Cartier: Scarlet Joy, Timeless Love

Cartier’s iconic red box, introduced in the 1930s, is a symbol of legacy, romance, and festive celebration.

Over decades, the little red box has become ritualistic: a declaration of love and a promise, perfectly capturing the joy of gifting during the holidays.

Alhambra by Van Cleef & Arpels: Luck in Bloom

Now reimagined as transformable jewels, each of the five new additions shimmers with playful versatility and luminous sparkle, offering the ultimate gift for those seeking effortless glamour and everyday magic.

Royal de Versailles: Jewellery of Distinction

For esteemed Toronto jeweller Royal de Versailles, the philosophy is straightforward: a piece of jewellery should live as beautifully as you do.

Whether acquired as a legacy keepsake or a daily indulgence, each jewel is a testament to timeless style and rare refinement.

Tiffany & Co.: Love Is a Gift

Radiant in the Tiffany Icons, from Lock, T and Bird on a Rock, Anya Taylor-Joy brings a modern tenderness to the idea of love. “And whether shared with another or with ourselves, love, in all its facets, is the most precious gift of all,” she says in Tiffany & Co.’s 2025 holiday campaign, Love Is a Gift.

Le Sibille: Symbolic Sparkle

Born in Rome in 1990, Le Sibille has reimagined the refined art of Roman micromosaic through the lens of contemporary high jewelry.

Handcrafted micromosaics unite ancient techniques with modern vision, creating pieces that transcend mere adornment, perfect for those who cherish both meaning and style.
