Happy Hearts
A playful way to declare love
As a Maison with the ambition to deliver emotions through jewellery, the sentiment of love, which moves us all, has a special place at Chopard. It is no coincidence that the heart motif has become a signature element of Happy Hearts’ style and identity, symbolising the core values that define Chopard and its ethos. Big-hearted women will thus find the perfect talisman in these new ethical gold pendants featuring a large heart in either onyx or mother-of-pearl surrounded by a diamond setting or with two full-diamond options.
A meaningful symbol
The Happy Hearts pendant is a truly heartfelt piece, designed to capture the joy of love and encourage wearers to spread this sentiment, while also serving as a reminder to care for others. The collection welcomes four new designs crafted in ethical gold. Each pendant showcases a central heart motif available in pure mother-of-pearl, bold black onyx, or diamond pavé-set white or rose gold, topped with a smaller heart twinkling with a dancing diamond.
Designed for both everyday wear and special occasions, the pendant’s versatile nature makes it an ideal choice. It can be worn alone for classic, understated elegance or layered with other pieces from the Happy Hearts collection for a unique, personalised touch.
Sparkling details
With these iterations, there is an elegant, subtle new addition on the mother-of-pearl and onyx versions, which feature a delicate diamond border for an extra touch of brilliance. More effervescent sparkle is offered by the fully pavé-set versions which Chopard’s artisans masterfully craft using snow setting, a technique that maximises the diamond’s light and creates a dynamic effect, as the diamonds of varying diameters are irregularly set side by side to entirely conceal the gold surface beneath. Playing on a variation of gemstone sizes, each arrangement is different and therefore unique, just like the woman wearing one of these pieces of jewellery.
The pendant also features a clever double-sided design, with the reverse side presenting a polished gold motif tracing the large ‘C’ for Chopard and offering multiple styling options.
L’Heure du Diamant
Symbolism and craftsmanship
As a Maison with the ambition to deliver emotions through jewellery, the sentiment of love and the power of life have a special place at Chopard. The heart motif is not only one of its most cherished designs but also embodies its values of generosity and sustainable commitment. Through these new pendant and matching earrings from L’Heure du Diamant collection, Chopard sublimates this motif with a dazzling craftsmanship and a sparkling of diamonds like no others. The diamond-heart beats to the rhythm of an exquisite crown-setting technique, a Chopard innovation making jewellery glitter in a perpetual feast.
Chopard elevates the iconic heart motif into new pieces of jewellery that exude exquisite goldsmithing and gem setting expertise, and, through the brilliance of diamonds, conveys the splendour of love. The heart shape, a timeless symbol of affection that speaks the universal language of love across cultures and generations, is rendered in its most precious form, making L’Heure du Diamant new pendant and matching earrings an heirloom to be treasured and passed down to loved ones.
A new parure
The pendant features a heart-shaped centrepiece adorned with brilliant-cut diamonds, meticulously crafted using Chopard’s crown-setting technique. Invented by Karl Scheufele – chairman of Chopard – this signature method, which features V-shaped prongs, enhances light reflection, thus giving the diamonds a more radiant appearance.
Only the purest, most luminous diamonds are chosen by the workshops to adorn their creations. Karin Scheufele – Karl Scheufele’s wife – herself oversees the choice of stones that will adorn the watches and jewellery. Her infallible eye enables instant recognition of the stones that will best enhance these exceptional creations.
Made with ethical gold, as all Chopard watch and jewellery creations since July 2018, these new jewels reflect Chopard’s commitment to sustainable luxury.
L’Heure du Diamant collection also welcomes a beautifully designed pair of matching earrings — a new, smaller-sized variation of a celebrated design previously presented in Chopard’s Haute Joaillerie collection. The reduced size was introduced as a more comfortable, versatile design and adds to the offer a complete parure of earrings and pendant.
Conceived for the most sophisticated occasions, L’Heure du Diamant combines timeless elegance with versatility. Its timeless, yet contemporary design perfectly complements an evening gown and adds a touch of glamour to daytime attire. “L’Heure du Diamant collection epitomises the jewellery-making expertise of Chopard’s workshosps,” says Caroline Scheufele, Co-President and Artistic Director of Chopard. “It’s a celebration of love, life, beauty, and elegance.”
Accessories
Outstanding expertise
Chopard’s watchmaking and jewellery creativity has also been expressed for many years through an accessory collection in which the Maison’s concern for detail and quest for perfection are matched by the expertise of its Artisans and the nobility of the selected materials.
The Maison’s entire world is thus reflected in elegant bags, writing instruments, silk scarves and cashmere stoles, as well as leather goods, decorative objects, games and fragrances.
The iconic designs of Chopard watches and jewellery inspire these precious objects crafted in the finest European workshops. All the partners involved in these exceptional creations are chosen for the skills they demonstrate in their respective fields, as well as the transparency of their sourcing and production circuit.
As a pioneer of ethical gold and of its exclusive Lucent SteelTM alloy made using at least 80% recycled steel, as well as being a member of the Responsible Jewellery Council, Chopard has long since made a priority of social and environmental responsibility, instilling a sustainable, human-focused dimension into its highly desirable creations.
