How to Read the Signs and Symbols in Chanel’s Latest High Jewelry Collection (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When a high jewelry collection is called “Signes & Symboles,” you should expect to encounter a talisman or two. And when it’s from Chanel, those codes are clear: the lion (Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel was born on August 19) and the sun, stars and camellias. But the surprise inherent in an independent spirit is encoded in the house DNA. The first Chanel High Jewelry collection, in 1932, was famously all white diamonds, but the 2026 collection is marked by a bold use of colorful hard stones: turquoise,
Unraveling the History of Cartier's Jewelry Zoo (opens the original)
Read excerpt

While on safari with Louis Cartier, Jeanne Toussaint, head of Cartier jewelry, shouted: “Emeralds, onyx, diamonds, a brooch!” after spotting a panther in the wild.

Read excerpt
Shall we play diamond geography? The pursuit will take us to Southern Africa, Namibia, Botswana. And Paris? The recently opened DeBeers London flagship on Rue de la Paix pays subtle homage to the important sources of DeBeers diamonds. There are the surfaces throughout, some rough, some polished, like the evolution of stone. Then there is the full wall of kimberlite, the rare host rock in which diamonds are discovered. If the store celebrates the natural wonders of the Earth, a new High Jewelry c
Gems of Wisdom: Did I Tell You This About Athens? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You're reading the Gems of Wisdom newsletter archive, which is available for premium members only. I looked at my schedule for this week while I was in Paros last week and had a momentary panic. Only to realize, and remember, that this is what September feels like in New York. We celebrated T&C’s 180th anniversary Tuesday night with friends old and new at the just-opened Dante across from the Elizabeth Street Garden (a NYC treasure).
