The 52-piece collection was crafted from start to finish by Piaget’s in-house ateliers. Those include 41 pieces of jewellery and 11 watches, which are divided into two chapters: Azureia and Beautanica.
Yves Piaget unveiled the house’s first-ever “21st Century Collection” in 1969, with extravagant jewellery and watch designs which pushed the boundaries of craftsmanship and artistry.
Diane Kruger wears the Volouptuous Borealis Neckclace, Exalting dance earrings and the night illusion treasures ring.
This year, the collection is reborn as“ Metaphoria ”, a dazzling metaphor for nature and the breathtaking metamorphoses that take place within it.
His Highness Sawai Padmanabh Singh wears the Altiplano Skeleton High Jewelry watch, and the Dazzling Glow Brooch Piaget.
“ Our goal was to emphasise details that call to mind natural phenomena, such as the flow of a waterfall or the rays of the sun, while inspiring a particular emotion, explains Stéphanie Sivrière, creative director at Piaget. “The materials we use, from insect elytra to precious wood, were selected to bring an unpredictable, living element to a piece of 21st century high jewellery,” she continued.
