SUSTAINABLE JEWELLERY: SARAH HO
The eponymous jeweller Sarah Ho—who is fresh from opening her first boutique in Monaco—was creating sustainable jewels long before sustainability became a thing. This statement ring features aquamarine, blue topaz, pearls and diamonds that a client no longer wore, now gorgeously revamped in cool, white ceramic. POA
HAUTE JOAILLERIE: CHAUMET
The Chaumet en scène high jewellery collection celebrates music, dance and magic, as embodied by this gorgeous suite inspired by tango—and captures magnificent movement and energy via zingy twirls of rubellite and tourmalines. POA
ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION: TIFFANY & CO.
It’s been 50 years since the legendary designer Elsa Peretti joined Tiffany & Co., and the New York house is marking the occasion with fabulous jewels like this sublime Split ring. Playing off Peretti’s iconic Bone cuff, the split can be worn either up or down. €4,900.
FANCY CUTS: GRAFF
Kite shapes are having a moment, and taking the trend to new heights is this gorgeous Graff cuff set with a 6.02 ct Colombian emerald kite that slices through rows of baguette-cut emeralds and diamonds, creating an almost levitating look. POA
SPORTING CHIC: CHANEL
Monaco hosted a Chanel takeover last month for the launch of its latest high jewellery collection themed around sport (yes, really). Only the Parisian house could make sportif look so chic and so Chanel, like this fabulous Sporty 5 Collector brooch with red and black lacquer accents. POA
FLORAL BLOOMS: VAN CLEEF & ARPELS
These daisy-themed Pâquerette rings parley with Van Cleef & Arpels’ expertise in hard stone jewels, which bloom in delightful pairings: intense blue agate touched by mother-of-pearl (€6,200) or turquoise surrounded by coral petals (€8,560).
ANIMAL MAGIC: CARTIER
Animals both abstract and figurative prowl through Cartier’s latest high jewellery collection, Nature Sauvage, which frames creatures in unexpected encounters, like this spectacular Panthère Jaillissante ring-bracelet hand jewel that’s topped with a 8.63 ct Zambian emerald. POA
JEWELLERY MASTERPIECE: OLE LYNGGAARD
Ole Lynggaard’s fabulous BoHo bracelet is a masterclass in dimension and contrast—yellow versus rose gold, satin versus polished finishes, 392 diamonds of 33 different sizes—all set in an ultra-cool, 3D-like structure. €85,900

The Japanese jeweller Tasaki had a strong presence at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, with Kelly Rowland wearing a full suite of jewels that included a magnificent, lace-style Corset necklace and diamond pave rings. POA

Chopard is by far the fave jeweller of the Cannes Film Festival, its pieces worn by the likes of festival jury member Greta Gerwig to actress Catrinel Marlon, who donned these stunning new rubellite butterfly earrings in May. POA
SHOULDER JEWEL: BOUCHERON
Iceland’s raw, elemental beauty was the inspiration for Boucheron’s latest high jewellery collection, which captured the essence of powerful, gushing waterfalls in this splendid Givre shoulder brooch cascading with pearls, diamonds and mother-of-pearl. POA
