Reinvented to the tune of a masked ball, the signature cuff bracelet is adorned with a bird-flower by Nelly Saunier, feather artist, Master Artisan, laureate of the Prix de l’Intelligence de la Main (Prize for Intelligent Manual Craftsmanship ) awarded by the Fondation Bettencourt Schueller (G36L9300). A flurry of feathers perched on an airy white gold base, forms a precious bouquet. Turquoise feathers delicately set among feathers shimmering with velvety shades of midnight blue create subtle glazed effects. An emerald placed at the very heart of this spectacular feather marquetry sparkles amid a constellation of sapphires and diamonds.

The equally innovative “secret” ring echoes the enigmatic figures of Venetian celebrations (G34H200). Its sliding cover reveals a magnetic night blue sky crafted in Grand Feu champlevé enamel. Masterfully tamed by an engraver, the matter exudes a luminous sensuality on which the constellation of Leo has been traced.

The artisans of the Manufacture have captured the festive elegance of the city in a dazzling embroidery on the Palazzo ring (G34HF300). Its interlacing red spinel and diamond motifs evoke the flashing camera bulbs on the red carpet of the Venice Film Festival, or the royal box at the Teatro La Fenice.

With their lines inspired by the Byzantine windows of the palazzos lining the Grand Canal, the long earrings with geometrically arranged rubies are entirely in tune with Piaget’s trademark creative boldness (G38M4400). Like an invitation to engage in seductive games, a cuff bracelet adorns the wrist with pink gold embroidery. Its ballet of marquise-cut diamonds showcase the inimitable Piaget expertise, forming rays of light akin to those filtering through the stone bars on the windows of the Bridge of Sighs (G36L9100).
