As the spotlight turns to the French Riviera for the 76^th edition of the legendary Cannes Film Festival, Chopard is celebrating the occasion with the unveiling of its new Red Carpet Collection, setting the mood for one of the most glamourous events of the year.

A partner of the festival since 1998, over the past few decades, the maison’s stunning high-jewellery pieces, designed by artistic director Caroline Scheufele, have adorned some of the world’s greatest film stars as they descend the event’s iconic red-carpet staircase.

This year, the collection includes no less than 76 masterpieces, one for each year the historic festival has been held, and inspired by Scheufele’s love of art – in all its myriad expressions – and by Mother Nature, the most prodigious artist of them all.

Crafted in Fairmined-certified ethical gold and set with the most exceptional gems, Chopard’s Red Carpet Collection represents the ultimate expression of traditional jewellery-making know-how, revisited with an avant-garde spirit.

Combining new materials such as titanium with innovative stone-cutting techniques, the maison’s talented artisans have once again given life to Scheufele’s artful vision, transforming her ideas into precious wearable objets d’art imbued with poetry and emotion.
