Sunlight Journey, light waves on the highly jewelery crafted by Piaget ♦
Sunlight Journey, a secret diary of sunlight shining on the Amalfi Coast. Piaget has so called his new jewelery collection. And what is better than light to spark a jewel? The sun’s rays, however, are not always the same: from morning till sunset the sensations that communicate the bright waves are different. So the collection was divided according to the different moments of the day and the light. And to show what Piaget calls the “sun moods”, the brand of Richemont group has organized at Cinecittà in Rome an event for a celebrity audience, from Claudia Cardinale to Juliette Binoche, models like Barbara Palvin, Coco Rocha, Shanina Shaik and Cheyenne Tozzi, welcomed by Piaget’s Ceo, Chabi Nouri. On the other hand, sun, cinema and Piaget are a triad that is reflected in each other: not surprisingly, Piaget’s Sunlight Journey collection was among the stars of the Cannes Film Festival.
The jewels-watch
The High Jewelry collection includes watches and jewels. Watches are, of course, super luxury jewelry more than just a timepiece. The secret watches, in fact, have been a peculiar feature of the Maison for several decades. The Sea Waves watch, for example, is an 18-carat pink gold manchette, with 428 brilliant cut diamonds (about 6.95 carats), while the secretive cover is made of a cabochon opal white (about 10.45 carats) And the dial is in mother of pearl. Other pieces extraordinary are Blue Shore, a white gold manchette with Palace decoration and lapis lazy dial, or Green Bisazza, white manchette with 156 emerald baguette cut (about 12.48 carats), 43 baguette cut diamonds (about 4 , 73 carats), one hundred brilliant cut diamonds (about 7.40 carats) and 23 black opal elements (2.90 carats).
Piaget’s High Jewelry
No wonder the great impact pieces of this collection are as many and as bright as the sun’s rays. For example, the collier embellished by a Sri Lanka oval cut sapphire matched with a diamond cascade. Or the collier with rubies and diamonds drawn on a rays pattern typical of Piaget, with a 6.63-carat yellow coussin diamond surrounded by red spinels and yellow and white diamonds. Or, again, a sautoir shimmering thanks to marquise cut diamonds, diamonds and feathers placed around an outstanding 45.99-carat blue star sapphire. The ring with a secret compartment is also extraordinary: it is made with a hard work with feathers embellished with purple sapphires, pink spinelli and diamonds. Lavina Andorno
