Baselworld 2017: CHOPARD Happy Hearts and FOR YOU Collections
The annual watch & jewellery show that is Baselworld is upon us and lasts a week with 1500 exhibitors trying to astound 145,000 visitors with their novelties.
Here are two of Chopard's charming collections for ladies.
Happy Hearts
Malachite and diamonds in unison
The Happy Hearts Collection is well established but they've added more upmarket pieces, if that is even possible.
The two signature motifs of 'dancing diamonds' and hearts are a cherished pairing at Chopard. Chopard Co-President, Caroline Scheufele is fond of the Happy Hearts and wears them privately as daily wear.
This year, Happy Hearts include a variant in diamonds and malachite, the ‘positive energy’ stone.
Happy Hearts are usually dainty jewellery pieces in white or rose gold, and adorned with wide hearts, either skeletonised or gem-set with coloured stones; all are sprinkled with signature tiny hearts holding moving diamonds.
The suppleness of these creations combined with the mobility of the diamonds result in a singularly chic and exquisitely feminine line.
Malachite and diamonds for a precious variation
A grade up from the simple Happy Hearts, the new versions are more sophisticated and precious...they're bigger and cost more! The hearts are now solid and set with diamonds, which sparkle and bring the malachite hearts into play.
The designers got all excited that for the first time, jewellery pieces are not only created around hearts set with a coloured stone and accessorised with moving diamonds, but delicately alternate between moving diamonds, diamond hearts and hearts set with malachite, resulting in a more desirable combination, rich with diamonds.
If you believe in gemstone mojo, malachite is believed to have protective virtues and a source of positive energy. Chopard used malachite with a vibrantly glowing shade of green streaked with softer or darker green veins for visual stimulation.
Happy Hearts Malachite & Diamonds
The collection, in 18ct rose gold, features a bangle bracelet, a spherical ring alternating between malachite, diamonds and moving diamonds, a pair of earrings and an elegant sautoir necklace.

A collection just “For You”
Jewellery creations usually appear from a precious blend of elegance, expertise and originality. With the For You collection, Chopard flirts with demystified luxury in ready-to-wear pieces.
The goal was to bring a light and airy feel to High Jewellery with cherry blossoms as the main theme. Just in time for Spring and just For You, the white gold jewellery sets feature rings and earrings studded with diamonds or emeralds.
Stud or cluster earrings, single rings or “You and Me” versions composed of two flowers facing each other: For You jewellery is graced with delicate pear-shaped diamonds or emeralds blossoming in a sparkling corolla around a brilliant-cut pistil.
We'll just show the watches from For You Collection for now, as a teaser.
The jewellery watches are set with pear-shaped and brilliant-cut diamonds or emeralds in the floral style.
They are fitted with a satin strap.
