Paloma Picasso once said. And the daughter of the famous artist Pablo Picasso knows what she’s talking about. After all, the Spanish-French designer created numerous cult designs for the New York luxury jeweler Tiffany & Co. Emotions and unforgettable memories – sounds exactly like what we wish for at Christmas! Whether your loved ones or you yourself place a selected piece of jewelry under the Christmas tree – we have compiled our twelve favorites for you.
“Love Unlimited” Bracelet by Cartier
Designed in 1969, the “Love” collection by Cartier not only symbolizes the unique design vision of the French luxury jeweler but has long since evolved into a love symbol with cult status. With “Love Unlimited,” the house now presents a new, versatile, and for the first time, movable interpretation.
“Bird on a Rock by Tiffany” Earrings by Tiffany & Co.
Inspired by the craftsmanship of the original “Bird on a Rock” brooch by Jean Schlumberger, Tiffany & Co. achieves a stroke of genius with the pieces from the “Bird on a Rock – Wings” collection. The collection picks up on the symbol of love and optimism but presents itself in a much more sculptural way.
First presented in 2006, the “Magic Alhambra” collection by Van Cleef & Arpels plays with the universal symbol of luck, the four-leaf clover. The highlight: In addition to the iconic design, the transformability of the pieces also pays tribute to the impressive history of the French Maison.
“Première Galon” Bracelet Watch by Chanel
Inspired by the house’s design codes, Chanel presented its first ladies’ bracelet watch in 1987. Its name: “Première”! The “Galon” bracelet, reminiscent of Haute Couture, now turns the classic into a modern interpretation of the jewelry watch.
“Move Classique Ciselé” Bracelet by Messika
This year, the French Maison Messika presents its cult design for the first time in chiseled gold, paying brilliant tribute not only to its icon “Move” but also to the traditional goldsmithing craft.
“Bvlgari Tubogas” Necklace by Bulgari
In what is probably the most beautiful homage to the jeweler’s art of the Roman Maison Bulgari, the past meets the future, and unadorned industrial design meets the most precious precious metal. The flexible “Tubogas” gold spirals, inspired by gas pipes, give watch icons like the “Serpenti” their unmistakable look and now step into the spotlight themselves.
“Schleife” Chain Bracelet by Pandora
To beautifully complete your own look? No problem with the bow bracelet from Pandora. The bracelet made of sterling silver is set with clear cubic zirconia and competes with the Christmas lights.
“Link” Bracelet by Bucherer Fine Jewellery
Distinctive and timeless, the “Link” collection by Bucherer Fine Jewellery combines strength and flowing forms and gives the classic link design an unexpected modernity. Our favorite combines yellow gold links with the timeless look of a rivière bracelet.
“Rolex Oyster Perpetual” by Rolex
It is a true icon and seems like the quintessence of the Swiss luxury watch manufacturer Rolex. Understated in design, precise in its function, and dedicated to the pursuit of excellence – the “Oyster,” launched in 1926, made history early on and has never lost its desirability.
“Nudo” Earrings by Pomellato
The Milanese jewelry label Pomellato gives its iconic “Nudo” design a new look. In addition to the “naked” gemstones, diamond-set white gold cushions adorn the designs, reminiscent of the shape of classic “Toi et Moi” rings.
“La D de Dior” by Dior
On the market since 2003, “La D de Dior” with its clean lines and two reduced hands is considered an iconic jewelry watch design by Victoire de Castellane for Dior. This season, the models present themselves unusually graphically and reinterpret the emblematic Cannage motif.
