Dior Diorette Collection
(Image credit: dior.com)
Victoire de Castellane, creative director of Christian Dior fine jewellery, has many signature motifs all inspired by the passions held by the maison's founding father. Botanicals are a big one, and she channels his love of flowers and gardens through gem-set wonders that capture the imagination, often showcasing unexpected colour combinations. Her latest Diorette creations are delicately rendered in gold and decorated with diamonds and vibrant lacquered enamel, turning clover shapes, daisies, roses, buds and little blooms into kaleidoscopic shimmering bouquets. This piece, a mini corsage for the ear, is the perfect blend of delicate and edgy. Price POA; dior.com
Chanel Cruise Collection

Chanel's 2023/24 Cruise collection is centred on the idea of dance, music and movement, drawing from the glitz and glamour of the Art Deco era, as well as the pop climate of the 1980s, with its craze for bright colours, aerobics and roller skating. New costume jewellery reflects this exuberance with whimsical pieces galore, including chokers set with rainbow coloured gems, cute charm bracelets and long necklaces such as this one (£1,650), embellished with a golden pearl and crystal encrusted rollerblade pendant. Look closely and you'll see a diamante-shaped "CC" sign on the ankle of the boot. chanel.com

The Tilda's Bow collection showcases the exquisite know-how of Graff's London design atelier. Each precious gem is carefully selected to compliment the swirling, looping silhouette of the white gold form, resulting in a ribbon of sheer brilliance that reflects prismatic light with energy and intensity. According to design director Anne-Eva Geffroy the Graff bow is very distinctive: "The outline is elegant and tightly tied with a lightness of touch. The shape captures the moment when a bow is created with movement and fluidity." POA; graff.com
