Harrods Disney Jewelry Collection by Chopard

The Swiss jeweler Chopard has collaborated with iconic London store Harrods, to produce a Haute Joaillerie line, in continuation with their Walt Disney Princess theme.

You think Snow White and you have to think of the poisoned red apple that her evil stepmother gave her to eat. In the above picture: Crafted from round-cut rubies for the flesh, the stalk is made up of emeralds, tsavorites and brown diamonds. Look inside the ring and you can see little cut-out apple motifs ‒ a magnificent design. The Snow White ring costs £92,000.

When designing Princess Tiana’s necklace, the Chopard team thought of the floating flowers on which Tiana and her prince floated upon in The Princess and the Frog. To represent this image, briolette-cut paraibas tourmalines, tsavorites, emeralds and pearls were used, creating a fairy tale-like experience. The necklace priced £601,000.

For Mulan, Chopard created this floral brooch with a rubellite cabochon at the center ‒ with rubies, rubellites, pink sapphires, spinels and tourmalines on the petals. Purple is considered a royal color, especially for people seeking spiritual fulfillment. It is a color often associated with a brave leader.

This white-gold necklace was inspired by Belle’s iconic layered yellow dress from Beauty and the Beast. Containing 69-carat tanzanites, rounded blue sapphires, amethysts, pink sapphires and diamonds, this necklace mirrors the frills on Belle’s dress. Only the best for Princess Belle. With a price tag of £748,000.

Chopard decided Cinderella’s piece must be something exquisite yet simple. Featuring a singular flower with pearl and tear-drop aquamarine detail, these earrings complement the fairytale of all fairytales. They are a stunning pair of earrings to catch anyone’s attention. The tantalising pair of earrings cost £92,000.

The one thing we all connect Rapunzel with, is her hair. Entirely paved with diamonds and set in rose-gold, this necklace is symbolic of her long beautiful blonde locks.

In comparison, Sleeping Beauty’s earrings are far more colorful Comprising of two separate designs, these earrings consist of emeralds, tsavorites, amethysts and paraibas tourmalines on one, while pink and yellow sapphires and rubies distinguish the other side. The dazzling pair of earrings cost £179,000

The Chopard Haute Joaillerie collection is now available exclusively in Harrods’ Fine Jewelry Room until the end of December.

Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II

The Royal jewels will be on display at the Buckingham Palace to mark the Queen’s 60 years on the throne, by putting on a dazzling exhibition of Royal rocks.

The exhibition, which will be the focal point of the palace’s 2012 summer opening, will include many of the monarch’s most cherished jewels, some of which are shown here.

Many of the pieces that will be on exhibition at the Palace have undergone transformations through the ages – having been re-cut or used in new settings depending on the fashion or the preferences of the queens or princesses who used them.

Among them is an 1893 tiara given to Her Majesty as a wedding present by her gran Queen Mary.

The exhibition will also chart the link between diamonds and monarchs over 200 years.

Historic pieces such as Queen Victoria’s recognizable miniature personal crown which measures just 9cm by 10cm but contains nearly 1,200 diamonds will also be on view. The Jubilee Celebration will be held at Buckingham Palace in August and September.
