Among the standout launches at Couture Week 2026 was Repossi’s latest evolution of its Serti sur Vide collection, a series that strips the traditional solitaire back to its essence by making the gemstone appear to float directly against the skin. The collection takes its inspiration from one of jewellery’s simplest rituals: the moment a gemologist holds a stone between their fingertips to examine its brilliance before setting it.
“The collection draws its essence from the instinctive gesture of the gemologist, who places a stone between the fingertips to observe its clarity and brilliance before setting,” a brand statement said. “This simple yet meaningful ritual inspired the Serti sur Vide, a contemporary reinvention of the timeless solitaire.”

Throughout Couture Week we noted a renewed emphasis on gemstones themselves rather than elaborate settings, and Repossi’s latest creations reflect that shift. Using the Maison’s signature “Eiffel Tower” setting, each pear-shaped diamond appears suspended on the skin, allowing light to pass through the stone and maximise its brilliance.
New additions
The collection expands with four new diamond pieces: a double ring, ear cuff, earrings and brooch. The double ring creates the illusion of diamonds floating between the fingers, building on the architectural language established by Repossi’s Twin ring. The ear cuff and earrings introduce a cascading arrangement that emphasises movement and fluidity, while the brooch has been designed as a gender-neutral piece that transitions easily from day to evening wear.
Repossi also introduces a new Fancy Serti sur Vide series, bringing colour into the collection through three rings and two pairs of earrings set with cushion-cut and marquise gemstones. Rather than relying on intricate design, the coloured stones themselves become the focal point.

Celebrating Place Vendôme
The launch also marks the 40th anniversary of Repossi’s Place Vendôme boutique. To celebrate the milestone, the Maison has created four exclusive pieces featuring gradients of indicolite tourmalines, green tourmalines and aquamarines. The palette was inspired by the oxidised copper tones reflected in the Vendôme Column, with the gemstones selected for the way they capture and refract light.
London’s flagship summer art fair is back at Royal Hospital Chelsea with rediscovered treasures from British history, the highest chivalric honour of the Spanish Crown, and pieces from Cartier and a host of other leading Houses.
We broke down all the details you need to know, from the must-see highlights to the newcomers on the block:
What is Treasure House Fair?
Treasure House Fair is an art fair which displays some of the most precious and relevant pieces from the now and throughout history.
It was founded by Thomas Woodham-Smith and Harry Van der Hoorn he co-founders of Masterpiece (2009-2022), in 2023. Following Masterpiece’s closure, they created the Treasure House Fair and had it brought to life in less than six months.
The Treasure House Fair is described as: “the rare and the beautiful, the historic and the cutting-edge, the interdisciplinary art fair blends items of quintessentially British character with hand-picked treasures from around the world.”
It brings the new and the old together to showcase galleries at the peak of all their disciplines. The works are vetted by independent experts and then expertly curated so the displays take the visitors on a journey through the antique to the modern.
Whats on show?
Rosior marks their first-ever participation in a European fair. The highly-respected Portuguese jewellers will present some of the House’s most recognisable and emblematic design along with new creations.
S.J. Phillips, London, beloved by the likes of Anna Wintour, are showcasing the 16th Duke of Alba’s order of the golden-fleece, the highest Spanish chivalric Honour.

It is a diamond, sapphire, and ruby full order with stickpin and medal miniature which was commissioned in 1900 from Chaumet. The Duke of Alba was the nephew of Empress Eugénie, wife of Napoleon III, Carlos María Fitz-James Stuart y Portocarrero y Palafox XVI Duke of Alba de Tormes.
The fair also features a Mourning Ring for Edward IV (1442-1483), Richard III’s brother, beautiful pieces from the 18th century, along with a host of Cartier pieces from the 1900’s.
Two British Historic Jewels Rediscovered
Two very different pieces from British history which have been rediscovered will be on display.
Sir Thomas Aston’s Hamet-era mourning jewel – Credit: Treasure House Fair
The first is from Martyn Downer, specialist dealer in historic objects and works of art, who has conceived his stand as an exploration of death in the time of Shakespeare.
The whole stand will be devoted to a piece of Hamnet-era mourning jewel which has been identified after four centuries.
The hear-shaped pendant was made to commemorate the death of Sir Thomas Aston’s six-year-old son, Robert, who died in 1634. It features a tassel of the child’s blonde hair, the site demonstrating the different traditions in death throughout history.
Despite the jewel being depicted in the life-size 1635 masterpiece Sir Thomas Aston at the Deathbed of His Wife by John Souch, now in the collection of Manchester Art Gallery, it’s true meaning and importance has only been unveiled through the discovery of the actual pendant.
The heart-shaped pendant is enamelled in black and white and features with a death’s head skull and inscriptions in Latin on both sides. The translation reads: ‛Your Robert died 4th May 1634’ (front) / ‘In whom was our delight, through whom was our consolation, with whom the hope of his parents first perished’ (reverse).
Sir Thomas Tresham’s Signet Ring, circa 1557 – Credit: Treasure House Fair
The second is Sir Thomas Tresham’s Signet Ring, circa 1557, presented by Greens of Cheltenham, London.
This gold and crystal ring is one of the last physical objects which represents a family whose name faded from history after being implicated in the Gunpowder Plot of 1605.
The ring was likely intended to be worn over a gloved thumb due to its large nature. It belonged to Sir Thomas Tresham (d.1559), a knight and one of England’s most ardent Catholic recusants. The ring was made fir him and he was a known close confidant of Henry VIII and Queen Anne. He carried out some of the monarchs’ most delicate and historically relevant missions – including welcoming Henry’s fourth wife, Anne of Clèves, at Calais.
When and where can i find it?
The Treasure House Fair will take place from the 24th to 30th of June at Royal Hospital Chelsea, South Grounds London, SW3 4SR. More details can be found over on their website.

A yellow gold cuff punctuated with diamonds takes the vibrancy to the next level with a playful rainbow-hued lacquer gradient.
This is the most unique and exclusive piece in the collection, only available at Dior boutiques.
The History of My Dior
The first My Dior collection was unveiled in 2012 and it has continued to grow ever since.
The cannage motif used resembles a weaving pattern seen on the Napoleon III chairs used across Christian Dior’s first shows. The pattern has come to reflect the heritage of the House.
This new collection uses it in the statement pendants and more playful colourful pieces such as the gold, diamond, and rainbow bracelet, showing the savoir-faire of the Ateliers.
In Other Dior News:
Dior have unveiled their latest high jewellery collection – Diorissima. Following on from last years standout Diorexquis collection Diorissima is a new collection of 141pieces. Shown at one of Italy’s most romantic settings amongst a backdrop of diamonds, gems and couture, the models wore the jewels alongside specially created gowns by Jonathan Anderson. Meanwhile a gala dinner and runway presentation transformed the Palazzo del Casinò into a glittering celebration of the house.
But for all the carved emeralds, pink spinels and seven-carat diamonds, the most fascinating story behind Diorissima is not about the jewels themselves. It’s about a forgotten chapter of Christian Dior’s life.
Dior describes the collection as a tribute to the art of collage and to the artists admired by Monsieur Dior. On first read of the press release this sounds like familiar luxury-house mythology. However, there was more to M. Dior than the ‘New Look’. Before he became Christian Dior the brand and fashion designer, Christian Dior was an art dealer.

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust in Manchester was the Princess off Wales’ latest royal engagement as to highlight the important work done at the cancer centre.
For the engagement, the Princess of Wales wore a pair of bespoke Vanleles diamond earrings, featuring the very important symbol of the bee.
The bee is synonymous with Manchester and has become a regular favourite of Kate’s during visits to the city. The symbol represents the history of Manchester as a city of industry and hard-working people.
During the visit, she met with young people undergoing chemotherapy and learned about the methods used within the hospital to help those during treatment.
The hub offers free holistic therapies to the over 60,000 patients it cares for each year. A host of other related therapies are available to the patients ranging from helping with stress and fear to anxiety and depression.

She first donned the honeycomb bee hoop earrings in 2022 during the opening of the Glade of Light Memorial at Manchester Cathedral.
The memorial commemorates victims of the terrorist attack in 2017 which took place after an Ariana Grande concert at Manchester Arena.
The House aims to express the voice of the African continent in the world of fine jewellery. It is is favoured by many high profile figures including Her Majesty Queen Rania of Jordan and Rihanna.
When it comes to the diamonds in their jewels, VANLELES has a ‘strict policy’ of only using suppliers which comply with the Kimberly Process Certification Scheme (KPCS). This scheme monitors diamond trading to ensure that diamonds do not come any illegitimate sources or areas experiencing conflict.
A rare Patek Philippe Ref. 2499 First Series in pink gold was auctioned in Asia for the first time and established a new world auction record for the timepiece – check it out below.
Phillips, in association with Bacs & Russo, auctioned off the rare Patek Philippe Ref. 2499 First Series in pink gold on May 30th and the sale itself proved to be historic.
Not only was this the first time one of these timepieces has been offered at auction in Asia, it now marks the most expensive timepiece ever sold at auction in the region.

How much did it sell for?
The watch sold for a record breaking HK$80,370,000 [US$10,255,21] which is also a world auction record for the Patek Philippe Ref. 2499.
At time of writing only five wristwatches have ever been sold for over US$10 million at non-charitable auction. These peices were all sold by Phillips, across New York, Geneva, and Hong Kong.
What is special about this Patek Philippe Ref. 2499 First Series in pink gold?

The timepiece was first introduced in 1951 and has since been celebrated as one of the most iconic pieces ever created due to it’s complicated design.
When it comes to the First Series, it was offered in both yellow and pink gold. Over a 35-year production run only 349 examples were produced. The pink gold examples only featured the extremely coveted Vichet case on a total of just four wristwatches.
The specific timepiece which was sold at this auction featured a unique distinction. It is the only known Ref. 2499 First Series in pink gold stamped with British hallmarks.
Manufactured in 1951, imported to London in 1955, and sold in 1956, the case back bears both a British import mark and a Swiss hallmark.
It is stamped with both the London “U” date letter and the “Ω” import mark for 18K gold, meaning the rarity was heightened even further for such a piece.
How does this compare to other Phillips sales?
This adds to the list of Phillips record breaking auction statistics.
When it comes to success with Patek Philipe, they are no strangers. In November 2015, they sold a Patek Philippe reference 1518 in stainless steel for US$17,631,075. This was the highest result achieved for a vintage Patek Philipe at auction.
They have also had great success with celebrity watches as seen in October 2017. At an auction in New York they sold Paul Newman’s Rolex “Paul Newman” Daytona reference 6239 for a massive US$17,752,500. This marked the highest result which has ever been achieved for a vintage wristwatch at auction.
The summer launch of Blue Book 2026: Hidden Garden is a celebration of vibrant gemstones and sculptural work to bring to life the beauty of nature in the world of jewellery.
The Collection Inspiration
The collection was designed by Nathalie Verdeille, Senior Vice President – Chief Artistic Officer, Tiffany & Co., alongside the Tiffany Design Studio.
Pieces have been created as reinterpretations of the iconic imagery first presented by Tiffany & Co.’s legendary designer Jean Schlumberger.
Vibrancy and liveliness sit at the heart of this collection with a range of textures, shapes, and shades to celebrate the planet’s vast array of nature.
Flora and fauna have been transformed into necklaces, rings, timepieces and more through sculptural silhouettes which have been brought to life through use of gemstones and extraordinary savoir faire.
What does the collection feature?
The collection can be explained in 5 sections: Raffia, Blossom, Daisy, Paradise Bird Brooches, and the Paradise Bird Toucan Watch.

The Raffia pieces are sculpturally inspired by the leaves on the Raphia Farinifera palm. The pieces feature deep tanzanites which have a rich blue-violet colour and are accented by brilliant rubies. The Raffia is mimicked through strands of platinum and 18k yellow gold with diamond accents.
Tanzanite has been present throughout Tiffany & Co. designs since it’s first introduction in 1968. As a nod to Jean Schlumberger’s signature twisted rope technique, each element across the pieces is anchored against two rope-like chains.

The Blossom pieces centre cabochon rubellites which the House expressed were: “selected for their rich, juicy red hue, [which] evokes the heart of a rare, blooming flower.”
These pieces mimic a bouquet and use more playful patterns to appear as if they are blooming across the skin of the wearer. The foundation of the pieces are formed by gold flowers, with platinum petals with cut-down pavé settings to give it more structure and enhance the floral feel. The accents are diamond-set gold described as a way to add ‘depth and brilliance’ to the pieces.

The Daisy pieces feature emerald-cut blue zircons alongside emerald cabochons. There is a clear focus on the movement of the petals in these variations as the shape of the necklace especially displays.
The variations in curvature are inspired by Jean Schlumberger’s design language. Diamond accents add to the textured surfaces which results in a balanced structure with natural movement.
Inspired by the House’s emblematic Bird on a Rock, the Paradise Bird Brooches feature fantastical vibrant birds atop bold gemstones. Australian boulder opals, chrysoprase, American chrysocolla and Nigerian spessartine were all selected by the House due to their vivid hues. Carved and faceted stones, paillonné enamel and diamonds brings each of the one-of-a-kind designs to life.

Finally, the Paradise Bird Toucan Watch reflects a miniature tropical display through use of magnificent gemstones, enamel artistry, gold sculpting, and gem-setting. The design shows a toucan bird is perched on a richly coloured chalcedony cabochon. The bird and dial sit on enamel foliage which is all hand painted across three coats which rests on four layers of opaque blue enamel. The dial itself requires over 80 hours of high-precision work to create.
Jennifer Lopez was dressed in a set of Harry Winston jewels for the New York Premiere of her newest film Office Romance.
Jennifer Lopez’s Harry Winston Diamonds at the Office Romance Premiere
The star of both the screen and the music scene wore diamonds from Harry Winston’s Cluster Collection whilst walking the carpet.
She wore the 12.9 carat Winston Cluster Diamond Cascading Earrings set in platinum which feature 18 round brilliant, 12 pear-shaped and 10 marquise diamonds.
On her arms she wore the Winston Cluster Diamond Bracelet, approx. 30.2 carats, set in platinum paired with the Winston Cluster Diamond Ring, approx. 4.2 carats, set in platinum.
Harry Winston cluster setting
The Harry Winston Cluster setting is fiendishly difficult to execute, requiring the grouping together of various cut and shapes of diamonds, including pear, marquise and round brilliants. Set in what appears to be an irregular pattern, each of these stones has in fact been positioned with mathematical precision to reflect light from every direction, resulting in a dazzling sparkle (ensuring the design remains a red carpet favourite to this day). And that’s exactly why Jenny from the Block was wearing Harry Winston.
The pioneering American jeweller had a simple-yet-stunningly-effective technique for ensuring his jewels were as spectacular as possible: the diamonds should dictate the design, not the other way around. One Winter’s evening in 1940 Winston was standing in front of a holly wreath on the door of his Scarsdale home when he was struck by the way icy crystals of snow and frost had formed on its leaves.
To realise the design Winston turned to his talented head designer, Nevdon Koumrouyan. Koumrouyan designed mostly in pencil or gouache, translating Winston’s diamond-first philosophy into fluid, multi-dimensional jewel. The cluster has been worn by Hollywood stars wanting to make a big impression ever since.
Harry Winston at the Golden Globes
We have previously counted down some of Jennifer Lopez’s greatest jewellery moments and this one is surely to be added to the list. Lopez previously wore Harry Winston to the Golden Globes back in 2016, offsetting her sunshine-coloured gown with over 200 carats of sparkling Harry Winston diamonds, including a cuff, a wreath necklace and a cascading drop necklace with a twist.
Office Romance is a rom-com which stars Lopez as Jackie, the President and CEO of Air Cruz. She stars alongside actor, writer, and comedian Brett Goldstein who plays her love interest Daniel, an ambitious lawyer.
The Netflix film has been written by Goldstein and fellow comedy writer Joe Kelly, known for shows such as Ted Lasso and How I Met Your Mother.
The film follows Jackie and Daniel as they navigate a secret office relationship due to Jackie’s anti-fraternisation policy for all her employees, out on June 5th on Netflix.
The exhibition titled Pomellato, Le Joaillier Révolutionnaire has been curated by Alba Cappellieri, Head of Jewelry Design at Politecnico di Milano.
On the exhibition, Sabina Belli, CEO of Pomellato Group, shared: “Pomellato was born in an era of profound transformation. Across society, culture, and the arts, a new consciousness was emerging, one in which women claimed greater freedom, independence, and visibility”, remarks
“In the creative fervor that powered Italian prêt-à-porter and the international rise of Milanese design, Pomellato pioneered an equally transformative vision of jewelry: refined, sensual, and unmistakably contemporary. This beautifully curated exhibition celebrates the Maison’s avant-guard approach to creative design, craftsmanship, femininity and image-making.”
We broke down all the details of the exhibition, how to attend, and more below:
What does the exhibition feature?

Each Pomellato revolution is featured in it’s own section: The Revolution of Image, The Revolution of Craftsmanship: Iconic Chains, The Revolution of Style: Sculptural Volumes, The Revolution of Color: Audacious Gems, and The Empowering Revolution: Pomellato for Women.
The exhibition focuses on the jewellery and imagery that has evolved throughout the Maison’s history.
As the jewellery Maison was the first of it’s kind to work alongside leading industry photographers to capture their visual language, the exhibition presents their work and how Pomellato’s imagery has evolved throughout their history.
On the revolution of the photography, Vincenzo Castaldo, Creative Director of Pomellato, remarked: “I have always admired Pomellato’s bold and forward thinking decision to entrust the narrative of its jewelry to the greatest Masters of Photography. Their creative vision, over the years, has captured the brand’s unmistakable identity through images that remain timeless and indelible.”
Photographer’s featured are: Gian Paolo Barbieri, Helmut Newton, Albert Watson, Horst P. Horst, Snowdon, Javier Vallhonrat, and Michel Comte and, for the first time, images by Herb Ritts within the story that traces the Maison’s evolving vision of the Pomellato woman, decade after decade.
Curator Alba Cappellieri, shared “In the 1960s, the world of jewellery was deeply traditional, both in its aesthetic language and in its symbolic meanings. Pomellato broke with convention, transforming forms, materials, techniques, behaviours and the social symbolism. The exhibition is devoted to these revolutions and to the photographers’ discerning eyes that so masterfully captured and narrated them.”
The one-of-a-kind Louis Vuitton Unity Time Object has been created as a marker of the 10-year partnership between the House and UNICEF.
Inspired by the world of sport, the time piece’s design comes from the House’s recognisable Monogram canvas ball through a further artistic lens. The auction will support UNICEF’s vital life-saving humanitarian work for vulnerable children.
As Matthieu Hegi, La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton artistic director, said: “For this Louis Vuitton Unity Time Object, we chose a soccer ball – a theme that the House has long explored. We were inspired to create this special piece of art that integrates subtle references to Louis Vuitton’s DNA and codes, while seamlessly merging our legacy with its modernity and contemporary vision of time.”
What are the details of the Unity Time Object?
The structure itself was designed with showcasing the beauty of the clocks inner workings, which was been developed by Swiss mechanical movement maker L’Epée 1839.
Therefore, the object brings together the expertise of La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton watchmaking, L’Epée 1839, and the House’s savoir-faire in trunkmaking.
The design featured open clockwork showcased beneath interlinked hexagonal and pentagonal shapes which are interlinked to mimic the sporty geometric football pattern.

Polished accents of golden brackets, studs, and corners are a nod to the same protective elements which are used across Louis Vuitton trunks. Structurally, the use of these elements are essential for the clock, using a House staple in a unique form.
A sculpted golden steel dome forms the upper half of the clock. The hours and minutes are displayed on two rotating discs, the fluid motion of which has been enhanced by the open clockwork.
As for finer details, Louis Vuitton’s iconic Monogram motif and flowers have been used to craft the minute track. With this, the top of the cylinder featured the ‘Louis Vuitton Paris’ stamped signature.
A subtle but delicate detail is that to wind the clock or set the time a key is required to insert in either the top or the side of the timepiece.

A ring of diamonds is featured across the hexagon and pentagon apertures for the hour and minute displays. Each of the 144 white diamonds for the hours and 120 black diamonds for the minutes, for 1.03 carats in total, were delicately hand-set.
What are the features of the trunk?
The House has more than 170 years of trunkmaking expertise under it’s belt, which is why the piece is presented in a trophy-style trunk crafted in the matching emblematic Louis Vuitton Monogram canvas.
Handcrafted by Louis Vuitton’s expert artisans, the exterior of the trunk is finished with a leather trim and the iconic the brass corner protectors, lock and clasps that have been used on Louis Vuitton trunks since the 1860s.
As it is such a special piece, it was crafted at the House’s historic workshop in Asnières, just outside Paris. This particular workshop is where Louis Vuitton creates their most rare and special-order pieces.

When will the piece be auctioned?
The dedicated auction will take place at Sotheby’s in June from 9th to 18th. It is being auctioned alongside REBONDS books and Louis Vuitton footballs which have been signed by celebrities.
The signed footballs include signatures from Louis Vuitton brand ambassador, Thai rapper, singer, and GOT7 member BamBam and American actors Chloë Grace Moretz and Josh Hartnett.
The hammer price of the piece will be donated to UNICEF. The estimate is available upon request to Sothebys.
Brahm Wachter, Sotheby’s Head of Modern Collectables, noted: “Watches and sport alike are driven by deeply engaged collector communities, and we are thrilled to bring these worlds together through this sale. It is all the more rewarding to collaborate on an initiative that will support UNICEF’s vital work with children around the world.”
Where can I see it?

The piece and its trunk are currently travelling internationally throughout events and stores across the globe.
Paris, London Dubai, Hong Kong, and Singapore house the piece before it makes it’s way to New York for an exclusive celebration dinner attended by celebrities, partners and the media.
A free public exhibition where the timepiece can be viewed will be open once it’s made it’s way to New York. It will be on display rom the 11th to the 18th of June. The listing is also available on the Sothebys website where you can access imagery of the pieces on offer.
