Tiffany & Co. has crafted a bespoke, sparkling rendition of its iconic Bone Cuff for Colombian superstar Shakira.<\/p>\n
On her world tour, the singer wore a one-of-a-kind pair of Elsa Peretti\u00ae Bone Cuffs, crafted in platinum and pav\u00e9-set with diamonds. Each cuff is hand-engraved with the tour\u2019s name, Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran (Women No Longer Cry), making it a deeply personal statement of empowerment.<\/p>\n A true masterpiece, the Bone Cuff in platinum features over 100 hand-set diamonds, tracing the elegant curve of its sculptural form \u2014 an unmistakable nod to Elsa Peretti\u2019s signature Teardrop design. Inspired by childhood visits to a Capuchin Crypt in Rome and her admiration for Antoni Gaud\u00ed\u2019s organic architecture, Elsa Peretti first conceived the Bone Cuff in 1970. More than five decades later, the collection has evolved into an exploration of material, scale, and form, each design a testament to Elsa Peretti\u2019s visionary creativity.<\/p>\n The late star designer once reflected: \u201cA long time ago, I tried to fight il mio dolore<\/em> (my pain) by wearing the shape of a tear in silver around my neck. If you have tears around your neck or on your ears, you don\u2019t have them in your eyes.\u201d This sentiment powerfully echoes the spirit of Shakira\u2019s tour \u2014 a celebration of resilience, independence, and emotional strength.<\/p>\n Designed in 1970, the Bone Cuff remains a revolutionary vision of femininity. Elsa Peretti\u2019s groundbreaking design is sculpted to conform to both the left and right wrists \u2014 an intentional choice that allows the cuff to become one with the body. With its sensual curves and sculptural grace, the Bone Cuff embodies a perfect balance of power and elegance. Worn by some of the world\u2019s most celebrated figures, it remains one of the most iconic designs in jewellery history.<\/p>\n Annette Welander\u2019s Pearly Spheres <\/strong><\/p>\n This spring, Swedish designer Annette Welander unveils Sphere, a fine jewellery collection that reimagines the beauty of pearls.<\/p>\n \u201cI chose pearls for the Sphere collection because I believe in the harmony between something raw and something crafted. The perfectly round Tahitian pearls instantly evoke a connection to the natural world, and their shape closely mirrors that of our own planet,\u201d says the creative director of her eponymous design house, founded in 2018.<\/p>\n Tahitian pearls hold a special significance for Annette: \u201cThey are among the rarest and most valuable pearls in the world. Their luminous sheen and captivating mystique have always fascinated me, and they are the only naturally black pearls. Their iridescent hues shimmer across the surface, evoking both the depths of the ocean and the grandeur of nature.\u201d<\/p>\n The Sphere collection explores the interplay between man-made precision and nature\u2019s organic forms. Using cutting-edge technology, the designs strike a perfect balance between lustrous black Tahitian pearls and structured diamond cubes. Encircling each pearl are natural white Wesselton VVS diamonds (E-F colour), set in delicate 18-karat gold squares \u2014 an elegant juxtaposition of geometry and fluidity.<\/p>\n The line includes a refined necklace, where the pearl sits gracefully at the collarbone, a contemporary pearl ring, and perfectly spherical Tahitian pearl stud earrings. As a signature of the house, each piece conceals a hidden diamond, known only to the wearer.<\/p>\n Annette ensures that only the finest-quality Tahitian pearls, sustainably sourced from Tahiti\u2019s most respected farms, are used in the Sphere collection. \u201cThese are top-lustre pearls with an A-grade rating, the highest quality available. No treatments or artificial enhancements are performed \u2014 what you see is pure, natural beauty,\u201d she explains.<\/p>\n The designer works closely with her Stockholm-based studio, where expert Swedish goldsmiths handcraft each piece, ensuring unparalleled craftsmanship and attention to detail.<\/p>\n Guzema and 3.1 Phillip Lim\u2019s Capsule Line<\/strong><\/p>\n Ukrainian fine jewellery brand Guzema makes its US debut with an exclusive collaboration with New York fashion powerhouse 3.1 Phillip Lim.<\/p>\n The capsule collection, a refined fusion of both brands\u2019 aesthetics, features two standout pieces \u2014 a sleek snake choker and a matching bracelet.<\/p>\n Crafted in sustainably sourced sterling silver and 14-karat gold, each piece bears the signature 3.1 Phillip Lim logo engraving on the clasp. The snake motif, chosen to symbolise the Lunar New Year and the transformative symbolism of the serpent, embodies themes of renewal and evolution \u2014 much like a snake shedding its skin.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are incredibly proud of this collaboration with 3.1 Phillip Lim. I\u2019ve been a personal fan of the brand since the mid-2000s \u2014 it holds a strong reputation in Ukraine as a modern luxury house that exudes effortless cool. Guzema is designed for the global woman who seeks timeless, heritage pieces to complement her dynamic lifestyle \u2014 values that align seamlessly with 3.1 Phillip Lim. We couldn\u2019t think of a more fitting partnership for our US debut,\u201d says Valeriya Guzema, founder and designer.<\/p>\n The collection will be available exclusively on guzema.com and at 3.1 Phillip Lim boutiques worldwide starting March 2025. The sterling silver necklace is priced at $650, while the matching bracelet retails for $400.
