While Paris Fashion Week was highly anticipated for its runway moments, it also kept its promises on the jewellery front. Between reimagined archives and bold creative impulses, today’s jewels no longer seek only to dazzle with their gemstones, they captivate through the strength of their lines and sculptural allure.
Airy blossoms at Van Cleef & Arpels
At first glance, the Flowerlace collection draws on nature for inspiration — yet it also leads us deep into the Maison’s archives. The design of these new creations nods to the Silhouette clips, crafted by Van Cleef & Arpels in the late 1930s. From that Art Deco era, we rediscover the idea of depicting flowers in a stylised way, here traced in gold threads outlining the contours of an openwork corolla in motion. Comprising five pieces — including an Entre les Doigts ring and a transformable pendant clip — the collection charms with its lightness and obvious grace.

Sensual spirals from Bvlgari
Designed to be mixed and layered, Bvlgari’s latest creations reinterpret the codes of its iconic Tubogas design. Inspired by the flexible metal tubing originally made to transport gas under pressure, this distinctive style wraps two gold bands together to create a seamless ribbon, a luminous serpent that slips effortlessly along the skin.
Among the standout pieces : a pair of yellow gold hoops that mischievously catch the light, and powerful, sensual rings whose volume and curves leave no one indifferent.

A new love link by Cartier
Born in New York in 1969 from the imagination of designer Aldo Cipullo, the LOVE bracelet bridged the worlds of hardware and high jewellery, becoming a unisex symbol of relaxed luxury. To reinvent this legend, Cartier chose flexibility, a bold counterpoint to the original’s rigidity.
Its fluted links punctuated with screws articulate fluidly, offering a unique second-skin experience. And of course, a new bracelet means a new clasp : the LOVE Unlimited slides on and off with one hand, thanks to its invisible fastening system. The new gesture of a liberated love ?

Light and shadow play at Hermès
With its latest high jewellery collection, Hermès turns convention on its head. Instead of focusing on the brilliance and fire of gemstones, Pierre Hardy, the Maison’s jewellery creative director, explores shadows, how they echo the jewel, like an immaterial reflection that responds to it.
Depending on how the stones filter the light, the shadows deepen, soften, or colour themselves, like this white gold necklace set with a 3-carat cushion-cut yellow diamond, baguette-cut diamonds, and its shadow rendered in a gradient of blue sapphires. These delicate half-tones distil a refined, poetic sense of preciousness.

Sand and gold in harmony at Boucheron
Quatre, in all its splendour, that’s the spirit behind Boucheron’s new capsule collection. True to its reputation, the Maison at 26 Place Vendôme continues to explore new materials – this time, 3D-printed sand – to twist its icon while embracing bold, unrestrained volume.
Carved with graphic lines and a maximalist aesthetic, the Quatre Sand Cuff creations alternate between brushed gold bangles and reimagined Clous de Paris motifs in a striking palette of black and magnetic gold.

An Italian garden at Mellerio
This season, Laure-Isabelle Mellerio invites us on an inspired stroll through the gardens of the Renaissance, where nature blooms with lavish abundance. The pendant, a hallmark jewel of the era, offers the perfect canvas for her creativity.
Echoing this opulent spirit, the Bellezza Giardino pendant retains generous volumes and distinctive allure, enhanced with an 18-carat yellow gold woven chain. The brooch, meanwhile, features a gold vine with engraved leaves winding through a majestic setting, where turquoise reflections of tourmalines meet the deep green of emeralds and the vivid pink of sapphires. As a final nod to history, baroque pearls prove their modernity, bringing the perfect rhythm to the piece.

Pearls with personality : M/G for TASAKI
With Disc Pearl, Franco-Greek designer Mélanie Georgacopoulos continues her reinvention of the pearl in collaboration with TASAKI, this time exploring its origin, the pearl oyster. The shell becomes a jewelled motif, stylised as mirror-polished rose gold discs resembling graphic shields that embrace the South Sea pearl.
Available as sculptural rings, statement earrings and adjustable pendants with a clever slider system, the collection ticks all the boxes of modern jewellery design.
