With its combination of unexpected materials and savoir faire, Piaget brings the world some much needed light and lightness.
It was at an exhibition of Belgian artist Jan Fabre’s work that marquetry artist Rose Saneuil first thought of including beetle elytra, the creature’s shimmering and protective forewings, in her own practice. “I liked the iridescence,” says Saneuil, who has once again applied her mastery of multi-material marquetry to a collaboration with Piaget for Extraordinary Lights, its new high jewellery collection.

Saneuil’s Celestial Dance watches form part of the collection’s third chapter – entitled Infinite Lights, this instalment captures the golden hour, when at dawn, night and day briefly meet. It includes a striking necklace that can be worn in nine ways and which is set with landmark gems including a cushion-cut Fancy Vivid yellow diamond, a pear-shaped Sri Lankan blue sapphire and matching red spinel from Tanzania.
