See The World Through Architectural Element Jewelry

The following are jewelry inspired by architecture. Through these rings, let's take a look at the wonderful fusion of jewelry and architecture. Let you feel the sense of traveling around the world.

First stop｜Paris

Inspired by the iconic Parisian building "Piazza Vendôme", Boucheron launched the new architecture series "Vendôme Liseré" jewelry, consisting of three pieces of necklace, ring and earrings, continuing the geometric style of the Architecture series. An octagonal outline is used to imitate a bird's-eye view of Place Vendôme.

In 1893, Boucheron founder Frédéric Boucheron opened a boutique at 26 Place Vendôme and became the first jeweller to invest here. Place Vendôme became an important element of Boucheron's jewelry design with its extraordinary significance.

The new work is based on emerald-cut diamonds, with round diamond edging and black lacquer frame, highlighting the iconic octagonal outline of Place Vendôme. The name of the series means the Place Vendôme in French. boundary.

Second stop｜Russia

In Russia, you will find churches of all sizes, large and small, everywhere. The church enjoys a sacred status in the spiritual world of the Russians. These beautiful churches can shock people's hearts.

British jewelry brand Annoushka launched a new season of "Touch Wood" series of rings, inspired by Russian domed churches. The most special feature of the new series is the carved decoration of natural pearls, imitating the three-dimensional onion dome structure, like miniature sculptures to reproduce the magnificent Byzantine architecture.

The onion dome is the most representative element of Russian architecture. The new series makes good use of the round and full shape of pearls, and the surface is carved with delicate grid patterns, reminiscent of the rich decorative patterns of onion domes.

In order to fully show the sharp corners of the onion dome, the designer also matched the top of the pearl with a gold cone and a bright round diamond to symbolize the cross on the top of the building. The main body of the building is made of gold electroplated in blue, green and purple, showing the colorful and lively tones of Byzantine architecture. The long windows on the side are intertwined with onyx and ebony, reproducing the classical arched outline.

Third stop｜Venice

Venice, the most fascinating and legendary water city in the world, has provided a source of creation for many artists.

Paloma Picasso, a world-renowned jewelry designer, took Venice as his inspiration to launch Paloma’s Venezia, a jewelry series for Tiffany & Co., presenting a unique and attractive design style.

"Venice is like my second hometown," said Ms. Picasso. "The dazzling cultural and historical accumulation gives Venice a wonderful atmosphere. I really want to incorporate this feeling into jewelry."

Through her keen insight into the design, Ms. Picasso perfectly interprets the beauty and historical heritage of this water city with four jewelry works with different themes.

The designer perfectly captured the ultimate luxury beauty of the iron gate, and transformed the decorative iron art inspired by the Guggenheim Museum into the delicate and complicated soft curve patterns on the jewelry.

The Paloma’s Stella series perfectly blends the octagonal star pattern with the contours of the balcony fence commonly found in Venetian architecture. Including rings and pendants with blue enamel as the background and shining gold star pattern, as well as bracelets and earrings designed with precious metal materials, imitating the elegant arch pillars of balcony fences.

Fourth stop｜London

From Elizabethan-style theater to Barbican's Fauvist aesthetics, in the past 100 years, London has presented a variety of architectural treasures to the world.

The De Beers jewelry series "London by De Beers" is inspired by the urban elements of London-the reflection of "Albert Bridge", the architectural outline of "Battersea Power Station", and the design of "Big Ben" Classical ornamentation, the circular structure of the "London Eye" and the willow branches hanging down "on the banks of the Thames".

This set of five works in the London Impression series uses the most iconic buildings in London as inspiration, and uses jewelry to show the unique charm of London.

For example, the London View series is inspired by the London Eye Ferris wheel. Each piece of jewelry uses two different cut diamonds, brilliant cut and marquise cut, to form a staggered ring design. Each diamond actually represents a cockpit of the Ferris wheel.

The inspiration for the Albert Bridge series is the Albert Bridge built in 1873. The work uses a series of oval, marquise, emerald and round brilliant diamonds inlaid with double gemstones to show the lines of the Albert Bridge and the reflection in the water.

The oval-cut and emerald-cut main diamond in the center of the jewelry symbolizes the pylon of the Albert Bridge, and the two rows of diamonds dotted around represent the slender stay cables.

Fifth stop｜Rome

Even the French who are extremely romantic, have infinite reverence for art, and love Paris to the extreme, after visiting Rome, they have to admit that the ancient architecture of Rome is unparalleled.

Other urban buildings in Europe have more or less the shadow of Rome (except for the works of Gaudi in Spain). Those buildings that have a history of 1500-2000 years still seem to be magnificent, even flesh and blood, and infinite vitality.

Bvlgari's "Roman Heritage" is inspired by Roman architecture and traditional culture. You can see pendants inlaid with ancient Roman coins and Parentesi necklaces showing the structure of ancient Roman stone and bricks.

The most special Divas Dream bracelet imitates the decorative pattern of "Baths of Caracalla", arranging blue, purple, pink sapphires and emeralds in a layered fan shape.

Sixth stop｜Orient

Oriental architecture generally refers to ancient Chinese architecture, and Japanese and Korean ancient architectures are all influenced by China. Many architects and masterpieces have emerged in ancient China, and many palaces, mausoleums, temples, gardens, and private houses have been handed down...

Ancient Chinese architecture is not only a reference for my country's modern architectural design, but has already had a worldwide influence and has become a cultural heritage that has attracted worldwide attention.

The French palace-class jewelry family-Chaumet (Chaumet Paris) new season of high jewelry series Trésors d'Ailleurs, French means "treasure elsewhere".

The new series is composed of 16 unique rings, drawing inspiration from the Jewish wedding rings in the Middle Ages and incorporating architectural shapes into the ring. The new design elements are taken from landmark buildings in China, Japan and other countries, symbolizing the residences of new people from different countries and regions.

"Qianlong" is inspired by the Forbidden City in Beijing. The gold ring surface imitates the sloped roof and cornice structure, and the surface is carved with delicate carvings, imitating the neat roof tiles.

The setting is matched with diamond inlays and colorful lacquer, reminiscent of the window pane pattern in the palace.

The "Madame Butterfly" ring is inspired by Japanese architecture. The three-dimensional pavilion shape, the sugar loaf mountain cut garnet and the sloping roof fit naturally. Lifting the main stone gently, you can see a hidden secret compartment.
