The Art of Adornment
Discover Piaget’s innovative yet timeless approach to day-to-night glamour
Fine jewelry has a reputation for evoking strong emotions in its wearer. Whether it’s the nostalgia that radiates from a family heirloom, the confidence that a piece you have self-gifted to mark a personal achievement instils, or the heart-fluttering sensations something given to you by your significant other can arouse, we have a deeply sentimental attachment to each and every one, making our jewelry wardrobe read like a sartorial biography.
The precious pieces we chose to adorn ourselves in are also a true statement of our personal style. For guaranteed glamour and elegance, coupled with a sense of playfulness, the style-savvy turn to Piaget. The Swiss jewelry brand and watchmaker draws on over 140 years of expertise to create timeless and trend-defying pieces that are the ultimate finishing touches, day or night.
The label’s iridescent Possession collection is one of its most iconic, defined by gracefully rotating bars that are said to represent the strength of women: “Turn and Shine,” is the maison’s empowering motto. With pendants, rings, bangles, cuffs, earrings and timepieces, there is a piece for every occasion. Bold pops of color lend a modern appeal to the delicate arced silhouettes – from oceanic turquoise and regal malachite, to impassioned carnelian and meditative lapis lazuli, there are stones to suit every mood, occasion and ensemble.
The collection appeals to both minimalists and maximalists for its ability to be mixed and matched with abandon. Each piece in the Possession collection is unique enough to be worn as a single statement piece, while stacking and layering can create a bold effect and unique color blends. Since launching the first hard-stone watch dials in 1963, Piaget has held a strong affinity for color and this collection unveils a kaleidoscope of colored timepieces through its innovative interchangeable straps. The Possession timepieces also feature a signature rotating diamond-encrusted bezel, which beautifully illustrates the house’s renown for marrying gem-setting with novel creativity. Refined enough to wear every day, and ornate enough to elevate your evening attire, these are hard-working investment pieces.
The fine bangles are another must-have from the range. The perfect accessory to offset a simple slip dress, or chic linen shirt, they dangle delicately from the wrist. For a bolder look, Piaget has added three large bangles in the same clasp-free silhouette, in rose- and white-gold with richly opulent green, or dazzling fully-paved cabochons. Also new to the Possession range are the hoop earrings; another reinterpretation of the iconic design of the bangle. Once again tapping into our desire for versatility, the earrings come in two different sizes – medium and small, both in a chic rose-gold with diamonds. The medium size can be further personalized via the detachable studs that can be worn in three different ways: as hoops with studs, as studs alone, or mixed for an on-trend, perfectly ‘imperfect’ effect.
“The Possession collection is an enchanting representation of Piaget’s history, as well as a stunning addition to your own sartorial legacy
”
As well as its aesthetic charm, the Possession collection is designed to “appeal to both the sense of sight and sense of touch”. This is immediately evident in the drop pendants with their ring of 14 brilliant-cut diamonds that rotates freely. There is something magical about it that instantly draws you physically and conjures an urge to turn it to feel it’s positive energy and strength. As with the rest of the collection, the pendants can be layered effortlessly for a delicate yet decadent effect.
When Piaget’s founder, Georges-Edouard Piaget, set up his first workshop in 1874 in the family farmhouse in La Côte-aux-Fées he felt prepossessed to explore high-precision movements. Now, with fluidity as the Maison’s trademark, the Possession collection is an enchanting representation of the house’s history, as well as a stunning addition to your own sartorial legacy.
