Piaget launches chapter two of the Solstice High Jewellery Collection

Piaget has launched the second instalment of its Solstice High Jewellery Collection, following the launch of the first chapter which was inspired by Haute Couture gowns.

The collection comprises cocktail rings which include decorations that open to free the centre gem which can then be worn as a solitaire.

To reproduce the volume, colours and textures of the cocktails’ ingredients, the Piaget ateliers and their craftsmen worked for months to create the pieces.

Across the world, gemologists looked for the stones that could stand in for grenadine (pink sapphires), mint leaves (emeralds), sprinkled sugar (diamonds paved mounting), ice cubes (rough diamonds), or slices of lime (sculpted peridot)

The fruit slices were sculpted by hand by glyptic masters, and Piaget said precision was needed for the diamonds and metal slice covering the fruit to fit “perfectly”.

Additionally, the Audacious Savor necklace combines natural brown diamonds with sugarloaf spessartite and brilliant-cut diamonds.

Inspired by the colours of a dark-brown liquor, the square-shaped gold structures are set with diamonds and replicate the shape of ice cubes in a glass.
