A jewel always tells more than it shows. Behind a stone, a shape or a signature, an era, a culture, a skill, and sometimes the gesture of a creator whose mark transcends time are revealed.
The section Jewellery d’Esprit Joaillerie explores the creation of jewelry in all its forms: Haute Joaillerie, vintage and signature jewelry, contemporary creations, precious stones and colored stones. It is equally interested in the houses and creators as well as the techniques, inspirations and stories that give meaning to the pieces.
From Place Vendôme with the workshops, From archives to today’s creations, Esprit Joaillerie takes a look at jewelry through a lens infused with gemology, art history, and field experience. Watching a jewel is also about learning to read what the stone, the drawing and the hand are telling us.
Gucci's new Haute Joaillerie collection reveals four creative universes: the House revisits the symbols that have shaped its identity and presents them in a jeweler's language where stone, material and the artisanal process take center stage.
A Journey Through Nature thus extends Chaumet's naturalist narrative by moving it towards a more sensory approach. Nature is no longer just a source of inspiration; it becomes an experience, shaped by the artisans' gestures and revealed by the brilliance of the gems.
Depuis les salons de la place Vendôme jusqu'à votre écran, ESPRIT JOAILLERIE vous invite à suivre ces présentations et à découvrir, jour après jour, les pièces de haute joaillerie qui marqueront cette nouvelle saison.
Le Natural Diamond Council consacre un rapport à ces diamants d'exception qui, depuis des siècles, alimentent autant la recherche scientifique que l'histoire de la joaillerie. Certaines pierres ont changé notre compréhension des gisements diamantifères, d'autres sont devenues des symboles de pouvoir ou des objets de fascination. Toutes témoignent de la singularité du diamant.
The collection draws its inspiration from eight major works of art history, spanning centuries, continents, and sensibilities. From Botticelli to Van Gogh, from Caravage to Kandinsky, each becomes the starting point for a jeweled interpretation.
The collection also explores the work of gold, a historic signature of the Maison. In Gold Swirl, the volumes ripple around blue-green tourmalines and fiery opals, while the famous pattern, long reserved for timepieces, makes its debut in the world of Haute Joaillerie.
With three sculptural rings, Piaget Glow extends this dialogue between craftsmanship and everyday use. Here, the jewelry departs from the idea of ceremonial adornment to invest the ordinary gesture, the moving hand, and the proximity of the body.
For this 2026 capsule, the Maison chooses to explore the richness of materials rather than modify the founding codes of the collection. The gesture is subtle but significant. Onyx joins the Serpent Bohème universe for the first time and introduces a new reading of the motif. Its visual density and contained brilliance offer an unexpected counterpoint to the warmth of yellow gold.
Far from being a simple succession of jewels, the collection is organized as a narrative. Each piece contributes to the construction of a setting populated with references dear to Christian Dior: the lush flora, aquatic creatures, celestial phenomena, and those mysterious signs that nourished his imagination.
Through this new chapter of Blue Book 2026, Tiffany & Co. draws on the energy, contrasts, and transformative power of nature. An imaginary garden where every stone seems to have found its season.
Through 718 Marble Marquetry, the architectural legacy of 718 Fifth Avenue finds a new expression. The collection embodies a continuity between space, light, and jewelry creation, accurately translating New York’s identity according to Harry Winston.
For several seasons now, the Maison has been refining a language in which the historical symbols «V», the cord, the Damier, and the Fleur de Monogram leave their identity status to become principles of construction. Mythica takes this logic even further;
Spring is returning, with the subtle impression that everything is getting back into motion. At VAN CLEEF & ARPELS, this season inspires creations that extend this momentum without stagnating it.
Namibia is not done with Messika yet. After Terres d'Instinct and its two consecutive albums, Valérie Messika returns once again to draw from this reservoir of raw images of the night sky dotted with stars, a desert streaked with mysterious circles, ochre lands and a silent wildlife.
There are objects that have survived the century without ever losing their power of fascination. Not because they are old, but because they have been alive, worn, filmed, admired, and desired.
There are evenings that write themselves. The Rue de la Paix in January, the cars slowing down, the glances that turned. In front of the 12, personalities and fashionistas crowded in a barely contained excitement, and the bright, clean, resolutely modern boutique caught everyone’s attention.
For Esprit Joaillerie, the jewel holds a central place in the eye. From haute joaillerie to contemporary creations, from historical pieces to the most current collections, each jewel carries a story of material, creation, and transmission.
However, platinum, silver, diamonds, colored stones: behind each piece lies a choice. The choice of a gem, chosen for its beauty, rarity, or character. The choice of a design, a gesture, and a technique that give it its definitive form: crimping, sizing, and composition.
From the great houses of Place Vendôme to creators who are redefining the codes of contemporary jewelry, this section explores the signatures, styles, and stones that have shaped the history of jewelry. A selection where gemology meets creation, and where each piece of jewelry becomes the starting point of a narrative.
