Movement and freedom are hallmarks of the Chanel brand, and the latest jewelry collection is no exception.

Gucci’s Labirinti collection was inspired by the structured labyrinths of Italian gardens, so it’s only fitting that this statement-making bracelet, with its exquisite coloring and arresting center stone, is exhibited with a nod to the natural beauty that inspired it.

Hermès’ latest haute bijouterie collection, designed by creative director of jewelry Pierre Hardy, celebrates color and form with amorphous shapes combined with stones in radiant hues.
