Jewellery and precious stones at Paris High Jewellery Week

Under the Parisian sky in July 2025, the most important international fashion houses unveiled their new High Jewellery collections in conjunction with Haute Couture, as is tradition. The result was a panorama of extreme creativity, dominated by a return to Art Deco geometric rigor and organic motifs, often intertwined in the same aesthetic narrative. Long pendants adorning the back, transformable jewellery, inspirations drawn from flora and fauna, and exquisite technical research gave life to masterpieces of goldsmithing. The collections dared to use bright colors and unprecedented experimentation, confirming that high jewellery is a field of continuous innovation while remaining faithful to the great tradition of the past.

Color was another undisputed protagonist. The classic diamond-platinum combination was accompanied by bolder palettes: from the vibrant yellows of sapphires to brightly colored spinels, the play of colors in opals, the contrasts between intense rubies and dark onyx, and exceptional Paraiba tourmalines. The use of strong contrasts—such as the juxtaposition of sunny gems against dark onyx or black enamel backgrounds—added drama and depth.

Finally, the research focused on the very substance of light. Plique-à-jour enamels, satin finishes, and invisible settings transformed the jewellery into veritable luminous architectures, capable of reflecting and diffusing unexpected flashes of light.

A distinctive feature of this edition was the emphasis on movement. Necklaces and pendants were designed to swing freely, sometimes extending down the back like drapery jewellery; many pieces are transformable and modular, conceived to adapt to the rhythm of the day and different occasions. Versatility becomes an aesthetic as well as a functional feature, embodying an idea of intimate and personal luxury.

The style of Parisian Haute Joaillerie 2025 was a continuous dialogue between past and future: geometry and nature, color and light, transformability and lightness. A complex and poetic aesthetic lexicon that confirms jewellery as an evolving artistic language, capable of recounting both the heritage of the great Maisons and the vision of emerging designers.
