B racelets that recreate a dream. Large or small but captivating and strong, dreamy bracelets are one of the key pieces for this high jewellery renaissance. Just one can change the way you look and appeal. The key feature here is that the stones have to be extremely large, making the carats impressive and precious. Whether one large stone or several that create the bracelet, what matters is their size and purity. Worn with a white shirt or a ball gown, those dreamy bracelets highlight your gaze and, equally precious, there is a story behind their creation. Part of the Black Label Masterpiece vI by Cindy Chao, ‘Mystère de la mer Bangle’ is a romantic bracelet whose stones tell stories of fantastic adventures on the oceans like those depicted by Jules verne in his books. To recreate this dream, the bracelet, mounted on 18ct white and yellow gold, features a one-of-a-kind cushion-cut sapphire of 58.21 carats, seven emeralds (14.21 carats), 2.207 diamonds (37.86 carats), 33 yellow diamonds (3.62 carats) and 136 sapphires (22.51 carats). A major concern in fashion as well as in the world of jewellery is fair trade. Nadia Swarovski knows that well and this time she partnered with Oscar winning actress Penelope Cruz for a collection of fair-trade, fair-mined jewels, like this 18ct Fairtrade white gold set with 8 created sapphires and 8 Swarovski Genuine Topaz, paved with Swarovski Created diamonds bracelet. Milanese jewellery master Buccellati, now guided by Lucrezia Buccellati, nephew of Mario Buccellati who founded the company in 1919, presents this stunning joie de vivre bracelet whose colour interplay of precious stones has created amusing yet elegant combinations. For this unique piece, 214 emeralds, 216 rubies and 216 sapphires were used, combined with 300 diamonds and a contrast created by white and yellow gold. Chaumet Tresors d’Afrique bracelet is a dream-like journey into the exotic location of Africa with its safaris and tribes. Made in yellow gold and set with a blue ‘sugar- loaf’ chrysoprase weighing 7 carats, malachite, ebony, and round Mandarin garnets, this incredible piece was one of the best pieces presented during Paris Haute Couture, dazzling with its minimalistic yet bold simplicity. daring, opulent and modern, deGrisogono high jewellery bracelet is a statement of contemporary beauty.

Bulgari’s Wild Pop High Jewellery bracelet is a bold and strong reinterpretation of the Warhol era, but with the fun and joyful touch that Italians have. Made in white gold with onyx inserts, two aquamarines (15.26 ct), two amethysts (14.88 ct), two green tourmalines (18.19 ct), three peridots (28.17 ct), six rubellites (52.04 ct), and pavé diamonds (11.05 ct), the ‘pop mics’ bracelet recreates little microphones and goes perfectly with whatever you wear.
