For the second time this year, pop icon Rihanna has teamed up with Chopard to release a jewelry collection, and we are beyond excited. The first collection was released in time for the Cannes film festival in May, and this second collection will come out mid July. The new collection features nine high quality jewelry pieces inspired by Rihanna’s love for Barbados. Chopard has only released a sneak peek of two of the pieces from the collection. The world will have to wait to see the rest of this highly anticipated collaboration.
La Maison Chopard
The Swiss jewelry company is one of the last family-run watch and jewelry makers in the world. The Chopard family has been making gorgeous jewelry since the 1800s, and the company prides themselves on their dedication to creativity and innovation. These are surely some of the qualities that led Rihanna to work with them on these fabulous collections.
Success is the child of audacity. It requires a delicate balance between the determination to promote company growth and the ability to take calculated risks. Each Chopard creation has its own story, and creativity is both encouraged and supported in each field of activity.
Fairmined Gold
The Rihanna ♥ Chopard Joaillerie Collection features Fairmined gold to create haute jewelry that is ethical as well as beautiful. The mining practices used by small-scale mining operations are better for the environment and for the miners themselves.
Fairmined is an assurance label that certifies gold from empowered responsible artisanal and small-scale mining organizations who meet world leading standards for responsible practices.
Earrings
These stunning asymmetrical earrings feature brightly colored stones in shapes reminiscent of lush tropical plants. The chandelier earrings are topped with jeweled flowers and a butterfly.
Cascading sapphires, paraïba tourmalines, tsavorites, rubellites and wonderful colored gemstones and diamonds of all shapes and sizes combine to create the most captivating of earrings, an ode to the beauty of nature and asymmetry.
