At Chez Piaget, Color is not an effect; it is a culture. A way of approaching creation, of thinking about material and of making the stones interact with gold for several decades now. With Colours of Extraleganza, The Maison signs the final act of its Haute Joaillerie trilogy dedicated to Extraleganza and presents a collection where color becomes both a subject, a structure and an emotion.
After Essence of Extraleganza in 2024 and then Shapes of Extraleganza In 2025, this new chapter brings together sixty-five creations that extend the free and creative spirit of the 1960s and 1970s, a foundational period in the aesthetic history of Piaget. A time when the boundaries between jewelry, design, art, and horology seemed to fade in favor of a more instinctive, bolder language.
This freedom is found in every composition. The precious and ornamental stones are chosen for their chromatic personality as well as for their rarity. Deep blues meet lagoon greens, the reflections of opals dialogue with the nuances of mother-of-pearl, while the tiger’s eye brings its warm vibrations to constructions of engraved gold. Color is never used as an accent: it becomes a full-fledged material. Among the emblematic ensembles, the necklace Blue Illusions It sums up this approach in itself. A Madagascar sapphire, a Paraíba tourmaline and a black opal make up a moving landscape where the nuances seem to transform with every movement. The jewelry’s architecture, dotted with diamonds, sapphires and baguette tourmalines, plays with perception and creates a light in constant motion.
Another tribute to the history of the House, Flamboyant Links Revisiting the watch pendant launched in 1969. Here, the rose gold links intertwine with the tiger eye in a transformable composition that can be worn as a necklace, choker or bracelet-watch. A creation that reminds us of how Piaget It has always cultivated the dialogue between jewelry and horology.
The collection also explores the work of gold, a historic signature of the House. In Gold Swirl, volumes ripple around in shades of blue-green tourmalines and fiery opals, while the famous guilloché pattern, long reserved for timepieces, makes its debut in the world of Haute Joaillerie. Gold acts as an additional color, capable of bringing rhythm, relief, and depth. With Gems Pop, Finally, Piaget It evokes the graphic style of the 1980s. The tangerine, pink and white hues combine in asymmetrical compositions where the stones seem to float between art and design. A subtle evocation of the Memphis movement, whose color was the main manifesto.
Through Colours of Extraleganza, Piaget The Maison not only celebrates the richness of its palette. The House recalls that color has been an integral part of its identity since the invention of the extra-flat caliber in 1957, which paved the way for the use of decorative stones on the dials. This story continues today in a new form, where every nuance becomes an expression of style.
