Chopard High Jewellery entrances guests in an immersive garden wonderland at teamLab SuperNature Macao

To enter The Enchanted Eden is to enter Chopard’s dazzling universe of haute joaillerie, a colourful garden of exquisite diamonds, emeralds, sapphires, rubies and other precious stones, each displayed among the immersive experience of teamLab SuperNature Macao.

Magic and fairytales have been at the Swiss maison’s core ever since its debut jewellery creation in the mid-1970s, when Happy Clown—a jewel-encrusted, playful piece with a belly full of dancing diamonds and other precious stones—set forth a new chapter in Chopard’s legacy. Over two nights at teamLab Macao, The Enchanted Eden showcased a breathtaking high jewellery collection that brought to life the allure of mysterious emerald, the hypnotic ruby, and the brilliance of Chopard diamonds and other precious stones.

Hosted by Tatler, Chopard and Sands China, the exclusive events saw just 30 high-profile guests enjoy a VIP evening of live entertainment, immersive digital artworks and dazzling jewels on September 20 and 27.

Set against the sparkle of diamonds and the colourful backdrops of the teamLab art space, the evening was centred around a menu of gastronomic delights, meticulously crafted by five of Sands China's expert chefs.

Before the dinner, guests were led on a journey through the installation Valley of Flowers and People: Lost, Immersed and Reborn—where a parure comprising 182.24 carats of pear-shaped emeralds paid tribute to the regenerative power of nature—into Chopard’s universe, where more than 100 carats of oval-shaped rubies, each bearing diamond hems, took the form of blossoming flowers and models elegantly showcased a diverse collection of high jewellery, ranging from exquisite necklaces and mesmerising earrings to beautifully adorned cuff bracelets.

These are just a few of several pieces that featured in The Enchanted Eden, shining a light on the nature-inspired creations of Chopard. During the meal, talented violinist Olivia Dawn and flutist Zoe Lai also performed musical pieces composed with these exquisite designs in mind.

The arts are also central to the imaginative creations of Chopard. From the Red Carpet Collection, magical blue hues of sapphires are contrasted against the brilliance of diamonds, on a pair of chandelier earrings and a latticework necklace.

In addition to jewellery, the event also included a showcase of exceptional timepieces, among them the L.U.C Full Strike, which was given the Aiguille d’Or grand prize at the 2017 Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève, the Oscars of the horology industry. Alongside an emerald and trapeze-cut diamond watch from the Imperiale collection, the arabesque motif of the palm leaf is the centrepiece of a diamond and ruby watch from the Green Carpet Collection.

In 2013, Chopard embarked on a journey towards sustainable luxury with the commitment of supporting only responsible mining and usage of diamonds by certified suppliers of the Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC). Since July 2018, Chopard has pioneered and championed the sustainability movement in the industry by committing to using 100 per cent ethical gold for all their jewellery and watch creations.

A pioneer in sustainable luxury, earlier this year Chopard announced another milestone—to be the first luxury maison to roll out its commitment of using recycled steel in an effort to reduce its carbon footprint. By the end of 2023, all Chopard steel watches, including bracelets and cases, will be produced by Lucent Steel composed of at least 80 per cent recycled steel. 

Inside the entrancing digital wonderland of teamLab SuperNature Macao, Chopard’s haute joaillerie and fine timepieces captured the hearts and ignited the imaginations of all who experienced this unforgettable curated exhibition.
