An exquisite necklace set with Paraiba tourmalines shining as the new star of Chopard's High Jewelery collection

Caroline Scheufele presents a new necklace studded with diamonds and a rare blue Paraiba tourmaline, which she recently added to her glamorous creations of Precious Lace. This necklace flows over the well of the woman who wears it like a soft ribbon of lace, giving it flashes of glamorous allure, while its sparkling, hollow motifs are punctuated by glimpses of distant bays whose shores undulate with clear blue waters. This necklace combines a unique design with rare gemstones.

Under the roof of the Maison’s workshops, Caroline Scheufele, Co-President and Artistic Director of Chopard, made sure that at the center of this exceptional masterpiece was a 34,63-carat Paraiba tourmaline imported from

Mozambique, especially as this special stone is famous for its rare turquoise blue color and is one of the most sought after and popular types of tourmaline. In addition to this precious stone, exquisite arrangements of pear- and circular-cut diamonds alternate, adding dazzling luster to the structure of the new necklace made of gold and titanium.

This necklace is currently for private sale at Sotheby's, which is renowned for its expertise and display of the world's finest jewelry.

Since its creation, the Precious Lace collection has been distinguished by its splendid interlacing motifs that combine the luster and vitality of precious stones, giving their creations magical effects. The delicacy and softness of the hollowed-out motifs are reflected in the curves of the masterpieces created by the skilled hands of the goldsmiths, to be evident through the inlays of lightweight gemstones, and the distinctive structural lines of this collection that bridge the bridges between the two worlds of luxury jewelry or haute couture. These classic and modern lines at the same time, with their precision and consistency, have become a distinctive imprint of the Maison's creations as an embodiment of the Maison's ancient expertise and creative genius in the field of jewelry making.
