From seashells to octopuses – the sea is an endless source of inspiration for jewellery designers.

Eternal surf

The ring ”Water” from Chopard evokes as much a sunny day by the Mediterranean as a stormy night on the Atlantic. It is crafted from Fairmined certified 18K white gold and titanium, and adorned with a Paraiba tourmaline and diamonds.

The one and only

La Peregrina is one of the largest, most symmetrical pear-shaped pearls in the world. It was found in the mid-16th century off the Pearl Islands in Panama and is called Peregrina for a specific reason: in Spanish, it means ”pilgrim” or ”wanderer”. Pilgrim has had a particular ability to go astray. It has had many owners, from the Spanish court and the Bonaparte family to Elizabeth Taylor.

The Seven Seas

The sea is a constantly recurring source of inspiration for Van Cleef & Arpels. Here is a sautoir from the ”Black Sea” collection with black onyx and white cultured pearls.

Winding beauty

Men are adorning themselves with jewellery like never before. And the venerable jewellery house Boucheron Let your lordly ears be adorned with a cool diamond squid.

Coconut pearls

At Coco Chanel Pearls are hardly a new thing, she is said to have remarked: “A strong white earring against a deeply tanned earlobe brings me great delight.”
