THE ALPINE EAGLE FROZEN RAINBOW BY CHOPARD

Chopard’s Alpine Eagle collection has taken our breath countless times with its reinterpretations of the imposing eagle and the immaculate Alps. The Alpine Eagle Frozen rainbow watch is no exception. Fashioned in ethical 18K white gold, the piece features a diamond-set dial and a bezel that comes alive with trapeze-cut sapphires. Anchoring the whole piece is the Chopard 01.03-C movement with automatic winding that promises a 60-hour power reserve.

THE JEUX DE LIENS PENDANT BY CHAUMET

It is true that Chaumet’s affinity for nature has been well documented throughout the centuries. The rainbow motif, especially, can be seen sprinkled all over its catalogue. Its latest Jeux de Liens pendant opens a new chapter in this love story. Bringing all the colours of the rainbow together for the first time, the rose gold pendant is studded with pyrope garnet, spessartite garnet, mandarin garnet, citrine, peridot, tsavorite garnet, sapphire, amethysts, pink sapphire, and diamonds.

THE CHIFFRE ROUGE BLACK ULTRAMATTE RAINBOW BY DIOR

There’s a reason why the Chiffre Rouge is so beloved—and it’s not just because of its trippy asymmetrical design. The Chiffre Rouge Black Ultramatte Rainbow, for example, brings the best of jewellery and watchmaking. Powered by the CD.002 automatic movement, the watch is highlighted by an 18K pink gold bezel with sapphires, amethysts, rubies, peridots, tsavorites, and tourmalines. The diamond-encrusted dial elevates the whole look with Dior’s Cannage motif.

THE PRETTY WOMAN HYPNOTIC RAINBOW LONG NECKLACE BY FRED

If there’s ever a time to embrace the “go big or go home” lifestyle, it’s now. The Pretty Woman Hypnotic Rainbow long necklace by Fred embodies this spirit with its unapologetic use of colours and proportions. Crafted in 18K pink, yellow, and white gold, the necklace brings forth an exciting interplay of materials. Here, coloured stones like sapphires and emeralds are engaged in a conversation with hardstones like lapis lazuli and malachite.

THE BRILLIANT BAGUETTE RAINBOW BY JACOB & CO.

Since its inception in 2017, the Brilliant collection by Jacob & Co. has raised the bar for women’s watches. Its ingenuity in blending avant-garde watchmaking with elegant gem-setting techniques is awe-inspiring. Not stopping there, the Brilliant Baguette takes it up a notch as the watchmaker shifts its gaze to the world of high jewellery. The Brilliant Baguette Rainbow demonstrates this endeavour to perfection with the invisible-set sapphires adorning its case, bezel, and dial.

THE ART DECO BANGLE BY ROBERTO COIN

Looking for something that is somewhat minimalistic to offset the burst of colours? Look no further than the Art Deco creation at Roberto Coin. Known for its experimentation of symmetries and shades, the collection is a masterclass in balance. The sleek bangle, expressed in 18K rose gold, stands out from the rest. Its juxtaposition of clean lines and clanging accents, thanks to the columns of coloured stones and diamonds, is as perplexing as it is endearing.

THE TAMBOUR PLATINUM RAINBOW BY LOUIS VUITTON

When the drum-shaped Tambour from 2002 was revived a couple of years ago, it was immediately understood that Louis Vuitton wanted to engage with the modern collector demographic. But time has changed. The brand now wishes to take the collection into the high-watchmaking segment. The platinum Tambour—a first within the collection—showcases the brand’s dexterity in gem settings as it features baguette-cut corundum sapphires and rubies.

THE JOIE DE VIVRE RING BY STEPHEN WEBSTER

Paying homage to American gay rights advocate, Marsha P. Johnson, Stephen Webster unveils the Joie De Vivre line. Parked under The ReBelles—a collection that honours the world’s heroines throughout history—the made-to-order cocktail rings are designed to mirror Johnson’s vibrant wardrobe. This rainbow-coloured ring is particularly noteworthy. Sculpted in 18K yellow gold, the ring boasts square-cut sapphires and tsavorites, all circling a central lilac spinel.

THE CHRONOMASTER SPORT RAINBOW BY ZENITH

Those who think that sports watches and sparklers don’t go well together must not have heard about this hybrid creation. Adding a touch of elegance to its flagship watch, the Chronomaster Sport, Zenith has introduced baguette-cut sapphires and diamonds to the iconic design. These precious stones line up the bezel and dial of the watch in prismatic harmony. They hover over the sophisticated El Primero 3600 automatic movement, which delivers a power reserve of 60 hours.
