History of the collection Happy Diamonds 

The history of the collection Happy Diamonds is established in the context of the profound mutations and cultural changes of the 1970s. Happy Diamonds were born from the meeting of water and light. It is the lightness and freedom of the spray of a waterfall and the way it reflects the light of day, which will inspire Ronald Kurowski, the designer of the house Chopard, to create the collection. For the first time, the workshops Chopard free diamonds from any setting. “Diamonds are happier when they are free,” says the mother of Caroline Scheufele, the artistic director and co-president of Chopard, when she saw the first finished watch model. It was this sentence that inspired the name of the collection: Happy Diamonds. So, the Happy Diamonds refer to the spirit of the times, emphasizing the idea that what is precious cannot be locked away! The secret is that, for diamonds to be more sparkling than ever, they must be free. 

Did you know that this collection begins with a watch model, technically innovative and creative, reflecting the era? In 1976, to crown the success of the collection, the watch won the prestigious Baden Baden Golden Rose award. Unique, the watches Chopard Happy Diamonds are set with diamonds that can move freely within the watch face, was the goal of the collection. Finding a way to let the diamonds move without scratching the sapphire or onyx in which the stone was set was not an easy task. Each gemstone had to be embedded in a gold water capsule with a beveled bottom to ensure that the jewel would not end up damaged by the movement of the diamonds. 

Since their creation and still today, watches Happy Diamonds are one of the most successful innovations in the history of the House Chopard. Although the collection has evolved, it remains iconic. It is now available in several categories of jewelry such as rings, earrings, necklaces and even braceletsOver time, new collections retaining the diamond spirit have emerged such as Happy Sport, Happy Spirit  or even Happy Hearts, also available on our website 58 facettes.
