Precious pieces with a personal touch

What do you consider to be the most personal part of your wardrobe? More than likely it’s your jewelry collection; not simply the trend-driven pieces that you swap in and out of your look on a season-by-season basis, but the ones that rarely leave your side – the cherished necklaces and rings that become so precious over time that it’s like they’re a part of you. Piaget and its expert team of designers and craftsmen are experts at conjuring just such pieces. The luxury label was founded in Geneva in 1874 by Georges-Edouard Piaget and, for more than a century, has been fine-tuning and honing the art of goldsmithing and gem-setting in its ateliers, firmly cementing its place as a go-to for understated, perpetually stylish jewelry.

The label’s Possession collection was first unveiled 25 years ago and is a sophisticated mix of classic elegance and contemporary flourishes; these are pieces with just enough contemporary flair to feel of-the-moment, balanced with a quiet, eternal style. They are also endlessly versatile, perfect for wearing in the boardroom, on elegant evenings out or on a sun-filled getaway. Take your cue from style stars Linda Tol and Saasha Burns who took their favorite Piaget pieces to Tulum and proved that there’s nothing that they won’t elevate. Style yours over the coming months with everything from statement-making swimwear and easy-breezy cover-ups to high-impact cocktail dresses and metallic separates.

Diamonds are woven throughout the collection, along with the more recent addition of beautiful colored stones such as deep-blue lapis lazuli and rich-red carnelian. They’re just the thing to make the bracelets and bangles pop; elegantly simple worn one at a time, they come into their own when stacked together. You’ll want to team the delicate Possession chain bracelet with the clean lines of the open bangle, mixing the rainbow-array of stones and shades of gold and silver according to your own sartorial inclinations.

Or you could look to the pendants, from the long, standout necklaces to the shorter, more delicate chains, all ripe for layering in an eclectic blend of lengths and hues. And there are the watches to integrate into your look, too: ladylike, refined shapes peppered with diamonds – the ultimate investment pieces. Whichever you choose, you’ll want to wear them always and forever, until the precious becomes personal. Which is what crafting the perfect jewelry collection is all about.
