Colourful BRILLIANCE

Garrard offers a blazing collection of jewels that ignites a riot of colour and is the perfect Valentine’s gift.

British luxury designer House of Garrard has a bold fine jewellery collection named Blaze – designed to ignite a riot of colour and set the world alight. The creations are the eyecatching element to add a touch of uniqueness to daring ladies’ looks. A great Valentine’s present for fearless and confident women. The Blaze campaign stars British actress Olivia Cooke as Garrard’s brand ambassador. Blaze is an interpretation of Garrard’s iconic 1735 collection and has been inspired by Princess Diana’s engagement ring, which Catherine, Princess of Wales, now wears.

Founded in 1735 in London’s West End by master silversmith George Wicks, Garrard received its first royal commission from Frederick, Prince of Wales, in the same year. Appointed the first official Crown Jeweller in 1843, the brand has proudly played a part in British history ever since, creating jewels that have captured imaginations throughout the world. An inspired interpretation of the 1735 collection, the Blaze collection masterfully inverts the classical Garrard cluster motif. The collection showcases several eclectic combinations of faceted and cabochon gemstones combined in an electrifying synergy of colour and texture. Colourful gemstones are spotlighted throughout the set, from blue sapphire and green tourmaline to mother-of-pearl and pink opal in various sizes and shapes. They are set exquisitely amongst diamonds in contemporary designs that include cocktail rings, pendants, hoop earrings, ear jackets, band rings, bracelets and necklaces. Choose your favourite colour and embellish your elegant look. The standout pieces include a Blaze blue sapphire, tanzanite, aquamarine, blue topaz and turquoise cocktail ring. A set of Blaze white diamond, white opal, white agate and white mother-of-pearl ear jackets. A beautiful Blaze green sapphire, green tourmaline, tsavorite and chrysoprase pendant, and a set of Blaze pink sapphire, rubellite and pink opal hoop earrings.

Kaleidoscope Dream

Patek Philippe unveils its first ladies’ self-winding chronograph with captivating gemstones.

Swiss luxury watchmaker Patek Philippe, as a testament to its rich tradition and craftsmanship, has extended its feminine line with the first ladies’ timepiece featuring a self-winding chronograph movement – the Aquanaut Luce “Rainbow”.

Since its launch in 2004, the contemporary casual chic Aquanaut Luce collection has successfully wooed women who appreciate a unique style and elegance for any occasion.

The Aquanaut Luce “Rainbow” chronograph comes in an 18-carat rose gold case and features an octagonal bezel that has been adorned with two rows of baguette-cut gems that have been mounted with an invisible setting technique using metal rails. The inner row consists of 40 flawless rare white Top Wesselton diamonds, while the outer row, which is slightly angled, sports 40 sapphires in the colours of the rainbow, each carefully hand-picked to form a perfect gradient. The case has a diameter of 39.9mm.

The dial is mother-of-pearl engraved with the signature Aquanaut motif and features Applied Arabic numerals in 18-carat rose gold hour markers set with baguette-cut sapphires in a gradient that matches the bezel. Luminous baton hands in rose gold make the hours and minutes quickly and easily legible.

The two chronograph pushers are manually polished and satinfinished by the manufacturer’s artisans. In full compliance with the directives of the Patek Philippe Seal, the calibre CH 28-520 movement is also elaborately finished and can be admired through the sapphire crystal case back.

The Aquanaut Luce “Rainbow” combines spirited sporty looks and the jeweller’s exceptional watchmaking skills. The timepiece is available in three ultra-resistant composite straps elegantly coloured in red, matte beige and matte white.
