High Jewellery is the Haute Couture of the jewellery world
Vivienne Becker
Both High Jewellery and High Fashion enjoy similar synergies which exemplify the best of creativity and materials and draw on the highest level of imaginative skills; both fashion categories also share the definition of their status with the identification of a precise boundary between luxury
product and work of art. And yet, goldsmith art in its highest form, does not limit itself to stimulating the fantasy and the imagination but, besides keeping alive the tradition of ancient craftsmanship, favours the investments in the market of the sector to which it offers a tangible and available product over the long term. The high jewellery products identify with the models created by the great Maisons, almost always unique pieces, rendered particularly costly due to the quality materials used, the accurate workmanship and the great signatures that distinguish them. The distinctive characteristics of high jewellery are represented primarily by the quality and size of diamonds and of the precious stones selected,
