Cover When nature moves beyond mere inspiration to become a design language in its own right, jewellery transforms into a medium for capturing original beauty through exceptional craftsmanship. Here, gemstones and the natural world blend seamlessly, radiant and refined

As nature becomes part of the creative vocabulary, jewellery reinterprets its forms through skilled artistry where gemstone and organic motif unite in pieces that feel both captivating and precise.

From the spines of sea urchins to the geometric intricacy of honeycombs, nature comes alive in bold, expressive jewellery. Carved emeralds, vivid red coral, perforated sapphires and radiant diamonds converge in designs that echo the mystery of the ocean. Elsewhere, honeycomb motifs embrace a genderless allure, while fluid stripes weave through lacquer and gemstones. Nature is no longer a passing inspiration in the realm of jewellery; it becomes the elemental force shaping each distinctive, unforgettable creation.

Cartier

Trust Cartier to channel marine majesty into high jewellery. The Echina necklace from its Nature Sauvage collection pays tribute to the wild beauty of sea urchins in dazzling form. Set in white gold, the piece weaves together carved emeralds, accents of red coral, delicately perforated sapphires and just enough diamond brilliance to leave a lasting impression.

With faceted gemstones that subtly recall Cartier’s 1920s archives, the necklace transforms a nautical theme into something altogether more theatrical. The interplay of structured geometry and organic inspiration offers a fresh, compelling aesthetic.

John Hardy

John Hardy’s Spear collection strikes a refined balance between heritage and innovation. The 14k gold and silver bracelet, set with pavé diamonds, adjusts comfortably to the wrist thanks to its flexible titanium core. Made using time-honoured Balinese weaving techniques, the design brings together precious metals in a richly textured form.

Chaumet

Chaumet’s Bee de Chaumet collection continues to ascend with a series of enchanting additions. At the heart of the release is a honeycomb bracelet in rose gold, lit with brilliant-cut pavé diamonds. More than just a beautiful object, the piece offers a confident, gender-fluid perspective, subtly challenging traditional design codes.

Chanel

At the Oscars, Margaret Qualley channelled theatrical sophistication with a reversible Chanel High Jewellery necklace. Its diamond tassel flowed elegantly down her back, a striking complement to her backless gown. Teamed with the Impression Florale earrings and a trio of bracelets—Étoile Filante, Pluie de Comètes and Ruban—crafted in 18k white gold and diamonds, the look served as a powerful reminder that black, white gold and diamonds never go out of style.

Tiffany & Co.

In March, Michelle Yeoh attended the grand opening of Tiffany & Co.’s Taipei 101 flagship boutique in a celestial ensemble from the Blue Book 2024: Tiffany Céleste collection. Her jewellery was nothing short of spectacular; a necklace with over 75 carats of diamonds, earrings weighing 20 carats, and a bracelet and ring set with centre stones of more than 3 and 5 carats, respectively. It was a cosmic statement, and Yeoh didn’t merely wear it; she owned it.

Bvlgari

At the 2025 Oscars, Selena Gomez brought the sparkle. The centrepiece? A 10.16-carat teardrop diamond on a platinum Bvlgari high jewellery necklace. It was flanked by 18 round brilliant-cut diamonds, 228 step-cut diamonds, and a cascade of pavé stones, evoking the movement of water. With more than 250 diamonds, the piece was a triumph on the red carpet and beyond.

De Beers

At the iHeartRadio Music Awards, Lady Gaga shimmered in De Beers.
