Piaget once again returns to the enchanting landscape of Sunlight Escape, with a second chapter of creativity from its high jewellery ateliers. Re-visiting the themes presented in July 2018, the maison revels in the motifs and imagery of a frozen, snowy, mysterious landscape, illuminated by the glistening sun of a winter’s sky, always inspired by the audacious beauty of nature at its most mesmerising.
With new additions spread across three chapters – Warming Lights, Exalting Sights and Dancing Nights - the maison dazzles with its creative energy, offering bold designs, exquisite metiers d’art and exceptional gemstones in a combination that is both unexpected and yet quintessentially, recognisably Piaget.

Warming Lights
Continuing its long-held tradition of creating exceptional high jewellery watches, Piaget offers the White Sun watch (G0A43230), in homage to the Winter sun as it burns with a bewitching white light across the clear Arctic sky. Just as the sun’s rays illuminate the icy plains, so do the ‘rays’ of 12 white kite-cut diamonds and 81 brilliant-cut diamonds which are mixed with hand-engraved white gold ‘Palace Décor’ ‘sticks’ that radiate from a central mother-of-pearl dial. In the world of Piaget, White Sun is a fitting tribute to the houses’ continued celebration of the sun as a life-giving, perpetually-shining, celebratory motif

Exalting Sights
Re-enforcing its position as the pre-eminent creator of high jewellery cuffs, Piaget extends its story with the one-off Frosted Star piece (G36M7900). Taking inspiration from the symmetrical compositions of snowflakes and their infinite iterations, as well as this cuff showcases a beautiful central 5.12 carat cushion cut Madagascan blue sapphire surrounded by 8 exceptional square-cut black opals. Diamonds in 4 different cuts radiate out further before the in-house engraver showcases their historical Piaget know-how in a new ‘frost’ version of the signature ‘Palace Décor’.
In celebration of the whitest of colour palettes – an ode to the purity of falling snow – Piaget presents an elegant sautoir (G37N6300) of white opals, south sea pearls and white diamonds. Set in white gold it is the perfect embodiment of the playful, joyful creativity that defines the maison. Mixing the iridescence of opals, the lustre of pearls and the sparkle of diamonds to perfect harmonious effect while radiating from a central snow-flake inspired design, this sautoir is a true celebration of the houses’ exceptional jewellery and design know-how.

Dancing Nights
In homage to the Aurora Borealis, one of nature’s most extraordinary spectacles, Piaget offers Night Illusion. A necklace, earrings, ear-cuff and ring that draw direct inspiration from this Nordic phenomena as the northern lights dance and ripple across the frozen night sky. Echoing the luminous, vivid greens and blues of this mesmerising light-show, the House has sourced the finest emeralds, Paraiba tourmalines and diamonds in a palette of rich intensity. First a necklace (G37N7101), asymmetric in form and a true expression of the houses’ graphic and playful creativity. At its heart lies a central 10.76 carat Colombian emerald, displaying an intense green colour with exceptional saturation. Around it swirls a painterly mix of marquise-cut emeralds, marquise-cut Paraiba tourmalines and unusually 42 emerald crystals. Found embedded in blocks of quartz, and due to the emerald’s fragility, extraction of these crystals is extremely difficult, making their inclusion across this chapter all the rarer.
Earrings (G38N9400) and a singular ear-cuff (G38N9500) echo the undulating design in what are exemplary demonstrations of Piaget’s audacious and contemporary oeuvre. Completing Night Illusion, a ring (G34HZ600) showcases a 5.95 carat cushion-cut Colombian emerald that flashes with a deep intensity so redolent of its inspiration. With a mount that oscillates with waves of emeralds and diamonds this ring is as enchanting and dramatic a spectacle as the lights and skies that inspire it.

Continuing its creative partnership with marquetry artist Rose Saneuil, Piaget presents Green Aurora (G36M8300), an exceptional cuff with a delicately varied palette that reflects the extraordinary nuances of the Aurora Borealis. Fashioned from minute slivers of straw, Sycamore and Common Hornbeam immense technical prowess is required to curve the marquetry around the contours of the cuff, a high jewellery first for the house. At the centre of the radiating design lies an indigo tourmaline of over 14 carats, a rare and beautiful crystal from Namibia. Accompanied by a pair of marquetry earrings of similar design with ‘shards’ of ice-like diamonds, these 2 creations mark the harmonious coming together of multiple disciplines practised at the highest levels of perfection.
