盛夏的豔陽總是不吝嗇分享其熱情奔放的個性,將天空、海面與大地染成一片熾烈的金黃色,而這抹耀眼的色彩也映照到珠寶之上。從極其(珍稀)的黃鑽,到近年逐漸受年輕世代(青睞)的黃金與黃K金,正悄然改寫著金色美學語彙—它不再只是象徵典藏與保值的珍貴材質,而是一種融合工藝、設計與當代美學的創作語言,甚至承載跨越世代的文化記憶,在盛夏光影之中綻放出歷久彌新的耀眼光華。
Golden Summer:The Sunlit Aesthetic of High Jewelry
Summer arrives in a blaze of golden light, casting its radiant warmth across the sky, the sea, and the earth below. It is a season that embraces brilliance without restraint, and that same luminous glow has long found its reflection in the world of high jewelry. From exceptionally rare yellow diamonds to the renewed appreciation for yellow gold and yellow gold alloys among a younger generation of collectors, the language of gold is quietly being redefined. No longer valued solely for its rarity or enduring worth, gold has evolved into a medium through which craftsmanship, design, and contemporary aesthetics converge. It carries with it cultural memories that transcend generations, revealing a brilliance that remains as timeless as the summer sun itself.
CARTIER
卡地亞的黃金美學始終來自生活詩意的意象, 品牌經典 Grain de Café 系列,便源自一顆平凡的咖啡豆。這個誕生於二十世紀的經典設計,將日常生活中的細微意象昇華為高級珠寶語彙,也成為 Cartier 最具代表性的黃金作品之一。
全新 Grain de Café 項鍊延續經典 Palmier 鏈帶工藝,來自於工匠以細密的黃金編織出柔韌流暢的網狀結構,將堅硬的金屬展現出布料的柔軟質感,於頸肩自然垂墜,如同一襲金色高訂絲緞輕覆肌膚。
金色網眼間點綴璀璨鑽石,折射盛夏陽光的金黃光芒;錯落排列的咖啡豆元素則化作輕盈流蘇,隨著舉手投足自然律動。背面的隱藏式扣環匠心巧妙隱沒於設計之中,這也是卡地亞工藝的極致表現,體現 Cartier 一貫推崇的法式優雅——真正的奢華,從不需要刻意張揚。
For Cartier, the beauty of gold has always begun with the poetry found in everyday life. The Maison’s iconic Grain de Café collection was inspired by something as unassuming as a coffee bean. Introduced during the twentieth century, the design transformed an ordinary object into one of Cartier’s most enduring high jewelry signatures, elevating the familiar into an expression of exceptional craftsmanship.
The latest Grain de Café necklace continues this legacy through Cartier’s celebrated Palmier chain construction. Painstakingly woven by hand, countless strands of gold form an intricate mesh whose remarkable suppleness allows precious metal to drape with the softness and fluidity of couture fabric. Resting naturally across the neck and shoulders, it recalls the graceful fall of a golden satin gown.
Diamonds scattered throughout the woven gold capture the warmth of midsummer sunlight, while coffee bean motifs arranged in gentle asymmetry become delicate tassels that sway effortlessly with every movement. Hidden discreetly at the reverse, the invisible clasp is a quiet testament to Cartier’s extraordinary savoir-faire, reflecting the Maison’s enduring philosophy that genuine luxury never demands attention—it reveals itself through impeccable craftsmanship.

TIFFANY & CO
每一年Blue Book高級珠寶系列,都是Tiffany & Co.對自然最深刻的一次想像。
2026 年春季篇章《Hidden Garden 花語祕境》,以自然循環的「蛻變」與「新生」為核心主題,展現有機生長與流動之美。透過植物與昆蟲的生命循環,描繪萬物生長的力量。其中「Butterfly 彩翼蝶夢」首篇章中,鉑金與黃K金交織出振翅欲飛的雙翼,鍊墜中央鑲嵌一顆橢圓形黃鑽,如凝結成形的一滴陽光,墜於鎖骨間隨光線游移深淺,也讓黃鑽成為整個系列最耀眼的光。
鍊墜中央,一顆橢圓形黃鑽彷彿凝聚盛夏最純粹的一束陽光,在鉑金與黃K金交織而成的蝶翼間綻放溫暖光彩。細膩鋪鑲的白鑽勾勒羽翼輪廓,使光線隨著佩戴者的每一個動作自由流轉,而可轉換為胸針的設計,也延續 Tiffany & Co. 高級珠寶兼具藝術性與實用性的傳統。
同系列項鍊則以三顆黃鑽作為視覺核心,層層環繞的白鑽猶如陽光灑落蝶翼邊緣,描繪出細膩而富有生命力的金色光暈。耳環以橢圓形艷彩黃鑽搭配白鑽勾勒飛舞姿態,冷暖色澤彼此映襯,使作品更具立體層次。
相較於黃鑽所展現的耀眼光芒,戒指則呈現以三顆未經處理的橢圓形帕帕拉恰藍寶石鋪陳柔和的粉橘漸層。溫潤色彩宛如夕陽映照天際的最後一抹暖意,也讓整個 Butterfly 篇章完成了從晨曦、正午到日暮的光影流轉,將自然生命與珠寶藝術交織成一幅屬於盛夏的燦爛風景。
Each Blue Book High Jewelry collection marks Tiffany & Co.’s most poetic dialogue with the natural world.
The 2026 spring chapter, Hidden Garden, explores the perpetual cycle of transformation and renewal, celebrating the quiet beauty of organic growth and life’s continuous evolution. Through the delicate relationships between flora and insects, the collection reveals nature’s vitality with remarkable artistry.
Opening the collection, the Butterfly chapter presents wings sculpted from platinum and yellow gold, poised as though caught in the very instant before flight. Suspended at the heart of the pendant is an oval yellow diamond—a luminous drop of sunlight seemingly captured in precious form. Resting lightly against the collarbone, it shifts in brilliance with every subtle movement.
The butterfly’s wings are outlined with meticulously pavé-set white diamonds, allowing light to glide freely across the composition as the wearer moves. Designed to transform seamlessly into a brooch, the jewel continues Tiffany & Co.’s longstanding tradition of creating high jewelry that is both artistically expressive and remarkably versatile.
The accompanying necklace places three extraordinary yellow diamonds at its center, encircled by layers of brilliant white diamonds that evoke sunlight illuminating the edges of butterfly wings. Together they create a radiant golden halo filled with movement and vitality. Matching earrings pair vivid oval Fancy yellow diamonds with brilliant white diamonds, capturing the elegance of butterflies in flight while creating a captivating interplay between warm and cool tones.
Rather than echoing the brilliance of yellow diamonds, the ring offers a softer interpretation of summer light through three untreated oval Padparadscha sapphires. Their delicate gradation of blush pink and warm orange recalls the final glow of sunset, completing the Butterfly chapter’s graceful passage from dawn to midday and finally dusk. In doing so, Tiffany & Co. transforms the poetry of nature into an extraordinary expression of high jewelry, where every jewel becomes a fleeting moment of summer preserved forever.

VAN CLEEF & ARPELS
梵克雅寶的美學自品牌創立以來,自然始終是梵克雅寶最重要的創作語言。花卉、蝴蝶、羽翼與枝葉,不僅構築出梵克雅寶浪漫而詩意的美學世界,這樣的精神,早在1930年代誕生的經典 Ludo 手鐲便已展露無遺,工匠們以18K黃金編織排列的「磚紋」鍊節,將堅硬的黃金淬煉成如高訂時裝般柔軟流動的金色絲緞,使黃金在夏日烈陽下折射出的細緻微光,與帶狀邊緣鑲嵌的 18K 白金與璀璨鑽石交相輝映。如果說Ludo展現的是黃金的工藝之美,那麼 Bouquet de papillons 戒指則描繪出梵克雅寶最擅長的自然。
翩翩飛舞的蝴蝶象徵著幸福與蛻變,成為梵克雅寶創作中歷久彌新的經典。Bouquet de papillons 戒指以18K黃金的底色鋪鑲祖母綠、沙弗萊石與藍寶石交織出如盛夏山林間層疊的翠綠色彩;戒中央蝴蝶以18K白金與鑽石勾勒,在金屬與寶石的映襯下,像極了將展翅飛翔的生命。梵克雅寶它悄然承載著自然的萬象,流傳於每個世紀不變的價值。
Since its founding, nature has remained the heart of Van Cleef & Arpels’ creative universe. Flowers, butterflies, foliage and delicate wings have long shaped the Maison’s poetic aesthetic, expressing an enduring fascination with the beauty of the natural world. This philosophy was already beautifully embodied in the iconic Ludo bracelet, first introduced in the 1930s. Composed of meticulously interwoven 18K yellow gold links arranged in the Maison’s signature brick-pattern motif, the bracelet transforms solid gold into a supple ribbon that drapes with the effortless fluidity of haute couture fabric. Beneath the brilliance of the summer sun, its finely textured surface glows with a warm golden radiance, while white gold edges set with brilliant diamonds lend the design an added dimension of light and refinement. If the Ludo bracelet celebrates the artistry of gold itself, the Bouquet de papillons ring reveals Van Cleef & Arpels’ enduring gift for capturing nature in motion.
A timeless emblem of happiness and transformation, the butterfly has become one of the Maison’s most beloved motifs. Set upon a foundation of 18K yellow gold, vibrant emeralds, tsavorites and sapphires weave together the rich greens of a midsummer forest. At its center, a butterfly sculpted in 18K white gold and brilliant diamonds appears poised to take flight, its delicate silhouette brought vividly to life through the interplay of precious gemstones and contrasting metals. More than a jewel, it quietly encapsulates the ever-changing beauty of nature while preserving the timeless values that have defined Van Cleef & Arpels across generations.

CHAUMET
綜觀法國珠寶世家之中,很少有品牌能像 Chaumet 一樣,同時承載皇室歷史與自然美學。皇室歷史與自然從來不是兩條平行的創作脈絡,而是代表Chaumet的品牌精神。
尚美創始人 Nitot 以「自然主義珠寶師」自居,在大自然萬物間,「蜜蜂」與尚美的淵源向來深厚,可追溯至十八世紀,當時蜜蜂因象徵著權力、勤懇和忠誠,與拿破崙所追求的理想不謀而合,尚美便與法國皇室建立深厚連結,尚美身為皇室御用珠寶商,便將這段輝煌的皇家歷史印記與自然萬物的靈動神韻完美交織,當代亦將此文化意義傳承,這份傳承延續至 2025 年的 Bee de Chaumet 系列作品,鑲鑽的流蘇項鍊讓栩栩如生的金雕蜜蜂輕盈停駐於鎖骨間,下方垂墜著以纖細金鍊交織而成的流蘇,擬寫著蜜蜂振翅飛過時留下一縷金燦光芒;耳環則延續同樣的設計理念,以幾何蜂巢圖騰串起靈巧的小蜜蜂與細長流蘇,當光線彿過黃金表面時再次化作流動於光影在夏日咰陽下折射出波光粼粼的蜜糖色澤。Bee de Chaumet 所流傳的,不只是蜜蜂之美,更是一段跨越百餘年的皇室傳承,以及 Chaumet 始終以自然為靈感、以工藝為底蘊的珠寶哲學。
Among France’s great jewelry maisons, few possess a heritage that intertwines imperial history with the poetry of nature as seamlessly as Chaumet. These two inspirations have never existed as separate narratives; together, they form the very foundation of the Maison’s identity.
Founder Marie-Étienne Nitot proudly regarded himself as a “naturalist jeweler.” Of all nature’s creatures, none has held greater significance for Chaumet than the bee. Its connection to the Maison dates back to the eighteenth century, when the bee became a symbol of authority, diligence and loyalty—qualities embraced by Napoleon as emblems of his empire. As the official jeweler to the French court, Chaumet transformed this imperial icon into one of its most enduring creative signatures, where royal heritage and the vitality of the natural world exist in perfect harmony. That legacy lives on in the Bee de Chaumet collection. Introduced in 2025, the diamond-set tassel necklace features a finely sculpted golden bee resting gracefully upon the collarbone, while cascading strands of delicate gold chain evoke the shimmering trail of light left behind as it takes flight. The matching earrings continue the same visual language, combining geometric honeycomb motifs with miniature bees and elongated tassels that sway elegantly with every movement. As light glides across their golden surfaces, warm reflections unfold like liquid honey beneath the midsummer sun, creating an ever-changing play of brilliance. What Bee de Chaumet preserves is far more than the beauty of the bee itself. It is the continuation of a royal legacy spanning centuries, and a reflection of Chaumet’s enduring philosophy—one that finds inspiration in nature while expressing it through exceptional craftsmanship, allowing history and artistry to shine with equal brilliance.

HEARTS ON FIRE
黃金與鑽石,向來是珠寶世界最經典的組合。然對於 HEARTS ON FIRE真正令人著迷的,始終是光。
多年來,品牌專注於鑽石切工本身,相較於克拉數或繁複設計,更在意每一道刻面如何與光線相遇,讓鑽石展現最完整的火彩。這份近乎執著的堅持,也成為 HEARTS ON FIRE 最鮮明的品牌理念。
2026 年推出的 DREAM 系列,回歸珠寶最真實的樣貌,圓潤飽滿的黃K金珠與美鑽交錯排列,黃金溫暖而柔和,鑽石清澈而明亮,兩種截然不同的光感彼此映襯,在簡潔之中流露細膩層次。
襯於頸間自然垂落的鎖骨鍊,大小形狀錯落的金珠點綴其間,鑲嵌其間的美鑽投射在多彩的光影間,不刻意追逐華麗,將舞台留給光本身,讓隨著佩戴者的每一個動作,自然而然地綻放屬於自己的光彩。同系列耳環延續DREAM 系列的設計理念,黃K金珠環抱不同尺寸的圓形美鑽,光暈在金屬與鑽石刻面間自然流轉,映現出黃金與鑽石間融合之美。戒指設計回歸工藝為底蘊的的黃K金戒托相襯中央美鑽,鑲崁的完美比例聚焦於鑽石本身。沒有繁複裝飾,也沒有刻意鋪陳,僅憑黃金與鑽石最經典的對比組合,便足以展現當代珠寶所追求的從容與質感。
Gold and diamonds have long been one of jewelry’s most enduring pairings. Yet for HEARTS ON FIRE, what has always mattered most is neither the precious metal nor the gemstone itself—it is light.
For decades, the House has devoted itself to the pursuit of perfect diamond cutting. Rather than measuring beauty by carat weight or elaborate ornamentation, HEARTS ON FIRE believes true brilliance lies in the way every precisely engineered facet captures and releases light. It is this uncompromising commitment that has become the brand’s defining signature.
Introduced in 2026, the DREAM collection returns jewelry to its purest expression. Rounded yellow gold beads are thoughtfully paired with brilliant diamonds, allowing the warmth of gold and the crystalline clarity of diamonds to complement one another with effortless elegance. Simple in form yet rich in nuance, the collection reveals the quiet sophistication born from balance.
The necklace falls naturally along the collarbone, where yellow gold beads of varying sizes create a graceful rhythm between brilliant diamonds. Rather than relying on dramatic embellishment, the design allows light itself to take center stage, unfolding with every movement of the wearer. Matching earrings continue the same refined language, embracing round brilliant diamonds of different sizes within polished yellow gold spheres, where the brilliance of each stone flows seamlessly into the warmth of precious metal. The ring distills the collection to its essence. A meticulously crafted yellow gold setting frames the center diamond in perfect proportion, directing every gaze toward the stone itself. Free from unnecessary ornamentation or decorative excess, the design demonstrates that the timeless dialogue between gold and diamond is all that is needed to express contemporary elegance with quiet confidence.

CHOW TAI FOOK
周大福 2026 年推出的 「東方霓裳 Chinese Couture」 系列,便從華夏衣冠中這個再熟悉不過的細節出發。其中,「錦結 Ribbon」篇章取材自漢唐時期繫於腰間與髮間的絲帶結,將衣袂飛揚時的柔美線條,化作珠寶創作的靈感,也讓一段跨越千年的東方審美,在當代設計中再次延續。
系列作品以 22K 黃金花絲工藝為核心。纖細金絲層層編結,交織出絲帶自然飄揚的姿態,也展現花絲工藝細膩而富有韌性的質感。頸鍊串連近圓形銀粉紅色南洋珍珠,溫潤珠光與鑽石彼此映襯,讓黃金少了厚重,多了一份近似絲綢的柔軟。耳環延續絲帶交疊的線條,以密鑲鑽石勾勒輕盈輪廓,隨著微微晃動,折射出細緻而含蓄的光采;胸針則將絲帶翻飛的一瞬凝結於方寸之間,黃金與鑽石彼此交織保留著流動的韻律。花絲工藝流傳至今,編織的不只是黃金,更是一段仍持續延伸的文化記憶。周大福沒有刻意複製傳統,而是在保留經典工藝的同時,讓古老的東方美感自然融入當代珠寶。一條絲帶,可以繫起衣襬,也能串起一段流傳千年的文化。
With its 2026 Chinese Couture collection, Chow Tai Fook turns to one of the most familiar details in traditional Chinese dress as the source of inspiration. The Ribbon chapter draws from the silk knots once tied around the waist and woven through elaborate hairstyles during the Han and Tang dynasties. Their graceful movement is reimagined through contemporary jewelry, allowing an aesthetic language cultivated over centuries to continue its journey into the present.
At the heart of the collection lies masterful 22K gold filigree craftsmanship. Delicate strands of gold are meticulously woven and layered to recreate the flowing softness of silk ribbons caught in motion, demonstrating both the refinement and remarkable flexibility of this centuries-old technique. The necklace is accented with near-round silver-pink South Sea pearls whose gentle luster harmonizes beautifully with brilliant diamonds, lending yellow gold an unexpected sense of softness reminiscent of flowing silk. The earrings continue the overlapping ribbon motif through pavé-set diamonds that trace graceful, fluid contours. As they move, they catch the light with quiet elegance rather than overt brilliance. The brooch captures a single fleeting moment of ribbon suspended in midair, preserving its sense of movement through an intricate interplay of gold and diamonds. Filigree has never been merely a technique for shaping gold; it is a craft that preserves cultural memory. Rather than reproducing tradition, Chow Tai Fook reinterprets one of China’s oldest goldsmithing arts through a contemporary lens, allowing centuries of craftsmanship to resonate naturally within modern jewelry design. A ribbon may once have fastened a robe, yet today it also binds together a cultural legacy that continues to endure across generations.

從卡地亞流暢如絲緞的黃金工藝、Tiffany & Co. 對自然生命的敬仰、梵克雅寶的詩意花園、Chaumet 承襲皇室與自然的經典,到 HEARTS ON FIRE 對光芒本質的追求以及周大福將東方工藝重新帶回當代生活,當盛夏終將遠去,真正留下來的,不是陽光,而是黃金與珠寶代替時間延續的光。
From Cartier’s silk-like mastery of gold to Tiffany & Co.’s celebration of nature’s perpetual transformation, from the poetic gardens of Van Cleef & Arpels and Chaumet’s dialogue between imperial heritage and the natural world, to HEARTS ON FIRE’s unwavering pursuit of light and Chow Tai Fook’s contemporary interpretation of Eastern craftsmanship, each Maison offers its own vision of gold’s enduring beauty. When summer’s brilliant sunlight gradually gives way to another season, what lingers is not the light itself, but the radiance that has been entrusted to high jewelry. Through the artistry of gold, gemstones and extraordinary craftsmanship, these fleeting moments of sunlight are transformed into something far more enduring—timeless expressions of beauty that continue to shine long after the season has passed.
