

En la mitología del antiguo Egipto, KA simboliza la energía vital y BA representa la transformación, desde el vuelo hasta el más allá. De la unión de estas fuerzas brota AKH, la transfiguración de una persona hacia la luz. Por lo tanto Akh-Ba-Ka es trascendencia, una epopeya fascinante de un diamante en bruto, así como una historia de transmisión, familia y saber hacer único.

EL RENACIMIENTO DE UNA PIEDRA EN BRUTO EXTRAORDINARIA

El diamante de 110 quilates es una audaz aventura que comenzó en la mina Lucara en Botswana.

El mapeo de la composición modular es seguido por el momento de la metamorfosis de esta gema en bruto de 110 quilates en 15 diamantes tallados. Un esfuerzo meticuloso, la precisión del trabajo se inspira en la naturaleza misma del diamante en bruto, que dicta qué formas se deben adoptar. La devoción y la experiencia del comerciante de diamantes se han unido al instinto audaz del diseñador para devolver la vida a este diamante en bruto de 110 quilates en un conjunto de alta joyería increíble y único que marca un hito en la historia de Messika Maison.

UNA MAESTRÍA ÚNICA PARA UN COLLAR EXCEPCIONAL

Una verdadera obra maestra dentro del conjunto, el collar cuenta con 2.550 diamantes, con un total de 71,49 quilates. Su diseño contemporáneo pero progresivo reinterpreta el mítico escarabajo alado egipcio gracias a una ingeniosa combinación de diamantes y oro blanco facetado. En el centro de este extraordinario collar, el diamante de 33 quilates se inserta mediante un sutil juego de colgantes. La fuerza de esta gema proviene de sus extraordinarias propiedades: clasificada D por su color y FI por su claridad. Por lo tanto, esta piedra especial es de una pureza muy rara. Su resplandor incomparable lo hace casi incandescente.

Para sacar lo mejor de un diamante de 33 quilates, se necesitan visión y conocimientos técnicos basados ​​en una artesanía excepcional. La creación de Akh-Ba-Ka requirió más de 1000 horas de trabajo, de cuatro a cinco joyeros a tiempo completo durante 6 meses con 800 pavés de diamantes para el engaste del diamante de 33 quilates. Para esta aventura en el diseño, la Maison ha multiplicado los desafíos diseñando una pieza transformable. La estructura que acuna la piedra de 33 quilates se puede separar del collar para convertirse en un broche. Otro desafío más brillantemente asumido por los maestros joyeros.

The new Torsade de Chaumet High Jewellery collection -THE ART OF MOVEMENT

The new Torsade de Chaumet High Jewellery collection –THE ART OF MOVEMENT

Like a series of snapshots, the new Torsade de Chaumet High Jewellery collection achieves the feat of suspending motion in gold and gemstones. Inspired by the Maison’s long heritage and its naturalistic creations, this collection plays with endless possibilities offered by a dynamic twist.

DISCOVER THE COLLECTION

The first jeweller to open on the legendary Place Vendôme in 1812, Chaumet pays tribute to the origins of the Maison with the Torsade de Chaumet collection. Inspired by the movement of the frieze wrapping the Vendôme column, these creations offer a modern and fresh revisiting of the twist – “torsade” in French – in an ode to movement and life.

INTERLACING DIAMONDS

Whether tightly coiled or loose, winding gracefully or flowing freely, these versatile twists achieve the prowess of freezing the vivacity of a movement in gold and diamond.

From the classic brilliant-cut to the rose-cut, or even the ascher-cut reimagined as a nod to Place Vendôme, these virtuoso creations are true sculptures of light enhanced by multiple sizes of diamonds in an interplay of radiance and relief.

Chaumet’s signature jewel, the Torsade de Chaumet tiara encapsulates the grace of interlacing twists dancing freely around a line of diamonds. A creation which appears to defy gravity and celebrates 200 years of mastery of Chaumet’s High Jewellery atelier.

LIGHT AND COLOURS

Ceylon sapphires, Mozambique rubies, Colombian emeralds… Like a painter, Chaumet punctuates torsades of light with precious touches of colour.

Sources of emotion, the stones have been individually selected for their extraordinary aura. Whether they honour the Chaumet blue or a passionate red, these creations convey the Maison’s emblematic art of colour with grandeur.

CHOPARD

Red Carpet Collection

A jewellery ‘Paradise’

It is a uniquely magical moment, the most glamorous event of the year. For the Cannes Festival, which Chopard has been officially partnering since 1998, the Maison’s workshops annually rise to a new pinnacle of creativity by reinventing the miracle of the Red Carpet Collection.

A stunning demonstration of jewellery-making prowess lighting up a lifelong passion for the cinema and paying tribute to the actresses who embody its radiant energy during the legendary ascent of the staircase. With the opening of the Cannes Festival on 6 July 2021, Chopard’s Co-President and Artistic Director, Caroline Scheufele, is unveiling all 74 creations composing this collection, themed around a fabulous haven of fantasy. Paradise expresses all the dreamy richness of which Caroline Scheufele is capable, flinging wide open the doors to the palaces of the imagination.

Theatre of dreams

Each piece of jewellery stems from an emotion, each culminating from an idea in a creation. Then comes the sketch, the mosaic of precious stones, colours like destinations, and a wild desire to share. For the opening of the Cannes Festival  (6 to 17 July) , Caroline Scheufele is unveiling the traditional Red Carpet Collection.. A creative universe whose texture and density unfold in the dazzling landscape of her imagination. Like a director, this keen film-lover orchestrates each of her collections around a real narrative, a master canvas within which her creations come to life and give substance to her vision.

Paradise, a haven of marvels

The Paradise-themed Red Carpet Collection 2021 takes us into a universe dear to the Maison: that of unspoilt, generous and sublime nature. A dreamlike and fertile place, permanently accessible to everyone, free to imagine its contours and to go there to recharge their batteries as they please. A ‘Paradise’ to be found within oneself, according to one’s imagination and desires. A realm of all possibilities.

When instilling a baroque, fanciful spirit into the Collection, Caroline Scheufele drew inspiration from the lush nature of the mythological or real places populating her fantasy repertoire. A bountiful Garden of Eden, where precious stones are picked like berries, where plants and an

imals offer their songs and spectacular colours; a secret landmark, like the island of Pantelleria, where the telluric depth of the volcanic rocks is reflected in the crystalline transparency of the waters where Caroline Scheufele loves to immerse her gaze; or a supernatural, vision of nature resembling that of the fantasy film Avatar, a metaphorical space in which to find refuge, to escape the hostility of reality and to find a new lease on life.

Among the countless references enlivening Caroline Scheufele’s majestic world, the Artistic Director has brilliantly enlisted a whole range of creative resources. She explained: “The Red Carpet Collection always gives me the opportunity to give free rein to my creativity and this year I was inspired by the idea of Paradise: I wanted our creations to invite women on a journey towards a comforting haven, an imaginary world brimming with dreams and optimism.” She continued: “There are various ways of envisaging one’s personal Paradise and I have tried to give life to these multiple worlds within the Red Carpet Collection through creations honouring fauna, flora and the finest gemstones, as well as by designing jewellery that is part of the fantasy of movies.”

“The Red Carpet Collection is a jewellery masterpiece made possible by the skill of all the artisans who pool their talents in our Haute Joaillerie ateliers. Each of these creations is a work of art in itself.

Chopard, sculptor of wonders

Among the Chopard Haute Joaillerie collections, Red Carpet is the one that embodies the ultimate dazzlement, nourished by Caroline Scheufele’s curious and lively view of the world. This collection also highlights the extraordinary work of the Artisans who exercise their skills in Chopard’s Haute Joaillerie’s Geneva workshops, the largest in Switzerland. From design to volume, from goldsmithing to gemsetting craftsmanship, these Artisans combine their talents in giving life to this collection of 74 creations corresponding to the number of years since the Cannes Festival first began.

Each year, the challenge of creating a collection of this magnitude in the same workshop is taken up by the Artisans, who apply their own genius and expertise to each creation. In this respect, the Red Carpet Collection symbolises the quintessence of classic jewellery-making expertise and carefully preserved tradition, nurtured by a fresh eye and a genuine avant-garde spirit. It is in this commitment of heart and mind, expressed through the nobility of hand craftsmanship, that the emotion of this new collection unfolds, impelled by the fertile spirit of fabulous odysseys.
