Julien-Loïc Garin has a penchant for mixing reality with fantasy, a characteristic he reflects in his fine jewellery, which is genderless and easy to wear no matter the occasion. There are many inspirational touchstones for his The Collection by JLG designs, including history and architecture, both of which are evident in the Splash ring, which shares aesthetic properties with a suit of armour. Hand-brushed and polished 18-karat yellow gold is set with a spatter of stones, including a salt-and-pepper diamond, which has inclusions that appear black and white.

“Jewels are more than my love and my life; they are an insatiable obsession,” Harry Winston once famously declared. The New York-based designer’s enduring commitment to sourcing and working with the world’s most exceptional gemstones has motivated the maison’s newest 39-piece line, appropriately titled Winston With Love. Separated into four chapters—L for light; O for Obsession; V for Vow; and E for Eternity—these creations come dripping with diamonds, rubies and coloured sapphires, which are cleverly used to evoke a sense of fantasy and wonder.

Fawaz Gruosi

Unlike some of the big jewellery houses that are doing stiff shapes dripping in diamonds, Fawaz Gruosi embraces movement and colour with the use of pink opals, sapphires and amethyst. Many of the gemstones featured in the new Colorissima collection were also chosen to bring back childhood memories of snacking on sugared almonds and soft caramels.

“When I was younger, I remember being fascinated by the colours that surrounded me, as if they were trying to communicate something deeper,” says Fawaz Gruosi, who was previously founder and creative director of luxury Swiss jeweller De Grisogono. “With these jewels, I wanted to explore the way that colour and emotions work in harmony”.

The brainchild of Francesca Amfitheatrof, artistic director for jewellery and watches, the 90-piece Bravery is Louis Vuitton’s newest high jewellery collection, which is inspired by the French luxury house’s formidable founder. Comprising eight chapters that document Vuitton’s life, Bravery includes the La Flêche necklace, made using rows of platinum, yellow and white gold which are entirely pavé-set with diamonds and Colombian emeralds to depict Vuitton’s journey from the Jura mountains to Paris.

“I was surprised that a fashion house like Louis Vuitton was created through the sheer courage of one young man,” says Amfitheatrof. “Driven by his curiosity about the world, he embarked on that incredible journey across France. That’s why we have named this collection Bravery. It’s not a word often used in high jewellery, yet these notions of determination and adventure are intrinsic to Louis Vuitton, and we wanted to express them through this collection.”
