5 diamond jewellery pieces that make a dazzling statement

Colourlessness in the very best white diamonds is the sought-after perennial, but coloured diamonds are also in the mix in this round-up of some of the most dynamic diamond creativity this year. Whatever the aesthetic of the jewellery atelier in question, the impact is opulent radiance.

Boucheron Lierre Givré necklace

Titanium is the key metal in this piece from the Nature Triomphante collection, but you would be forgiven for thinking platinum was at work because of a lustrous pale interplay of white diamonds and cacholong. The former is normally seen as an opaque bluish white or pale yellow opal variety. The futuristic necklace captures the winter thaw of an ivy branch. The spines of the plant feature pavé diamonds, while a trembler animates each leaf with a light movement like a soft breeze.

Cartier Coloratura Yoshino necklace

Cartier has infused its latest high jewellery collection with a livewire rainbow. The sensorial impact of colour, drawn from India, Africa, and in the case of this feminine creation – Japan; is based on joy. Transformative jewels are also the focus: the necklace, that unites pastel hues of morganites, pink sapphires, tourmalines and opals with striking white diamonds, has an additional chain and can be worn three different ways.
