Style Edit: Chopard expands its high jewellery Ice Cube capsule

Minimalist, angular and unapologetically modern, Chopard’s Ice Cube collection has long stood apart in the world of high jewellery, offering a stark contrast to more traditional, ornate designs. At its core is a simple yet striking motif – the cube – repeated, polished, and stacked in endless combinations.

What began as a refined everyday collection is now in bold new territory. What began with a 2024 high jewellery capsule, has now seen Ice Cube reimagined at a larger scale. Geometry becomes sculpture. Proportions expand. Movement and light take centre stage. The result is a collection that feels architectural, expressive and refreshingly contemporary.

Leading the line-up is a modular necklace composed of nine rows of articulated cubes in ethical white and rose gold. The rows can be worn together or detached in sections of three, transforming a dramatic collar into a minimal accent. The cubes vary in size and surface – some mirror-polished, others set with diamonds – creating a rhythmic play of texture and reflection that changes with every turn of the head.

“Ice Cube has always represented purity and precision,” says Caroline Scheufele, co-president and artistic director of Chopard. “But here, we pushed its language even further – into volume, movement, and expression. I wanted the pieces to feel wearable yet unexpected, like modern art for the body.”

That spirit of transformation extends throughout the capsule. Cuff-like bracelets come in three- or six-row versions, available in white or rose gold, with partial or full pavé settings. A versatile brooch embraces gender-neutral styling and is designed to be worn across collars, lapels or even in the hair. The mirror finishes, particularly on uneven surfaces, demand extreme precision – a level of craftsmanship few workshops can match.

Ice Cube’s clean lines also lean into Art Deco influences. A stand-out ring features a 3-carat Asscher-cut diamond placed diagonally across two parallel bands of white gold, both set with brilliants. Matching earrings suspend Asscher solitaires from a column of detachable diamond-set cubes, allowing the wearer to style them symmetrically or asymmetrically, bold or minimal.
