This might be the mulled wine talking but your jewellery look isn’t going to be festive enough if it’s not fully frosted in diamonds and pearls—thank heavens we’ve got Mikimoto and its newly updated Mikimoto Splash and Les Pétales Place Vendôme collections to bring on maximum bling, colour, and festive cheer.
Combining the timeless elegance of Akoya cultured pearls, diamonds, and 18K pink gold, these jewels are ready to celebrate from day to night. Les Pétales Place Vendôme Rosés evoke the romance and beauty of rose petals floating in the breeze, descending on every fashion girl’s favourite address, Place Vendôme Paris. Paved in brilliant cut diamonds, the delicate 18K rose gold petals enrobe a single Akoya cultured pearl as they adorn a sautoir necklace, a pendant, earrings, and a ring.
Meanwhile, Mikimoto’s exuberant Splash collection presents a burst of pearls, diamonds, and blue sapphires in a dynamic bouquet of water droplets. Set on 18K white gold, perfectly round Akoya pearls in varying sizes lend a soft shimmer to the sparkle of precious gemstones, worn as a pendant or a delightful cocktail ring. Wear these pieces as a matching set, or layer them with other Mikimoto collections for a truly mesmerising Christmas ensemble.

Fit For A Royal
You’ve been slaying it all year and this festive season all you want to do is dress like a queen for real. Other than a golden crown, a fur cape, and killer stilettos, this fabulous Breguet timepiece is what you need.
With its elegant and iconic oval case, the Reine de Naples 8918 by Breguet is named in honour of Caroline Murat—sister of Napoleon Bonaparte and Queen of Naples from 1808 to 1815—who was a major trendsetter of her time, and a passionate collector of Breguet timepieces. Most intriguingly, Murat adored securing her timepieces around the wrist, making her the first person in history ever to wear a wristwatch.
Fit for a queen, whether past or present, the Reine de Naples 8918 bears all the signature hallmarks of Breguet fine watchmaking, from Clous de Paris guilloché to Grand Feu enamel. Breguet’s gem-setting savoir-faire also writs large in these two new models, one in black enamel with diamonds including one dazzling pear-cut diamond, and the other in white mother-of-pearl and rubies, with one radiant pear-cut ruby at six o’clock. Encircling the wrist with smooth leather or satin straps, these timepieces are beautiful inside and out, powered by a Breguet manufacture self-winding movement carefully decorated by hand.
