The holiday has its roots in the early years of Christianity. It was a celebration of the martyrdom of St Valentine, who was persecuted and executed by the Roman Empire for wedding and ministering to Christians.
During the High Middle Ages when the courtly
love was believed to be the purest and most noble forms of expression.
Valentine’s Day became one of the most popular days to express feelings of
adoration through subtle tokens of affection.
Love has always been a part of us, it is the
most ancient and powerful emotion. People throughout the centuries have found
different ways to prove this undying devotion. Some people have even gone so
far as to build temples and monuments in proof of them, while the rest of us,
perhaps more sensibly, turn to smaller but none the less powerful gestures.
Jewels and gems are perhaps the most enduring
and poignant gifts a man can give. Chopard have a long history of providing
some of the finest and most exquisite creations. The subtle and intricate
designs are the result of centuries of accumulated information and dedication.
Chopard have created for this special day a
stunning array of high end creations. The Artistic Director Caroline Scheufele
continuously pushes the boundaries of to provide the very best. Each new
creation is another step forward in the long and prestigious history of the
firm.
Each jewel is an attempt to better capture
that elusive element that is woman. The subtle play of light, the curves and
the silhouettes all have their own crucial role to play.
The Geneva based house has an affinity for
anticipating feminine wants and desires, creating desirable and sensual designs
that are the ideal token of affection for Valentine’s Day. White gold and diamonds will shine brightest
in the Haute Joaillerie Collection while fresh and colorful gemstones will
highlight the Precious Temptations collection.
A white
gold ring delicately emboldened by two heart shaped diamonds will be the latest
addition to the Haute Joaillerie collection. The Precious Temptations
collection will have the welcome addition of an impressive rose gold ring and
earring delicately set with the unsurpassed violet of amethysts, wild rose pink
of sapphires and flamboyant rubies.
In each careful detail of these creations is
the opportunity to make your love last forever.
