1 5 6 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I Stylised, open-worked and sculpted to follow a movement that combines strength and exquisite refinement, the hydrangea according to Chaumet asserts theMaison’s naturalistic style to transform into a collection of jewellery designed to encapsulate emotion. The power of emotions is evoked in three shades of precious stones: the irresistible charm of powder pink for budding emotion, imitating the first flutterings of love. The strength and grace of blue for bold emotion, and of being unafraid to the openness of feeling; then the sequence culminates with the intensity of red for deep emotion, and of being engulfed by passions. In the representation of budding emotion, each piece features white blushed with pink, hinting at a cheek flushed with a secret compliment. The stones become a flower as the hydrangea unfolds into myriad blossoms of pink tourmalines, sculpted opal cabochons and pink sapphires on pink gold. Pure diamonds and subtly coloured stones reveal exquisitely romantic jewels that hint at that first realisation of love and its immediate impact onmind, body and spirit: an exuberant ring, a trembling brooch, a delicate secret watch or a long necklace that transforms into a choker and bracelet.
