You can't go wrong with classic watches like the Cartier Tank created in 1917. But if you want something special, then Tank Louis Cartier is a typical Tank. The size of 33.7mm x 25.5mm provides rich dark blue or red rose gold and gold styles respectively, which is the perfect elegant size for any gender. I like details such as Roman numerals and golden tracks. They add visual interest and enhance the graphic intensity of the dial.
The 30.5mm x 30.5mm cushion watch series inspired by the 1960s features a rose gold, lapis lazuli or malachite dial and a diamond-encrusted bezel. Each piece uses an ethical platinum or rose gold case with a matching gold bark bracelet or crocodile leather strap.
Diamonds of more than 3 carats and white mother-of-pearl hour markers add brilliance to this extremely feminine watch. This 36.5mm x 28.45mm watch is available in white gold with a blue leather strap and rose gold with an orange strap, as shown in the picture.
The new 37 mm model comes in rose gold (left) with yellow sapphires, red garnets, orange spessartines and diamonds, and white gold models with pink sapphires, rubies and diamonds. Each model uses a guilloché dial with a new beige or gray tone.
The rose on the hollow dial of this 32mm x 26.75mm model is hand-painted, and it also functions as a bridge and a splint. The rose gold or white gold case is paired with a diamond-encrusted bezel, and the romantic "bouquet" is available in various shades such as red, purple, pink or blue here.
The new series of 34.9 mm watches feature a red or white gold case and seven strap colors, with a white mother-of-pearl dial, and 59 diamonds weighing up to 2 carats inlaid on the bezel, lugs and crown.
In addition to the rose gold version, the Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle Complete Calendar is now available in a 41 mm platinum version with a modern velvet panel slate gray dial. Unlike the standard triple calendar, its date and month indicators are located near the edge of the dial instead of near the center, while the date on the outer ring is carefully indicated by a crescent-shaped central hand. This arrangement makes room for the precise age and moon phase on the lower part of the dial. It is powered by the Calibre 2460 QCL/1, has a 40-hour power reserve, and-in addition to its triple calendar indicator-drives a precise moon phase, requiring only one correction every 122 years.
The Hermès Arceau Wild Singapore watch reinterprets Alice Shirley's scarves of the same name to commemorate the incredible biodiversity of our country. The center stage of this limited edition watch of 24 pieces numbered 41 mm is an imperial lion guarding the island. The miniature painting combined with gold wire welding depicts a big cat in a tropical environment. Apply varnish and transfer the pattern to the gold base, and then draw the elements that will appear under and around the gold line. Then craftsmen assemble multiple threads three times thinner than human hair on the dial to add depth. Before the hole is hollowed out to accommodate the end, the start and end of each thread must be determined. Then pour the gold into the connection points to fuse them.
Reverso Tribute Enamel Hidden Treasures are three watches that show three watershed paintings of key movements in Western art, from Courbet’s 19th-century realism to Van Gogh’s post-impressionism, to Klimt’s experimental spirit and Vienna Secessionist. Also marking the 90th anniversary of Reverso's founding, the new work combines three distinct handicrafts used in the manufacturing process: Grand Feu enamel, miniature painting and guilloche. The iconic simplicity of the watch dial enhances the subtle beauty of the guilloche decoration. Each dial uses a different hazy blue or green hue, suggesting the tones of the hidden painting on the back, while its restrained design contrasts sharply with the rich details of the miniature artwork. Driven by the manual winding 822/2 movement, each watch is limited to 10 pieces.
If you are looking for a luxurious piece, this gorgeous Graff necklace is composed of 26.45 carats of heart-shaped emeralds and 77.19 carats of multi-shaped diamonds. It is the perfect choice.
Napoleon’s Royal Bee logo takes a place on the hexagonal graphics in the new rose gold medal, enriching the Bee My Love collection. It looks like a pendant and is perfect for pairing with other items in the iconic collection (such as the bracelet shown in the picture).
The brand's 2021 limited edition Vintage Alhambra pendant made its debut, presenting a soft pink rose stone. The exquisite beaded rose gold frame adds the finishing touch to the mineral, and its light brown inclusions and subtle white crystals give each piece its unique personality. For a more meaningful gift, please engrave your name, date or message on the back of the pendant to personalize it.
The brand's Star Blossom jewelry collection now launches a series of white gold and diamond pendants, earrings, bracelets and rings, which can be worn individually, stacked or combined. The center of each Monogram Flower pattern is inlaid with a platinum nail, reminiscent of the brand's trunk-making tradition.
Looking for a very modern ring? The Tiffany Jewel Box gold ring is made of tanzanite or pink tourmaline, which meets the requirements. Each stone is hung in a golden frame like a work of art, showing the extraordinary majesty, and people can't help but marvel at the beauty of nature.
Bvlgari features the iconic fan-shaped pattern of the series, enriching the Divas' Dream high-end jewelry collection with new colors and iterations. Rose gold and pink opal are paired with a touch of diamonds to create a charming set of earrings and necklaces. For more bold tastes, there are also rose gold rings and necklaces set with diamonds and charming carnelian. However, if you want to be glamorous, choose an exquisite rose gold necklace with pendants that show off vivid malachite inserts and emphasized by a diamond-encrusted hollow design. Environmentally conscious people will be happy to know that all Bulgari high-end jewellery and watches are now in plastic-free packaging.
Piaget's Possession Contrast capsule series incorporates bold shapes and new materials. For the first time, black and white ceramics are introduced in the Possession series, which shakes up the classic elements of the brand. The collection includes three new diamond-encrusted rings-two in rose gold with white ceramic, and one in white gold with black ceramic-as well as a chic bracelet in white gold with diamonds and black ceramic. Thanks to the beveled edges on the ring and the flat tops at both ends of the open bracelet, adding a punk-style atmosphere, these works have a distinct futuristic appearance. In addition, each ring has a rotating band with a ceramic square cut pattern, giving the jewelry an urban beauty.
I am of Javanese descent, and I like to wear items that highlight my culture, not only during festivals, but also in my daily wardrobe. I came across this brand, and it created the most beautiful pieces that pay tribute to Indonesia and its rich and diverse culture. This necklace depicts the region of Nusantara (the name of the Indonesian archipelago) and is part of the Bumi Manusia collection, named after the epic literary work of Pramoedya Ananta Toer. All the designs of the brand are created by craftsmen-most of them are women-and it ticked me in terms of meaningful and ethical jewelry. — Nafisa Saini
The Elsa Peretti Bone Cuff bracelet is still fashionable and modern 50 years after its debut, and the chic and very modern bracelet proves the creative genius of the late designer. Its sensual curves, excellent asymmetry and ergonomic quality mean that I will never tire of looking at it. I am in awe of how the organic aesthetics of a piece of jewellery express its power so easily. This ingenious bracelet is designed to fit the left or right wrist (left wrist) and is a must-have in any jewelry collection.
