Time is embedded with secrets. Every piece of jewelry is crafted with the signs of the time, a documentation of the timeless emotions. With the rise of She-Economy and Generation Z, a modern day woman embodies this tender and carefree nature. She doesn’t have to care about how others perceive or judge her and will continue to live—happily and freely—in her versatile world.

Cartier雙面碰撞

「優雅或野性，含蓄或張揚，每一面都是真正的我。」珠寶世家Cartier卡地亞推出全新Clash de Cartier珠寶系列，宣告著一款珠寶兩種面貌的風格悖論，打破品牌在飾釘、圓珠、巴黎飾釘（Clous de Paris）中的一貫美學與傳統框架，將各種裝飾元素融匯成獨特而當代的造型。鋒芒畢露，卻觸感柔和；造型大膽，卻靈巧柔潤；Clash de Cartier系列將矛盾化為統一，綻放雙面魅力：一面柔美耀眼，一面自由果敢。在與生俱來的結構勻稱感中展現大膽奔放的姿態；在充滿幾何尖峰線條的純粹之中感覺關於細緻觸感的女人味；在極具張力的緊湊結構中體會渾圓風韻的溫柔迷人。

承襲Cartier於30’年代便開始運用的幾何設計，並且以新古典主義關於理性的美學為設計靈感，打造出中性的優雅氣質，再用流暢而富有律動感的有機感打破造型上的嚴謹與節制。Cartier珠寶工坊特別設計了一套精巧機制，在悉心拋光各項組件加以組裝，讓飾釘相互穩固鑲嵌而保持活動自如，配戴舒適，光線則穿梭於微妙靈動的別緻裝飾之上。

Cartier’s Clashing Duality
“Elegant or wild, reserved or outspoken, every side represents the real me.” The Maison of Cartier introduces the brand new Clash de Cartier jewelry collection—a statement that is rooted in duality. Breaking the molds of tradition, it merges studs, beads, and clous carrés by embracing the modern spirits. It shines with brightness but is soft to the touch; designed with boldness but radiates with agility and tenderness. Clash de Cartier unifies all
paradoxes and celebrates the charm of duality—with one side beaming with this soft dazzle, while the other, a brave freedom. A bold posture beams within the inherent symmetrical structure as we try to feel the delicate touch of femininity amongst the pure geometric lines and understand the gentle charm hidden within the tightly compact structure.

Inheriting the geometric design Cartier had been using since the ’30s, while drawing inspiration from the neoclassical aesthetics of rationality, the new collection creates this gender neutral elegance, allowing the supple and rhythmic organic effect to break the usual rigorous design. Created an impeccable mechanism exclusive to this collection, the Maison assembles the various polished components and inlaids the studs firmly within one another while still ensuring flexibility. Comfortable to wear, the light continues to shine through every movement, with an agility that is beyond any regular accessory.

Fred 偏心所愛

詮釋「your way your love（愛你所愛）」的理念，它不僅是一句口號，更是融入日常生活的生活方式，FRED打造的Pretty Woman系列全新珠寶與高級珠寶，1990年風靡全球的電影《麻雀變鳳凰》中朱莉婭·羅伯茨佩戴的紅碧璽項鍊原型經過重新演繹，再次煥發魅力。傳承與創新，不僅體現在FRED珠寶傑作上，品牌更是邀請影片《麻雀變鳳凰》主角茱莉婭·羅伯茨的姪女，好萊塢知名演員艾瑪·羅伯茨擔任Pretty Woman珠寶系列的代言人。

心之所向，是唯一的方向，追尋指引，找到「偏心」之選。本次作品以「心心相印」為題，巧妙地將大小心型環環相扣，形成柔美曲線，宛若湍湍流淌著的心河，寓意延綿不絕的愛，同時又不失從容不迫的法式優雅時尚。每個鏤空心型的中間均鑲嵌一顆心型紅碧璽，以看似不規則實則精心排列的方式呈現優雅的「偏心」美學設計。

FRED: Your Way Your Love  

To express the concept of “your way your love,” understand it is not just a slogan, but also a way of living life. FRED presents its brand new Pretty Woman collection of both jewelry and High Jewelry, by reimagining the charming rubies necklace Julia Roberts wore in her iconic 1990 film, Pretty Woman. Demonstrating inheritance and innovation through its jewelry pieces, the label also invites Hollywood actress Emma Roberts, who is also Julia Roberts’s niece, to be the embodiment of the Pretty Woman collection.

Follow your heart, because it is the direction that is the most truthful. Captured in a distinctive aesthetic, “the heart within a heart,” cleverly links the two hearts to create this supple curve that flows like a river, symbolizing the never-ending love one can generate while representing the typical joie de vivre and sense of freedom. Within each heart shape there is a heart-cut rubellite inlaid in the center, making the seemingly effortless coordination a wonderful display of a heartfelt aesthetic.

LOUIS VUITTON 極簡線條

天然鑽石協會（NATURAL DIAMOND COUNCIL）2021春夏天然鑽石風尚珠寶報告顯示，「極簡主義」是本季重要珠寶趨勢之一。作為極簡主義珠寶中的典型元素，英文字母具有出色的辨識度，裝飾性以及特殊的象徵含義，LOUIS VUITTON 運用天然鑽石與貴金屬的簡單搭配，讓個性與態度盡顯無疑。

剛推出新一季珠寶作品——「Pure V」，靈感源自品牌創始人之孫 Gaston-Louis Vuitton 於1920年代創作的旅行箱裝飾圖案。設計師通過極簡線條演繹品牌首字母「V」，以天然鑽石勾勒出先銳風格的日常珠寶作品。新系列由 Louis Vuitton珠寶創意總監 Francesca Amfitheatrof 親自設計，他表示：「我希望此種極簡變化可以再次引領時尚、前衛，以及易於佩戴。因為現在的女性，正在追尋可以搭配黑色高領和燕尾服外套的多用途高級珠寶。」巧妙以層疊平行線條烘托「V」字形的尖角造型，強調品牌的標誌性元素，最匠心的是 V 字母上方托起的一顆三角形鑽石，寶石琢形恰好與「V」契合，成為作品的點睛。

Minimal Lines of LOUIS VUITTON 

According to its 2021 Spring-Summer natural diamond trend report, the Natural Diamond Council stated “Natural Simplicity” as one of the major trends of this season. This season, LOUIS VUITTON presents us with the simple combination of natural diamonds and precious metal to fully express the wearer’s personality and attitude. As the iconic element in minimalist jewelry, the alphabets are not only highly recognizable, but are also excellent for decoration and meaningful symbolism.

Inspired by Gaston-Louis Vuitton’s patterns on his luggage back in 1920, LOUIS VUITTON introduces its latest jewelry collection, Pure V.  The designer reinterprets the letter “V” through minimalist lines and allows the natural diamonds to outline the innovative jewelry pieces. As the Artistic Director, Francesca Amfitheatrof designed this new collection wanting “this minimalistic adaptation to be at once chic, cutting-edge and easy to wear. Because nowadays women look for versatile high jewellery pieces that can be worn with both a black turtle-neck and a tuxedo jacket.” Cleverly using the overlapping horizontal lines to highlight the V-shaped design, the most special detail of each piece is how the tip of the V features a pear-shaped diamond—a perfect match between the shape and the letter that never fails to catch one’s attention.

Debeers 誓約之環

當今時代，人類愈來愈渴望贈予摯愛一份源於大自然經典雋永的禮物，以表達珍視與感激之情。一枚單鑽戒指可代表訂婚及婚姻裏的愛與承諾；它亦可以歡慶家人與朋友之間的緊密連結，或是一份可以世代傳承的禮物，作為載體長久陪伴度過人生不同階段。

以羅馬心靈之神賽姬（Psyche）與愛神丘比特（Cupid）之間舉世傳頌的雋永愛情故事為靈感設計出來的 DB
Classic，象徵著純潔、忠誠及永恆不朽。DB Classic 鉑金鑽石戒指以經典的 V 型鑲嵌，捕捉了賽姬與丘比特愛情故事的精髓，托高主鑽迎向最多光芒。鑽石的耀眼火光，彷彿丘比特展開的羽翼，而完美對稱的設計則像徵著賽姬的純淨之美。而 Infinity 系列則是以希臘神話中，儘管分離20 多年，潘妮洛普（Penelope）依然耐心等候丈夫奧德賽（Odysseus）歸來為靈感來源，以交疊環繞的戒環打造充滿藝術感的設計，交疊環繞的線條構成無限符號「∞」的造型，象徵永恆的優雅與愛的永恆。

Debeers: Band of Promise     

Nowadays, humans are more prone to purchase gifts that originated from the timelessness of nature, in order to fully express gratitude and admiration. A solitaire diamond ring can represent the loving vows of marriage and engagements, celebrate the intimate bond between friends and family, or become a gift of inheritance that accompanies us through the different stages of life. 

Inspired by the eternal love story of Psyche and Cupid, DB Classic is an emblem of purity, commitment, and this unwavering love. Capturing the essence of the Greek love story, the diamond engagement ring allows the round brilliant diamond to be elevated towards the light on a V-setting to emphasize its breathtaking shine. The gleam of diamonds blazes like Cupid’s wings, while the perfectly proportioned design stands like Psyche’s pure beauty. On the other hand, the Infinity collection draws inspiration from the moving love story of Penelope and Odysseus. The overlapping and encircling of bands create this design filled with artistic aesthetic, with the shape of the infinity sign becoming an eternal symbol of love and elegance.
