JEWELLERY & WATCHES 89 double ribbon interlaced with diamonds lays its leaves sprinkled with natural pearl fruits in the hollow of the neckline . The dazzling effect is heightened through the interplay of light between the stems set with brilliant-cut diamonds and the leaves covered with 8 / 8 diamonds . Featuring a cushion-cut Colombian emerald of 21.59 carats in an intense and silkily saturated green , the piece demonstrates a remarkable sense of purity . This extends to the finger where a transformable ring is topped with a stone of more than 10 carats , while the bud sprouting on the wrist boasts the velvety hues of a 10.53-carat cabochon . The perfection of the pairing is also illustrated in the two pendant earring proposals . A parure in keeping with the Maison ’ s pearl tradition , complemented by a hair ornament that can be transformed into a brooch .
Fougére This parure ’ s eight pieces transport one to the undergrowth , where the slender leaves of the ferns shine in the dappled light . While the necklace becomes a plume of light , the Maison ’ s signature tiara skims over the hair like a bird ’ s wing . With a focus worthy of a botanist , the craftsmen of 12 Vendôme chased the white gold into very fine sections worked in layers . Two extraordinarily fine setting techniques combine to evoke the idea of dewdrops tipping the leaves : the illusion setting that barely raises the stones and bezel setting . While the necklace becomes a plume of light , the Maison ’ s signature tiara skims over the hair like a bird ’ s wing . Abounding in transformable pieces , the parure is aesthetically anchored in the present .
A brooch moves from the shoulder to a hair clip , while fully articulated earrings can be taken apart with removable diamonds to multiply the style possibilities . Supple rings hug the finger , including one sparkling with a 5.01-carat brilliant-cut , D-IF type IIA diamond .
Ecorce Containing four pieces , the parure captures the essence of a precious wood with jewel- encrusted bark . In tribute to the Chaumet naturalist tradition , the fully articulated necklace shimmering with an exceptional opal had each vein individually modelled before being set stone by stone down to the nearest millimetre . In a trompe-l ’ oeil recreation of marquises , the brilliant-cut stones combine with sapphires in subtly dégradé shades . Reminiscent of waterdrops dripping after a rain shower , it is crowned with a 50.61-carat black Australian opal . Its weight is as unique as its fascinating iridescences of green , blue and also red , the rarest , with the fervour of the fires heightening the emotional impact of this talismanic piece . Set in a ring with a veined shank , a 10.13-carat black opal provides a dazzling match to earrings totalling 3.65 and 3.91 carats .
