Chapter 1 - Enchanted flight
Transcending precision and perfection, we soar with the Piaget Bird on its flight of imagination and inventiveness through the tropics, to reach a tranquil oasis of wonder and harmony, where, as the setting sun glows as embers towards dusk, we emerge to celebrate excellence in an explosion and crescendo of exotic brilliance.

Majestic Plumage Set
Flight feathers have long been cherished as a design motif in jewellery through the ages, and here the plumage is realised both with especially high levels of craftsmanship and chromatic creativity. Recreating rich tropical colours, the feather marquetry - by Maître d’Art Nelly Saunier - and the gem-setting work perfectly emulate the plumage of an exotic bird by utilizing, in addition to feathers, a rainbow of differently coloured sapphires and spinel.

At the centre of the Majestic Plumage necklace is an especially rare 7.49 carats tourmaline known as Paraiba (after the State in Brazil where it was first discovered in the 1980s as an entirely new gem). The colours range from startling turquoise to majestic blue-green, but it is the incandescent glow lighting up the stone from within that makes Paraiba tourmalines incomparable to any other gem.

 

Colour also resonates in the earrings of the same set, this time showcasing the beauty of red spinel, less conventional than ruby but every bit as precious, and so alike to ruby that it was simply known as ‘balas ruby’ right up until modern times when the science of gemmology developed and discerned the difference. These 2.70 carats gems from Tanzania are always talking points and are unusual to see as matching pear-shapes and with a pink blush adding to their rarity and value.

 

The artful combination of the highest quality of both stones and skill repeats in the cocktail ring, a statement piece showcasing remarkable gems which took eight months to source and match. A vibrant, indigo blue-coloured tourmaline, much spirited than the darker blue-green common tourmaline, is teamed with the perfect ‘hot pink’ shade of red in the pear-shaped spinel.

Chapter 2 - Magnificent Haven
As our journey continues across glistening lands, we reach a magnificent oasis and come to rest in an enchanted clearing. Beyond cascading rivers of blue, fierce waters become quiet pools. At the heart of this jungle is a haven where clean lines and smooth shapes mirror the balance of nature as earth, stone and water unify in perfect harmony. This natural pool, poetically called ‘cenote’ (translated from the Spanish as ‘holy well’) is a place of rest and refuge, where the colour of the water reflects and the murmurs of jungle wilderness sooths us into a gentle state of calm and serenity. Here is a place of refuge.

Secret Cenote Set
At the centre of the necklace from the Secret Cenote Set, a ‘Ceylon’ sapphire that echoes the crystal clear water of the cenote itself. It is easy to lose oneself in 22.68 carats of blue bliss: this gem has a unique soul, an ability to transport us to faraway dreams. Coming from the acclaimed Ratnapura region of Sri Lanka, the best known locality for the largest, best coloured sapphire in the world, we can understand why Sri Lanka means Resplendent Island in Sinhalese: a land glittering with gems unrivalled in the world.

 

This stone with its cornflower shade of blue has an added quality of velvety softness to it. We could almost lose ourselves in the depth of its water-like blue, and this gentleness and smoothness is continued with the immaculate articulation of the piece, which seems to flow, almost like water itself. Such suppleness belies the extent of expert craftsmanship required to produce this effect however – 230 hours at the bench.

The fairy-tale beauty of the cenote repeats in the ring, perfectly designed with a personal pool of beauty at its centre. This gem of 11.34 carats with its intense blue hue and strong saturation is a crystal of great purity. It took an entire year to find the sapphires for the Secret Cenote set, all with matching tones and colour. This sapphire is from Madagascar, which was once geologically part of the same landmass as Sri Lanka, explaining the similar, harmonious hues. As we look out from the gem, the surrounding marquise-shaped diamonds were specially cut to reflect the leafy vines that canopy above the pool, surrounding it and keeping its divinity a secret.

 

Chapter 3 - Ecstatic Dance
A cool breeze softens the air, rested and revived, it is time to celebrate the wonders of this world, as the sun sinks and melts into a golden glow, the colours of its setting bathing all in a rosy richness of golds and pinks. A pink horizon. Across the painted landscape, rainbow colours begin to illuminate the night, washing every touch with magical richness. 

 

Branches stir and whisper with excitement – while some rest for the night, others awaken. Bewitched by the lure of laughter, music and aromatic scents, curious wanderers find a sunset soiree. This is shared joy: a captivating sight to behold, and one of life’s moments to savour and treasure always.
