Taking cues from the petunia flower, Anabela Chan’s Spirulina Petunia Earrings showcase her distinctive Fruit Gems™ technique. Instead of natural stones, she transforms overlooked materials into radiant gems: green pigments drawn from spirulina algae and blue tones from butterfly pea flowers are carefully extracted and perfected. Blended with synthetic stones such as paraiba tourmaline, emerald and peridot, they bloom into a miniature garden worn upon the ears.
Each petunia is hand-shaped using 18k gold vermeil, with a tiny golden ladybird resting on the petals, adding a playful yet refined detail.
The emerald jewellery design embodies Chan’s “From Waste to Wonder” philosophy, a forward-thinking approach to sustainable jewellery. By fusing heritage techniques with modern innovation, the brand demonstrates that true beauty can be born from the most unassuming, environmentally conscious sources.

On the Met Gala red carpet, actress Nicole Kidman mesmerised the fashion world in a suite from Cindy Chao’s White Label, with the Four Seasons Branch bracelet at its heart. Emerald jewellery forged in titanium, remarkably light yet strong, the bracelet extends and curves like a lifelike tree branch. Every detail is hand-set with precision, capturing the delicacy of nature itself.
Its allure lies in a gemstone “garden” that shifts with the seasons. Thousands of diamonds, yellow diamonds, tsavorites, sapphires and colour-changing garnets are arranged with painterly skill, echoing the ever-changing rhythms of nature. Each stone sparkles with its own voice, yet harmonises into a vivid tableau of light.
Through the fusion of master craftsmanship, contemporary materials and artistic vision, this bracelet stands as a symbol of refinement, luxury and beauty without end.

Cartier’s emerald jewellery rosary is a poetic union of cinema and haute joaillerie. Director Wes Anderson collaborated with the maison to recreate an 1880s crucifix for his new film The Phoenician Scheme. The piece bears Cartier’s iconic Tutti Frutti signature, set with rubies, emeralds, geometric motifs and rose-cut diamonds that reflect Anderson’s unmistakable visual world.

The Fred 1936 Collection reminds us that emerald jewellery’s greatest stories often begin in childhood, as when Fred Samuel first marvelled at gems beneath the Argentinian sun. Decades later, those memories were distilled into the collection’s Art Deco arch motif. At its centre lies a 4-carat Muzo emerald from Colombia, poised within an inverted arch and framed by baguette and brilliant-cut diamonds, its elegance heightened by a string of Akoya pearls. Together, they draw nostalgic architectural lines that reimagine the past with rare grace.
