These are our favourite collections for the new summer 2024 season.

Buccellati

For summer, Buccellati’s Blossoms Colour and Opera Tulle collections are the perfect option. The Blossoms Colour collection is a range of silver jewels inspired by the beauty of flowers. They feature a fresh, playful design that is great for everyday wear. The collection features modern interpretations of the gardenia and daisy and combines handmade silver designs with semi-precious stones such as blue and yellow agate and pink opal. Stones are surrounded by gold-plated bezels set with brown diamonds. 

The Opera Tulle collection combines the tradition of ancient goldsmithing techniques with the originality and beauty of the house’s design. The collection includes rings, sautoirs, flexible and bangle bracelets, pendants and button earrings, presented in three different versions, but all having a common denominator: the radial tulle layer, which is the hallmark of most precious Buccellati creations. The logo element is set with semi-precious stones (like onyx and mother-of-pearl), with coloured enamels, or even left unset to exalt the tulle workmanship’s transparency and lightness. All versions are available with or without diamonds.

Chaumet

Chaumet’s Bee My Love collection returns this summer with new pieces that pay tribute to its signatures but with new surprises. The highlight of the collection is the Bee My Love necklace which required more than 750 hours of design development before being meticulously assembled and polished by hand. It is composed of 410 grams of gold and 43.73 carats of diamonds. Its unique design reflects the texture of honeycomb. 

The collection also introduces new pieces whose glittering gold echoes the incomparable radiance of the sun. With a delicate openwork design that evokes the pollen gathering of a bee, the mirror-polished rose gold cells dialogue with the brilliant-cut diamonds, sparkling with a thousand fires. The rounded, feminine motif is available on a pendant, a ring and a bracelet inspired by the toi et moi, as well as transformable earrings whose lower part can be detached, offering the possibility of being worn three different ways: as studs, full earrings or mismatched.

Chopard

Chopard’s My Happy Hearts collection is a sign of self-love embodied in delicate jewellery pieces. The new collection consists of necklaces, chain bracelets, rings and earrings based on the principle of a single heart motif. The pieces are presented in ethical 18-carat rose or white gold, with the heart of each piece of jewellery in carnelian, mother-of-pearl or diamond-set versions. The collection’s rings and earrings are also available with a dancing diamond.

The heart has long been a favoured symbol of the maison, paired with elegant coloured stones. Carnelian conjures up a passionate and incandescent symbolic field, while pure, silky, iridescent mother-of-pearl wraps the spirit in a comforting presence.

Tiffany & Co.

Tiffany & Co. Has revealed an exclusive collection by Pharrell Williams. The Tiffany Titan by Pharrell Williams collection is inspired by the mythological Poseidon’s trident and features bold designers that are an expression of one’s energy, power and force. The motif is juxtaposed by a unique-shaped link that is curved and soft against the sharpness of the spear.

The collection incorporates sharp, spear-like spikes within an array of necklaces, earrings, bracelets and rings embodying a sense of punk spirit. Offered in 18k yellow gold or titanium with all metal and diamond iterations, each piece challenges conventional methods in its design. With an unexpected twist on traditional diamond settings, the pavé pieces feature reverse-set diamonds that expose the diamond’s pavilion, maximising brilliance. The use of titanium contrasts the subdued, reflective quality of the material itself to produce an impactful statement, setting the designs apart from traditional jewellery. With technical precision in each design that is intended to move with the wearer, the collection showcases the House’s commitment to flawless craftsmanship.

Van Cleef & Arpels

Van Cleef & Arpels has revealed the new Pâquerette Collection, inspired by vibrant flora and an ode to summer’s blooming beauty. The limited collection of rings seamlessly blends golden hues with the vibrant tones of ornamental stones, evoking the warmth of sunlight and opening a new chapter of Van Cleef & Arpels’ floral story. Drawing on over a century of expertise, each ring is meticulously crafted to showcase the Maison’s commitment to excellence. From carefully selecting stones, including onyx, malachite, turquoise and more, to the intricate detailing of the flower motif, every element reflects Van Cleef & Arpels’ unparalleled savoir-faire.

 As a tribute to the Maison’s rich heritage, the Pâquerette Collection continues its storied tradition of botanical themes, offering a contemporary interpretation that captivates with its bold contrasts and elegant composition. Embodying the spirit of summer, these rings invite you to immerse yourself in a garden of timeless beauty.
