Under the combined influence of the Maison ’ s virtuosity in craftsmanship and the historical Piaget taste for the couture theme , this realm brings precious textures to gold while offering it a whole new fluidity .
Coiled gold , the common thread of this High Jewellery collection , fits around this remarkable cuff featuring an extraordinary pairing of 26 rose and violet sapphires for a total of nearly 56 carats . The gold ropes , which appear to float in midair , follow the organic shape of each gemstone , demonstrating the jeweller ’ s unparalleled savoir-faire in crafting precious metal . In the same spirit , Piaget proposes a ring set with a violet sapphire and an exuberant pair of earrings adorned with 18 matching sapphires .
It is no small feat to unearth some forty Colombian baguette-cut emeralds , but here the accomplishment takes the form of an exceptional watch ornamented with 26.11 carats of the green stones . This one-of-a-kind piece drips with a mosaic of baguette-cut emeralds and diamonds , which even overflow along the sides , bringing the piece a truly original look . Articulated and underscored with a coil of yellow gold , each element is mounted on a different level to accentuate the depth of this creation . The exquisite refinement of this watch , with a dial in green enamel , demonstrates the mastery with which Piaget revisits its heritage . It is accompanied by a ring featuring a bold design where diamonds are offset from the setting , scattering from an emerald of 2.53 carats . Meanwhile , an extraordinary solitaire highlights a pearcut D diamond of 4.15 carats of which the line is modernised by a marquetry of baguette-cut diamonds and coiled yellow gold threads . Piaget completes the set with an asymmetrical pair of earrings .
This one-of-a-kind collection , emblematic of Piaget ’ s dual savoir-faire in watchmaking and jewellery , exemplifies the Maison ’ s perfectionism in crafting the tiniest detail . Here , past and present fuse together to unveil a new virtuosity .
