Voluminous silhouettes and textured surfaces accentuate the timeless yet contemporary allure of gold.

Take for instance Cartier, which recently introduced two new additions to its signature Grain de Café Collection. The pieces, a brooch and a bracelet, embody the collection’s distinctive features: Mobility of coffee beans and their gentle clinking, the striated or smooth yellow gold, the gadroon, the Palm Tree chain with its woven effect and the closed gem setting. 

Mounted on the Palm Tree chain, the bracelet features a unique design with one side left open and the other with a discreet hinge hidden beneath a coffee bean. A total of 179 diamonds are scattered across the grains, sporadically or in full pavé. Meanwhile, the brooch showcases a graceful cluster illuminated by 70 diamonds. The opulence of its volumes, the interplay of the grains and the beauty of the materials ensure a high-precision composition.

“This sunny jewellery honours codes and blurs lines, playing on the softness of white gold and the flamboyance of contrasts. It is a unique blend of vintage spirit and contemporary style, combined with a familiar feeling for precious objects that we would like to pass on,” said Cartier.

Boucheron, for its part, expanded its iconic Quatre Grosgrain Collection with a necklace, a bracelet and pair of stud earrings that pay homage to the collection’s Grosgrain motif, inspired by ribbed silk fabric. 

A standout piece is the Quatre Radiant earrings, crafted from 18-karat yellow and white gold to form two slender arched lines, embellished with diamonds.

Hong Kong retailer Lukfook Jewellery, meanwhile, continues to shine the spotlight on its DiaBling Shimmering Gold Collection with new designs – DiaBling Rose featuring three-dimensional rose petals and DiaBling Colourful Butterfly with a three-dimensional butterfly – in iridescent gold that radiates like diamonds. These new designs are available in earrings, necklaces, bracelets and rings.
