This year, high jewellery is coming alive through pieces that move – literally, emotionally and narratively.
This year’s newest collections lean into transformable design, exceptional gemstone storytelling and the kind of craftsmanship that reveals itself in motion: a tiara that shifts shape, a tassel that sways, a necklace that seems to hover in midair.
From maisons mining their archives to those mapping new worlds through colour and form, these debuts prove that high jewellery’s most compelling language is not just brilliance, but intention.
Cartier
For Cartier, harmony is not a mood but a method. The final chapter of En Équilibre refines that discipline: volume balanced against air, colour against restraint. The Euphonia necklace pairs emerald-cut rubies with diamonds in crisp geometry. Splendea arranges 34 perfectly matched diamonds into an uninterrupted ribbon of light. Parcae suspends three pear-shaped Madagascar sapphires in precise equilibrium. In Ondora, chrysoprase and turquoise ripple in an abstract nod to a jellyfish— fluid and quietly mesmerising.
Fred
Force 10 has long embodied the house’s maritime spirit. As Fred approaches its 90th anniversary in 2026, the emblem is magnified through 17 high jewellery creations that lean into scale and light. XL diamond-set buckles gleam. Cables dissolve into cascades. The signature “hero cut”, with its 36 sail-inspired facets, lends architectural precision. The standout? The Force 10 Pompon, where the buckle transforms into diamond tassels that sway with insouciant ease.
Chaumet
With Envol, Chaumet returns to a motif that has defined the maison for more than two centuries: the wing. Reimagined in midnight sapphires and luminous grand feu enamel, the nine creations evoke the pull of the sky, inviting the wearer to ascend. At the heart of the collection is an aigrette tiara engineered to be worn four ways: as a dramatic crown of grand feu enamel and pavé; a pared-back sapphire statement centred on a 3.92-carat Madagascar stone; a striking mask; or separated into brooches. Elsewhere in the collection, a 10.96-carat cushion-cut sapphire anchors a necklace that appears suspended midflight. The message is clear: heritage, anchored— but always ready to soar.
Damiani
With Ode all’Italia, Damiani turns geography into high jewellery. Sardinia’s shores glow in a 46-carat Paraiba tourmaline framed by blush morganites. Tuscany deepens in a 31-carat Colombian emerald of remarkable saturation. Rome rises in Aethernitas, centred on a rare fancy yellow-green diamond. Each piece reads as both postcard and monument—a love letter to its homeland, unmistakably Italian in its sense of theatre.
Harry Winston
When Marilyn Monroe sang “Talk to me, Harry Winston”, she proved that diamonds may be a girl’s best friend—but Winston was the leading man. Chapter three of the Talk to Me high jewellery collection, titled “The Jeweller to the Stars”, revisits that legacy with renewed theatricality. A ruby and diamond suite leads the charge: rows of vivid rubies anchor marquise- and pearshaped diamonds in graduated descent, creating the illusion of endless strands of light. With more than 10 carats of rubies and 21 carats of diamonds extending into the bracelet, it is designed not merely to adorn, but to perform—and Winston has always understood the value of a spotlight.
