5 Things to Know About Piaget's New High Jewellery Collection, Shapes of Extraleganza
In the sculptural heart of Barcelona's Casa Corberó, Piaget unveiled the second chapter of its high jewellery trilogy: Shapes of Extraleganza . More than a showcase of dazzling craftsmanship, the collection is a manifesto for the Maison's evolving identity—where elegance meets exuberance, and jewellery becomes a playground of shape, colour, and artistic ambition. The star-studded unveiling drew brand ambassadors and friends of the Maison including Amber Valletta, Ella Richards, Gianna Jun, Apo Nattawin, and Junho Lee, reinforcing Piaget's connection to global style and cultural influence. 'Piaget is getting closer to its own vision,' says Jean-Bernard Forot, Head of Patrimony. 'A vision where there is no border between watches and jewellery—they are both art.' With 51 avant-garde creations, this latest chapter pays tribute to Piaget's radical past, while boldly stepping into the future of wearable art.
1. It's a tribute to art, artists — and the Piaget Society
With Shapes of Extraleganza , Piaget continues to honour its deep, personal connection to the art world. The Maison's longstanding creative relationships with cultural icons — Salvador Dalí, Andy Warhol, and Arman among them — were born not from strategy but friendship, evolving naturally from the cosmopolitan "Piaget Society" of the 60s and 70s. 'The Piaget family developed a true connection with artists,' says Jean-Bernard Forot, Head of Patrimony. 'Even artists from the movie industry and sports. That's what made this society of Piaget so inclusive, mixing people from different backgrounds.' Today, that spirit of collaboration continues, as the Maison works closely with contemporary artists to push the boundaries of high jewellery design.
2. It's an explosion of geometry, colour, and cultural references
The collection is a dynamic mix of sculptural form and visual surprise—shapes within shapes, curves clashing with zigzags, and playful nods to Pop Art, Op Art, and the Memphis movement. With 51 pieces across several suites, Piaget revives ornamental stones like rhodochrosite and sugilite in bold, mosaic-like settings, while introducing rare black opals and fiery garnets in complex, wearable architectures.
'We tried to balance exploration of stylistic elements with wearability,' says Forot. 'Whatever it is, the idea is to balance the surprise — what makes you smile when you discover a new piece from Piaget — with comfort and ease.' From striped collars to secret watch rings, it's jewellery that makes a statement while staying true to its purpose.

It's a Full-On Hunk Summit at the Spring Men's Shows
Skip to main content From Theo James to Harris Dickinson—see all the stars in attendance at the spring 2026 menswear shows in Europe Men's fashion month is off to a star-studded start. This week, the spring 2026 menswear shows kicked off in Milan (followed soon by Paris)—with labels such as Prada, Emporio Armani, and Paul Smith kicking things off on a stylish note. As always, an A-list crowd of celebrities have also touched down in the Italian city for all of the action; the front rows are always as much of a fashion spectacle as the runways, after all. The Prada presentation saw a number of dapper gents turn out for the affair. Call it a full-on hunk summit: Actors Harris Dickinson (a true Prada boy and face), Riz Ahmed, Benito Skinner, and more all showed up in their best fitted polos and slouchy dress trousers. At Dolce & Gabbana, White Lotus star Theo James also brought his impeccable suiting game to the function, while Will Poulter did a shirt-and-tie combo in a fresh butter yellow. Sure, the shows ahead will be a prime display of chic menswear outfits—but it is the array of collective internet boyfriends that will be worth tuning in for. So, be sure to check back here to see if your favorite Hollywood leading men make a cameo. With buzzy presentations including Saint Laurent and Dior (where Jonathan Anderson will make his debut!) still to come, you won't want to miss them. Below, see the star sightings from the spring 2026 men's shows in Europe.

Summer Sparkle: The Jewellery Collections On Our Radar
There's no denying it. Jewellery just looks better against sun-kissed skin, tousled beach hair, and the soft waft of warm air caressing haute metals. A touch of gold, a sprinkle of diamond, a flash of ruby to set it all off. With summer comes a season of moments—weddings, alfresco dinners, or simply sitting outside, musing on the wonder of it all. Naturally, we want you to look the part, so we've gathered the most exciting jewellery launches and collections to dazzle your nights and add some sheen to your days. Summer doesn't last forever. Let's make sure we light it up. Aligned and adorned, all chakra's in place With wedding season officially among us, the stars align so to speak, as Noor Fares also enters her wedding era. Naturally, she's brought the chakras along for the ride. Anahata , named after the heart chakra, is an 11-piece collection of engagement rings and eternity bands that exude serenity. 'I launched the Anahata rings to coincide with my own 10th wedding anniversary,' Fares shares, adding a personal touch to the cosmic collection. True to her signature style, the designs feature eye emblems, moon eclipses and rainbow sapphires, weaving sacred geometry into wedding bands that are both symbolic and breathtaking. Each stone is sustainably sourced and spiritually charged, with diamonds at the forefront, representing love, clarity and strength. 'The special touches of my wedding day inspired me to create this collection. I wanted to transform those intimate details into timeless pieces that can be worn every day.' Now, who wouldn't want a little of that magic woven into their own nuptials? Ajna Rainbow Band AED 13,823 Nirvana Rainbow Band AED 18,850 Spiral i nto control Diamonds have long shed their formality. But leave it to Delfina Delettrez to twist them into a lateral conversation with nature. Curlicues, coils, snails, and seashells — the Loop collection takes a turn for the spectacular. 'I like to imagine the woman wearing these pieces feeling deeply feminine, wrapped in soft, fluid forms that embrace her with grace,' explains Delettrez from her studio in Rome. Known for her surrealist approach to jewellery and a boutique that doubles as a cabinet of curiosities, Delfina Delettrez revisits classic pieces—diamond-studded tennis bracelets and drop earrings—deconstructs them and reintroduces them as spiraling, supple creations. In the Loop collection, a heroic necklace hugs the collarbone in an astral constellation of diamonds, while cocktail rings curl inward in a glittering vortex. Earrings are looped around themselves, now unfurling with gold as part of a new formation. 'It's a delicate balance between softness and statement, between subtle beauty and magnetic presence…In every motion, the wearer becomes the source of a luminous, ever-shifting aura' she adds. Part organic, part otherworldly, Delfina's Loop curios are, quite literally, out of this world. Imagine them thrown on casually with jeans and a white tee, or as the centrepiece of an evening gown. Either way, divine. Loop Necklace AED 261,796 Luck in numbers Chanel loyalists are in for a quiet thrill. Number 5 — Chanel's forever muse. Her lucky number, the name of the perfume, the timing of the shows, and the secret locked in the 2.55 clasp. Now, that iconic numeral lends its graphic weight to a new fine jewellery collection. Not a throwback. Not a tribute. Just Chanel doing what it does best: making the familiar feel entirely new.
