From Chanel, Chopard to Piaget, these top-of-the-line jewellery pieces definitely will elevate your appearance.

Chanel

It’s the 100th anniversary of the iconic N°5 perfume and Patrice Leguéreau has just the present to celebrate the milestone. The Chanel Fine Jewelry Creation Studio director has crafted over a hundred stunning haute joaillerie pieces for Collection N°5 and they include this Golden Sillage bracelet in yellow gold and platinum with yellow sapphires, spessartite garnets and diamonds.

Chopard

Everything in Chopard’s Red Carpet collection is literally breathtaking—one does not simply enumerate the components in each piece without gasping for air. This cuff bracelet, for one, features Mandarin garnets, Paraiba tourmalines, pastel sapphires, white opals, pink quartz, tsavorites, tanzanites, kunzite, amethysts, aquamarines, beryls, topaz, citrines, rubies, tourmalines and diamonds.

De Beers

Untamed nature serves as the backdrop for De Beers’ Reflections of Nature high jewellery range. Capturing the maze of waterways, floodplains and islands of Botswana’s Okavango Delta, the Okavango Grace creations, particularly these climber earrings, boast rough and polished diamonds in a true-to-life colour scheme of green, pink, brownish pink, purple and grey.

Dior

A decade has passed since Victoire de Castellane came out with her lush Bal des Roses collection. Now, once again paying a tribute to Christian Dior and his favourite flower, the creative director introduces the sparkling new RoseDior range, which brings forth a slew of exquisite designs such as these RoseDior earrings in textured yellow gold with diamonds.

Gucci

The oh-so whimsical garden at Gucci continues to grow with the expansion of the Hortus Deliciarum high jewellery collection. Echoing the eclectic quixotism of creative director Alessandro Michele’s kaleidoscopic universe, the new batch is inspired by the mesmeric hues of the sky at various times of the day which is perfectly illustrated by this classic cocktail ring.

Louis Vuitton

Diving deeper into its past, Louis Vuitton takes its devotees back to the very beginning—when its founder embarked on that journey across France to realise his dreams—for the Bravery high jewellery assortment. The Arrow ring cleverly narrates this account, serving as a metaphor for his odyssey and a literal interpretation of his legacy with the incorporation of the emblematic V motif.

Hermès

An icon at Hermès has received the ultimate star treatment with the brand’s latest jewellery entry. The Kellymorphose line, just as its name suggests, takes after the legendary Kelly bag defined by a strong and assertive form, side straps, clasp, padlock and key-holder—elements that are present in the pieces under the banner notably this Kelly Gavroche necklace.

Piaget

Where there’s darkness, there’s light. Promising to illuminate even in the bleakest of nights, Piaget’s Extraordinary Lights high jewellery pieces are imbued with the most spectacular light phenomenon. The Magical Aurora necklace, for instance, is bound to set the sky ablaze with the verdant hue of its emeralds and the unparalleled sparkle of its diamonds.

Springtime stretches all year long at Habib and the blossoming of The Bouquet in the fall season shows us just that. This stunning frangipani-inspired brooch, handcrafted in a restful combination of 18k rose and white gold, exudes the feeling of unfiltered femininity as the pink petals unfurl under the morning sun and unveil 391 pieces of brilliant-cut diamonds.

Tiffany & Co.

Nature’s most vivid chromatic displays are turned into mesmerising works of art at Tiffany & Co. as the jeweller releases its 2021 Blue Book collection. Themed Colours of Nature, the new roster is brimming with one-of-a-kind masterworks including this delicate butterfly brooch in 18k yellow gold peppered with purple sapphires and dazzling diamonds.

Over the years, Habib has established its Diamond Festival as an annual spectacle that sets the benchmark for the local jewellery industry.

This year, however, the group signalled a turn in the tides as it introduced its first-ever Gem Festival. Habib had occupied the centre court of Putrajaya’s IOI City Mall and put on display over 1,000 pieces of precious gemstones jewellery from the many brands under its wings including Hearts On Fire and Stephen Webster.

And as we join the festival, we took the chance to sit down with the man behind this ingenious project, Dato’ Sri Meer Sadik Habib, the managing director of Habib Jewels for a chat about jewels, his plans for the company and more:

What’s unique about Gem Festival and how does it differ from the previous Diamond Festivals?

Firstly, people buy jewellery for two reasons: investment and adornment. Gold and diamond jewellery has been very popular among buyers and has the value of an investment. Gemstones, on the other hand, have always been there but they haven’t been so exposed to Malaysians.

We’ve done a lot of research on this and we found that gemstones are becoming very popular and it’s becoming a trend going into 2020. People are no longer looking for only investment pieces; they also look at the trends.

How do you see the people’s perception of gemstones with regards to their investment value?

Gemstones may or may not be a good investment but people aren’t worried about that anymore. That said, real gemstones do have value and they are certainly better than costume jewellery. That’s why we’re exposing our customers to all these different gemstones — spinel, tanzanite Paraiba.

And some of these Paraiba stones are even more expensive than diamonds.

What’s a normal starting point for customer relationship? Is it always bridal?

We have a collection called My First Habib, which carries trendy jewellery items for young women. The alphabet pendant is one of the most popular pieces; it comes with a chain and an alphabet with diamonds, and it’s offered at a competitive price. So, it’s not necessarily bridal; it can start anywhere.

What can we expect from Habib in 2020?

You can expect a lot of different gemstones coming out in the next few months — new collections – and Habib is also working with all kinds of different stone cuts and fantastic designs that I can’t disclose just yet.
