Butterflies by Chopard for Mariah Carey

In 1997 Mariah Carey made her debut with the album entitled Butterfly. A quarter of a century later, in 2022, the butterfly turned into a Chopard jewel. The Maison presented two lines: Happy Butterfly of high jewelery and the Happy Butterfly x Mariah Carey Collection, designed with the accompaniment of the American singer. Obviously the jewels have the silhouette of the butterfly. Winged moths, in fact, are one of the topos of jewelry. But they don’t go out of fashion for this: a jewel in the shape of a butterfly always offers an image of lightness and joy.

The collection is also due to the relationship between Mariah Carey and Caroline Scheufele, co-president and artistic director of Chopard: the singer performed for the Swiss Maison at the Cannes 2019 Festival, when traditionally the brand presents the Red Carpet Collection of high jewelry. The Happy Butterfly collection includes three pieces of high jewelery with pavé diamonds: a pair of earrings, a necklace and a ring, all set in ethical and Fairmined certified 18K white gold, in addition to the Happy Butterfly x Mariah Carey Line, which is a line of fine jewelry in 18-karat gold, diamonds and carnelian.

At the Cannes Film Festival, not only films are in competition, but also jewels. There is, however, a Maison that wins every year: it is Chopard, which has been a partner of the Festival for a quarter of a century and has created the Palme d’Or that rewards the winners. And, in addition, it presents its high jewelery collections. This year is also special because the Maison led by co-president and artistic director Caroline Scheufele celebrates 25 years of collaboration.

Collana di diamanti per 1369 carati ispirata al film di Alfred Hitchcock, Caccia al ladro (To Catch a Thief)

The combination is therefore celebrated in the best possible way: 75 pieces of fine jewelry inspired by the world of cinema. Plus a multicolored pendant that reproduces the sign of peace: a perfect idea for the tragic geopolitical moment that is sweeping the world. The jewels in the collection trace the entire history of cinema, from the first black and white films such as City Lights by Charlie Chaplin, with jewels made with white and black diamonds, to classic titles, such as the D-color diamond necklace, internally flawless, 13.69 carat, inspired by Alfred Hitchcock’s film, To Catch a Thief, set right on the French Riviera.

There are also animated films, such as Disney’s 101 Dalmatians, which becomes a bracelet with dog figures made of black and white diamonds, which took more than 470 hours to work. The collection also features the theme of roses, such as the ring studded with pink sapphires that encloses a 2-carat diamond, or a choker with pink sapphire pearls and diamonds, or the brooch with petals covered with white diamonds.

Chopard even greener with a maxi emerald

Published on February 8, 2022

news

It is quite rare for a jewelry house to present something that is not a jewel. The only exceptions envisaged concern precious stones but, they are in exceptional cases, such as the one concerning Chopard. One of these concerns a large emerald weighing 6,225 carats which equates to over 1.2 kilograms. Certainly you don’t see many emeralds that big, but also of such high quality. The emerald also has a name: Chopard Insofu Emerald. The word insofu means elephant in Bemba, the language of the people living in the region of origin of the stone, in Zambia, Africa. The stone was extracted, in fact, in the Kagem mine and was chosen directly by the co-president and artistic director of Chopard, Caroline Scheufele.

The fully traceable stone will be cut into different pieces for use in future Chopard collections. The Maison, which for some time has chosen to use only fairmined gold, during the week of couture in Paris also presented other pieces of high jewelery, such as a ring with a 10.88 carat radiant cut fancy intense pink diamond and a Toi ring. & Moi with a 4.10 carat deep blue fancy diamond and a white diamond.

There is a star who has won all the Cannes Film Festivals from 1998 to today. But she is neither an actress nor a director, although in some way Caroline Scheufele, co-president and artistic director of Chopard, directs the Swiss Maison. Chopard, in fact, has been a partner of the festival for 23 years and, punctually, on the occasion of the event presents a collection of high jewelery, as well as designing and producing the famous Palme d’Or awarded to those who receive the jury’s prize. This year the jewels that make up the collection, inspired by paradise, are 74, like the editions of the Festival.

Chopard high jewelery, it should be remembered, is also at the forefront of sustainability and fairtrade policies for gold and gems. This does not mean that the jewels are dazzling enough to shine on the red carpets and, subsequently, around the neck of some lucky ones who can buy or receive extraordinary pieces as a gift, such as the necklace with a vivid yellow fantasy diamond of 23.26 carats. In short, the Red Carpet 2021 collection is a paradise for those who love large, multifaceted, brilliant precious stones. But also the bracelet marked, precisely, as the colors of paradise, with a strong central graphic motif composed of assorted garnets, tsavorites, lazulites and assorted tourmalines, crowned by a 24-carat cabochon-cut spessartite garnet.

High jewelery with lace for Chopard

Anello Vague in oro rosa, con diamanti taglio pera e brillante

A new collection, once again in the sign of fair trade diamonds: Chopard was one of the first Maison to embrace, for its jewels, the idea of materials without original sin behind it. The novelty is called Precious Lace Collection and is inspired by the favorite fabric of grandmothers, lace. Or perhaps, given the times, to great-grandmothers. The shape of the jewels, in fact, is quite elaborate, with soft lines, curves and, above all, scalloped edges that recall ancient lace. Obviously gold and diamonds, especially pear cut, are the preferred materials for the collection.

The collection was designed by Caroline Scheufele, Chopard’s co-president and artistic director. The idea is to offer high jewelry that can be worn (almost) every day, at least even on normal social occasions. A not secondary aspect concerns the processing of jewelry, which is not simple: reproducing a lace effect with metal and diamonds was not easy but, on the other hand, Chopard boasts a process of making top quality jewelry. Another aspect to reiterate: the gold and the diamonds used were purchased from companies certified by the Responsible Jewelery Council.

The Chopard Red Carpet Love high jewelry collection created by Caroline Scheufele ♦ ︎

The destiny of Chopard and the red carpet, in particular that of the Cannes Film Festival, are intertwined: the jewelery brand has been the official partner of the event since 1998. That’s why the 2019 of the Swiss Maison’s high jewelry is called Red Carpet Collection, but with the addition of the word Love, which for the co-president and artistic director of Chopard, Caroline Scheufele, was the inspirational theme. But beware, the Red Carpet Collection not only celebrates the Cannes International Film Festival, but in general the theme of emotions aroused by love.

A vast theme, as one can easily guess, which then turns into different jewels, just as every love is different from the others. Precious and colored stones are used in all shades, and this also recalls the Love theme. The collection also includes some ring suites, earrings and necklace, but more in general they are unique pieces, those that become objects that symbolize a Maison, thanks to the care and elaborate design that distinguishes them. Diamonds, of course, also in Paraiba tourmalines, opals, tanzanites and amethysts are the real protagonists of the collection. How not to feel a little love for them too?

Rihanna, Catrinel Marlon, Julianne Moore … Chopard’s ambassadors are always famous women in the entertainment world. But they alternate with the same speed that Jennifer Lopez takes to change a husband. The Geneva-based Maison, an official sponsor of the Cannes Film Festival for 17 years, announced that the British-Thai actress and model, Araya Hargate, will be the brand’s new ambassador.

The Maison’s co-president and artistic director, Caroline Scheufele, recalled that Araya Hargate has already worn Chopard’s haute joaillerie creations on several occasions since her first appearance on the red carpet at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival. She is famous for her keen sense of fashion, Araya Hargate, also nicknamed Chompoo, and she has become a frequenter of international fashion shows and Haute Couture: an actress accustomed to playing many different roles. Now also that of Chopard’s ambassador. Lavinia Andorno

The magic of Chopard

Anelli della collezione Magical Setting di Chopard

By a magic in the setting technique, it’s born a high-jewelry collection Magical Setting by Chopard ♦

Inventing something new is difficult, but good designers often succeed. Even more difficult, however, is to innovate the technique, especially if the one in use has been tested for decades or even centuries. It seems, however, that Chopard was able to invent something new in the goldsmith’s technique. A spell defines her as Caroline Scheufele, Chopard’s co-president and artistic director. In fact, the innovative embedding technique, developed thanks to the work of Chopard master craftsmen, has been called Magical Setting.

Caroline Scheufele wanted to make the light of the gems more intense, enhancing the presence and personality of the jewel by making the embedding disappear.

It was not easy, it seems, because the technique of setting stones is an immutable tradition. Until now. At the end of many efforts, however, here is Magical Setting, which immediately turns into a collection of fine jewelry. In fact the stones seem to be free from the bond of the metal, which is just mentioned. The effect is remarkable. The jewels use diamonds, or diamonds with blue sapphires from Sri Lanka, rubies from Mozambique or emeralds from Colombia. The cluster revolves around a single important stone completely surrounded by gems of unusual size, which give the classic design an unexpected touch of bold modernity. And as for gold, Chopard emphasizes the selection of stones not only for quality, but also for the socially sustainable origin. It is not a minor detail. Giulia Netrese

The collection Red Carpet 2018, by Chopard, a festival of precious gems and exotic inspirations ♦ ︎

Chopard in 2018 has reached the 21 years of sponsorship of the Cannes Film Festival. It is Chopard’s, among other things, the golden palm given to the winners. On the occasion of the film festival Chopard presents new jewelry ideas. But above all, Chopard presents new collections of high-end jewelery at the same time as the Paris-Haute-Haute-Couture Week 2018-2019 which are inspired by the Cannes Film Festival. It is called, in fact, Red Carpet 2018 the collection consists of 71 jewels created under the artistic direction of Caroline Scheufele. The number 71 is not accidental, because it is also the age just completed of the Festival that is celebrated on the Croisette.
Some of the necklaces, earrings and rings made of emeralds from Colombia, diamonds, rubies, blue apatites, purple garnets, red jasper, sapphires and many other precious elements, deviate from the classic style of high jewelery: they are inspired by the travels around the artistic director’s world. It is also a way of remembering the times when the family members of Caroline Scheufele were traveling with suitcases of valuables from one royal court to another. The jewels seem to be inspired by an exotic, Central American, Asian or African style, with unusual designs and bright colors that look like macramé fabrics. The effect is really impressive: they also deserve a Golden Palm. Lavinia Andorno

Orecchini Happy Hearts con madreperla thaitiana, oro rosa e diamanti

At Baselworld Chopard becomes even greener (and renews the Happy Hearts collection) ♦ ︎
Baselworld is not just an opportunity for the big Maison to present new collections. Chopard, for example, has chosen the stage of the watch and jewelery fair to announce a green turning point. Or better yet again, to underline the philosophy that was embraced five years ago by the Swiss brand of fine jewelery and watchmaking and which is now further strengthened.
Protection of the environment, social responsibility and sustainability are, in fact, the themes that Chopard’s co-president, Caroline Scheufele, has decided to deal with the media. Gold and stones increasingly traceable, extracted so as not to cause harm to people and limit the impact on the environment: the project The Journey to sustainable Luxury by Chopard brings the date of 2013. At the Cannes Film Festival Chopard has already presented the first Green Carpet Collection to respect these intentions to the letter. And in 2014 presented the world’s first watch made with fairmined gold.
Now Chopard wants to take even bigger steps towards sustainability.
An example is the Happy Hearts collection, one of the Maison’s blockbusters. Now to this line of jewelry is added a new version with Tahitian mother of pearl, with a dark tinge tending to green (in theme with the green philosophy of Chopard), which is added to the existing variants in red, pink, blue, green and turquoise , as well as diamonds, onyx, malachite and tiger’s eye. Chopard hearts with Tahitian mother of pearl are mounted on 18-carat rose gold and take the form of earrings and a matching bracelet, with a diamond moving in a little heart. Giulia Netrese

Every now diamonds reserve an extra thrill. They are those who enter in history as particularly large stones, beautiful, important. Later they give their name to jewelry that ignite the imagination and become a myth. This is the case of Queen of the Kalahari by Chopard. It is the name of a rough diamond by their large dimensions: 342 carats. The name is that of the desert surrounding the Karowe mine in Botswana, where it was extracted this exceptional stone. Chopard then cut into the diamond stones 23, including five of over 20 carats. The result is a set of jewels thrilling: The Kalahari Garden. The designer of the collection has been satisfied: the sparkle of the jewels is an overview of the possible cuts reserved to the queen of the stones. There are, for example, a 50-carat round brilliant cut diamond, another with 26 carat heart-cut heart, one in the pear shape of 25 carat, one 21 carat emerald cut, and one with a cushion-cut of 20 carat. Needless to add that transparency and purity are at the highest levels.
Just look at the pictures of the result, that you see why the jewelry is costed a lot of work (3200 hours to be precise). The wow piece is a necklace with diamond-shaped petal, adorned with a detachable flower, to which you can hang one, two or three pendants. The earrings are no exception.
