Fine jewelry restores the shine to bestiary jewelry
At the start of 2025, fine jewelry is being renewed by celebrating wild animals and nature in full setting, competing in technicality and creativity.
Since the dawn of time, the greatest jewelers have strived to represent fauna and flora, which have proven to be, again and again, an inexhaustible source of inspiration, giving birth to spectacular pieces where precious stones breathe life and brilliance into the bestiaries of each Maison, featuring snakes, panthers, butterflies, birds... Discover the magnificent creations that marked the start of this year which promises to be rich in creation!
“Wild Nature” by Boucheron
Claire Choisne, artistic director of Boucheron drew from Frédéric's exotic herbarium Boucheron to reinterpret it in a brand new daring collection.
Each creation celebrates the raw beauty of this nature, wild, untamed and alive; long perceived as less noble or honorable, the leaves of rose bushes, ivy, thistles, laurels and oats appear majestic alongside bumblebees, beetles, flies, bees, butterflies and ladybugs set with diamonds on white gold.
She pays tribute to him through 28 creations with 116 new designs, where nature asserts itself and reclaims its rights over the individual, redefining the boundaries between the body and the ecosystem, and takes an affirmed place behind the Nature Triomphante collection of Boucheron.
“Genesis Mosaic Serpenti" of Bulgari
This piece, produced in collaboration with the Maison Sicis, expert in the art of micro-mosaic, reinvents the iconic bracelet Serpenti with a touch of vibrancy and colour. The pink rose gold is subtly worked and adorned with diamonds and rubies, with a total weight of 12.81 carats. In total, more than 30 unique mosaic scales were handcrafted by their respective artisans, breathing life into the body of the bracelet with colour. Each mosaic piece has been individually shaped and positioned with care, ensuring that the iconic curves of the Serpenti retain their fluid grace.
This collaboration is a demonstration of the magic that happens when two craft houses come together to create something truly remarkable.
“Wild Nature” by Cartier
This historic collection of high jewelry takes a new look at the fauna of Cartier through new and unexpected encounters, structured in three chapters, which feature the emblematic animals of the Maison : the panther of Cartier, the embodiment of freedom and the emancipation of women, which it has made its emblem since 1914, but also the zebra, the tiger, the crocodile and many others.
This year, she added two new necklaces to it: Fully articulated ring bracelet with sapphire-speckled diamond fur and emerald eyes. The panther is guarding an 8.63-carat Zambian emerald. Courtesy of Cartier as well as a Tiger necklace in yellow gold, onyx, emeralds and yellow and orange diamonds,
