Sell hello to the fresh face of high jewellery for 2021
Bold and youthful, gender-fluid, mismatched and launching online, this is what the most luxurious jewels look like in 2021.

The world may be upside down but in the high jewellery ateliers of Place Vendôme, Bond Street, Ginza and Milan master craftsmen continue to work. Against the odds, the top jewellery houses capable of funding costly high jewellery collections have unveiled their dazzling collections in conjunction with the (virtual) January Haute Couture 2021 week in Paris.
High jewellery creations are planned some two years in advance so it is fair to say that these collections were probably already on their way into the workshop by the time the first COVID pandemic lockdown came into force at the start of 2020. Alongside Van Cleef & Arpels, Pomellato and Chanel - whose collections we covered a few weeks ago – Boucheron, Buccellati, David Morris, De Beers and Tasaki presented their one-of-a-kind creations last month and there were some unexpected surprises.
