Cascading feather-light turquoise beads sculpt the infinite beauty of the sky on a woman’s skin (G37M6900). In tune with the creative boldness cherished by Piaget, the radiant turquoise blue hard stones strike a fine contrast with emerald-heart flowers. Embodying original signature ways of wearing such adornments, the subtle asymmetry of the necklace accentuates its perfect harmony.

Like their predecessors who brought back the rarest gems from Samarkand, the gemologists from the Maison travel the world to discover the gems destined to become captivating central stones, such as this four-leaved flower-ring featuring highly original shapes highlighted by a splendid Colombian emerald (G34HH300). Magnified by a play on cuts and settings calling for hundreds of hours at the workbench, sapphires from Sri Lanka, rubies from Mozambique and exceptional diamonds conjure up the splendour of the mosaic motifs adorning the medersas of the Registan.

A flowing bracelet echoing their enchanting arabesques and punctuated by turquoises illustrates the excellence of the Manufacture in gold craftsmanship (G36M2200). This noble metal favoured by Piaget and delicately chased using gestures akin to those of Haute Couture is thus transformed into a jewellery sculpture every bit as supple as a precious fabric.

Featured for more than half a century in creations by the Maison, prong-set marquise-cut stones light up an airy necklace (G37M6100). The marquise cut that has become a Piaget signature is skilfully tapered here to make the light vibrate at the heart of each diamond, forming a scintillating lacework extended by a magnificent pear-cut diamond. Specially designed by the Maison, the scrolling, cascading diamond motifs punctuated by sapphires form hypnotic ear pendants (G38M5200). They dance in step with every move of the woman they adorn, exquisitely marrying the aesthetic power of oriental art with the gentleness of a caress.
