Jewels & Watches: 5 Latest Heritage Releases For Women

14 May 2024

After "Watches & Wonders" in April, we are happy to welcome you to “Jewels & Watches” — your newest destination for the crème de la crème of precious masterpieces and finest timekeepers. In this curated column, we will regularly unveil treasures that enchant us and will surely inspire you. So… get ready to adorn yourself.

Divas’ Dream Peacock Marquetry Collection, Bulgari

Divas’ Dream Peacock Collection, inspired by Bulgari’s rich heritage and primarily introduced in 2017, plays a special role in the brand’s mythical bestiary. Now, Bulgari opens a new chapter dedicated to the majestic peacock by marrying the horological mechanics of an automatic calibre with mysterious hours to a dial decorated with marquetry of natural peacock feathers. The Marquetry features five watches, each telling its own story and striking with opulence. Would you try to catch one of these birds for your collection?

Pom Pom Dot Collection, Pomellato

Italian Pomellato went back to its roots as well, reinterpreting its iconic necklace from 1974 in a playful manner. The Pom Pom Dot collection’s stars are gem buttons put on necklaces, bracelets, and earrings that can be flipped and worn in an alternative way: both sides have a different colour for a bit of versatility. By the way, buttons are believed to be talismans in some cultures. So it seems like buying a jewel provides complimentary protection!

Mini DolceVita 150th Kentucky Derby Limited Edition, Longines

Longines’ new launch also has tight bonds with the brand’s story. The Swiss manufacturer has been an official partner, timekeeper, and watch of Kentucky Derby and Kentucky Oaks since 2011, and this year joined the 150th anniversary of the famous horse races by releasing a special limited edition of its Mini DolceVita model. The watch features a double strap in pink Nappa leather, an event celebration engraving, and a number inscription — one of 150. Part of the sales will go to the Horses and Hope charity to prevent, screen, and treat horse industry workers and other special populations from cancer. So, equitation fans, go for it!

Quatre Сollection, Boucheron

Boucheron has a reason to celebrate, too. Twenty years ago, the brand released one of its signature models — the Quatre ring. The original design featured four rings — each with a certain meaning and inspiration behind it — put together for a recognisable gender-neutral look. The new edition reimagines the icon and includes a wider range of jewels — from classic ring interpretations to bracelets, earrings, necklaces, and hair accessories.

Mother of Pearl Collection, BijouQ

Craftsmanship and sustainability are the essences of BijouQ, and that is exactly what the brand showcases in its new collection. Working with Mother of Pearl is challenging in many ways, from material’s limited availability to ethical sourcing concerns. However, the BijouQ managed to navigate the obstacles and celebrate the beauty of this natural element.
