Piaget’s high jewellery collections have been touring the world, taking us to enchanted and sparkling atmospheres. From Extremely Piaget colour outbursts to Venice and Samarkand in Secrets and Lights, to a Sunny Side of Life celebrating the Californian dream, and the beauty and luxury of the French Riviera of a Mediterranean Garden. Today Piaget brings in the Sun, and it is a Sunlight Journey.
The journey, today, will take us to the Amalfi Coast, that becomes the creative inspiration for radiant, effervescent and dazzling jewels.
A land kissed by the sun, which changing lights and distinctive vibes create unique reflections that are mirrored in the whole collection, thanks also to the use of exceptional gems such as blue sapphires, yellow diamonds and red spinels. A unique journey into an array of mesmerising hues.
Sunlight Journey is a high jewellery collection, of 240 unique creations, that interprets and brings to life the constant change of the sun light, in the magnificent scenery of Amalfi, from dawn to dusk.
A journey that unfolds in three chapters, Secrets of Dawn, Midday Festival and Nightfall Celebration, each dedicated to that specific moment during the day when the sun radiates its light through the brilliance of gold and gemstones.
Secrets of Dawn brings to us the early morning light, with delicate shades of grey, beige and pink. Pink gold, white opals and Paraiba tourmalines translate this in front of our eyes. It is like strolling on the beach, when time is almost suspended in the extreme peace of the sun rising. And eggshell mosaic comes to us to remember of those moments.
Midday Festival translates a stronger sense of light, with stronger colour contrasts – black opals, blue marquise-cut gems, blue feather marquetry, blue sapphires, blue and green mosaics become main protagonists in the collection, and it is really about the deep blue sea and its freshness we all dream of.
