High Jewellery
Deriving from (And an exact translation of) the French term Haute Joaillerie, the term high jewellery encompasses in broad terms superb, one-of-a-kind, high quality creations in the domain of fine jewelry.. It is presumably spelled in the British English to preserve its rank as a European entity pioneered by the most reputable European (French, Swiss, Italian, etc.) designers such as Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, Chaumet, Bucheron, Givenchy, Chanel in France, Chopard in Switzerland, Buccellati and Bvlgari in Italy, and others. By the same token, we speak of 'Haute Couture' when referring to the highest rank of design and tailoring in the clothing industry. Jewelry Items termed as 'high jewellery' depict a variety of motifs and very often Nature and themes related thereto. It is understandable that the unique beauty of Nature exalted by the refinement of jewelry can produce the captivating one-of-a-kind creations: Light and colors of the 4 seasons, not to mention the emotions they stir in the human heart which inspire ideas and stunning designs.. For example, in the Haute Joillerie workshops of the Geneva-based Maison Chopard, the beauty of snow covering the landscape or the glow of an endless summer sunshine inspires the craft masters to convert it into magnificent pieces of jewelry. Chopard's creations have long been known as integral part of the proud European High Jewellery tradition.
