Piaget's sparkling new collection draws acclaim

Piaget's new collection sparkled at September's Biennale des Antiquaires in Paris - its 59 pieces of high jewellery and 12 high jewellery watches make up the brand's largest collection yet. Exploring the idea of feminine seduction, the Couture Précieuse uses a limited colour palette of white diamonds, red rubellites, and black spinels. Included in the collection is the high jewellery cuff watch in 18K white gold (right) with a case set with 60 brilliant-cut diamonds and bracelet set with 237 brilliant-cut diamonds. The Geneva-based house also employed the talents of renowned British fashion illustrator David Downton, who created eight sketches immortalising some of the models presented by Piaget. piaget.com
