There’s something about this brooch that makes it hard to look away. The Boulder opal has such beautiful colours and the cameo design gives it a character of its own. Created by Marcus & Co. around 1915, it’s a lovely example of how jewellery from another era could be both artistic and elegant. I especially love how the natural patterns in the opal make the whole piece feel unique. Some designs really do stand the test of time.

I honestly can't get over how unusual this piece is. Made around 1602, this sea unicorn drinking vessel combines a beautifully iridescent shell with such detailed silver-gilt work. It's the kind of object that makes you wonder how much creativity and craftsmanship went into everyday luxury items centuries ago. It almost looks like something straight out of a fantasy world.

The Maharani of Baroda’s Emerald Parure: A Royal Treasure

In the glittering world of mid century High Jewellery, few figures embodied extravagance quite like Sita Devi, Maharani of Baroda, whose passion for Parisian jewels shaped one of the most remarkable collections of her time.

A devoted client of Van Cleef & Arpels, Sita Devi assembled more than 300 precious jewels and objets d’art, favouring the transformation of traditional Indian ornaments into strikingly modern creations.

Crafted entirely from gemstones belonging to the Royal Treasury of Baroda, the necklace features 13 pear shaped Colombian emeralds weighing over 150 carats in total.

At its heart, a blossoming lotus emerges from a floral garland of emeralds and diamonds, its sculptural leaves and petals evoking the vibrant movement of nature.

CARTIER’S PANTHER: THE ART OF PREDATORY LUXURY

Few emblems in the history of high jewellery possess the magnetic power of Cartier’s Panther.

More than a motif, it is a symbol of independence, seduction and untamed elegance a creature forever poised between grace and danger.

Its story began to unfold in the early 20th century, reaching a defining moment in 1914, when Cartier introduced the panther’s distinctive spotted pattern in a wristwatch design.

Under the visionary influence of Jeanne Toussaint, known as La Panthère, the feline evolved into one of the Maison’s most enduring icons.

Sculpted in gold, illuminated by diamonds and brought to life with emeralds, Cartier’s panthers embody the boldest expression of the Animalier aesthetic.

Their piercing gaze, sinuous silhouettes and predatory sensuality transform precious materials into living sculpture.

These are not jewels designed merely to adorn.

They command attention, project power and celebrate a rare form of femininity instinctive, fearless and unapologetically extravagant.

At the highest echelons of collecting, exceptional panther creations can reach hundreds of thousands or even millions of euros, depending on their rarity, provenance and craftsmanship.

The combination of deep green emeralds and sparkling diamonds is just beautiful. And that little dangling detail in the center makes the whole necklace even more special. I love how elegant it looks without being over the top.

THE FLAMINGO THAT BECAME A LEGEND

Paris, 1940: In the hands of Cartier, a creature of the tropics became one of the most audacious jewels of the 20th century.

Created as a special commission for Wallis Simpson, Duchess of #Windsor, the Cartier Flamingo Brooch was conceived under the creative direction of Jeanne Toussaint, with the design attributed to Peter Lemarchand.

Its extravagant silhouette captures the bird in motion, its articulated legs adding an almost surreal sense of life.

Its plumage is a kaleidoscope of colour: 42 calibré cut rubies, 42 sapphires and 42 emeralds, accompanied by 102 diamonds.

A cabochon citrine forms the beak, while sapphire cabochons create the eye and further details.

But the story is even more extraordinary.

Many of the stones were supplied by the Duke and Duchess themselves, dismantled from pieces already in the Duchess’s collection including a necklace and four bracelets and reborn as something entirely new.

Delivered just days before the Windsors left Paris ahead of the German invasion, the Flamingo soon became part of Wallis Simpson’s unmistakable visual identity.

She was photographed wearing it in Madrid on 23 June 1940.

Not merely jewellery.
