The Swiss luxury watchmakers and jewellers, founded in 1874 by Georges Piaget in the village of La Côte-aux-Féesand looks to the Mediterranean for its high jewellery collection.
Celebrating the free spirit of the 1960s and 1970s, the Extremely Piaget Mediterranean Garden collection recalls a stellar period of creativity and innovation in the history of the Maison, marked by an explosion of colour and new shapes, and enhanced by the most precious materials: diamonds, colourful stones and exquisite gold.
During these carefree years, with its bold creations, Piaget established itself as the brand of choice for celebrities and the international jet set who enjoyed the glamour of life on the Riviera, and regularly frequented its extraordinary parties, some organised by Mr Piaget himself.
Finding inspiration in its rich heritage, the new Piaget Mediterranean Garden collection brings a contemporary twist to the captivating lifestyle of the Riviera with its elegant festivities and stylish fashions. Exploring the elaborate marriage of brilliant stones and intricate gold techniques, these surprising designs for the sophisticated modern woman embody the distinctive elegance associated with Mediterranean living since the 1960s.
With the same boldness that captivated the most stylish personalities of the era, Piaget Mediterranean Garden brings to life the beauty of blooming roses, palm trees and shimmering waters in a style that is uniquely Piaget, masterfully combining the fine art of gold-smithing and the expertise of gem-setting to create seductive pieces.
The collection is characterised by two jewellery techniques - twisted gold-smithing and marquise-cut stones - expertly mastered by the Maison. Made popular in the 1960s and 1970s, Piaget has continued to evolve them, developing increasingly complex methods to reach new heights in perfection.
The outstanding piece of the collection, the Twisted Gold cuff, is created using a single gold wire, rather than two, twisted upon itself.
