L’Heure du Diamant – a collection that single-handedly epitomises a part of Chopard’s heritage and the dazzling combination of its skills – tells the story of the enduring spirit of jewellery-making through its various incarnations. The collection now appears with new designs enhancing the finest diamonds through perfectly proportioned motifs, backed by incredibly sophisticated gem setting techniques. The delicacy and poetry of this collection make it the ultimate symbol of romance, unleashing all the emotional power radiating from the heart of an infinitely precious jewel.
Poetic, precious floral inspiration
L’Heure du Diamant jewellery launches a new design. Thanks to the lightness and ingenuity of the collection’s characteristic crown setting, these creations sculpt the light to reveal all the brilliance and magnetism of the diamonds at their vibrant heart. Six diamonds, cut into the majestic pear shape, unfurl the petals of a sovereign flower, touching in its sheer simplicity and perfection. These large, generous-sized gems bring a bold, radically modern twist to this classic jewellery archetype. Based on a design drawn from the infinite richness of the plant kingdom, L’Heure du Diamant distils the quintessence of one of classical jewellery’s noblest motifs: the cluster. Playing with its proportions, the collection is the radiant expression of a springtime that is always just around the corner and a constantly renewed breath of fresh life.
Spanning a series consisting of a necklace, a ‘Toi & Moi’ ring, a bangle bracelet and several earring options in ethical 18-carat white gold, this floral motif allows for infinite compositions. Whether worn as a set or as a solo piece – even the earrings can be sold on their own or in pairs – each of the elements in this collection can be intertwined.
Illusion, orchestrating heart-felt light effects
Driven by boundless creative generosity, the Maison’s jewellery workshops offer a second interpretation of the cluster motif. In doing so, they express the full force of their gem setting talent through a series of rings, pendants and earrings featuring the heart theme – a source of love and life chosen by Chopard as one of its signature symbols. At first glance, this jewellery appears to sparkle with the supreme radiance of a single large diamond – an illusion skilfully orchestrated by a composition of several brilliants, with several stones revolving around a generous-sized central stone. The ensemble is held together by means of an innovative gem setting technique in which the diamonds are not set in traditional metal prongs, instead nestling in the soft lobes of a white gold heart whose gleaming mirror-polished surface catches and multiplies light effects. The intense fire of the diamonds mingles with that of the gold: these tiny hearts throbbing with energy and vitality are like an array of facets creating the splendid illusion of forming a single diamond.
Twinkling stars
A trail of stardust, twinkling in the deep blue of the celestial vault. The L’Heure du Diamant collection welcomes this ultimate jewellery design that is simple in appearance only, as beneath a pared-down composition of pear-shaped diamonds lies the full range of virtuoso skills exercised within the workshop. Available in two sizes, the earrings form a gentle arc resembling the flight of a shooting star and extending the round curve of the ear. It adds a graphic touch thanks to the tips of different-sized pear-shaped diamonds arranged in ascending order. These creations are complemented by a ring whose incandescent rays illuminate an enchanting universe. Here again, the setting vanishes into the light touches provided by prongs in ethical 18-carat white gold. Unencumbered by the constraints of metallic opacity and radiating all the mineral purity of diamonds, L’Heure du Diamant jewels embody fragments of eternity in their timeless grace.
Birth of a distinctive collection
The radiance of great classics sculpted with unprecedented lightness and viewed through the prism of contemporary elegance: L’Heure du Diamant takes its place amongst those collections perfectly distilling the spirit of Chopard. Inspired by the modernism of the 1960s, this watch and jewellery collection stems from the entrepreneurial genius of Karl and Karin Scheufele, combined with unique jewellery expertise handed down across successive generations.
