The Insofu collection comprises 15 exquisite creations: five pairs of earrings, four necklaces, three rings, a bracelet and a jewelry watch<\/a>, with each piece revealing a different facet of the Insofu Emerald\u2019s character, drawing inspiration from nature\u2019s fluid lines, abstract forms and the refined geometry of Art Deco. By working from a raw stone, Chopard ensures full transparency and closer collaboration with the supply chain\u2019s earliest stages. <\/p>\n

This collection follows Chopard\u2019s Garden of Kalahari<\/em> series, created in 2017 from a 342-carat rough diamond<\/a>. However, while a raw diamond\u2019s yield can be determined with scientific precision, a raw emerald presents a far greater challenge, revealing its true potential only through the meticulous cutting process.<\/p>\n

To undertake this ambitious endeavor, Chopard assembled some of the world\u2019s most skilled gem-cutters from India<\/a>, who carefully studied the emerald in the brand\u2019s Geneva<\/a> workshops. Over nearly a year, they assessed the stone, proposing cuts that would best showcase its natural beauty while preserving its unique soul and ultimately, the Insofu gem yielded 850 carats of breathtaking emeralds which could be used in Chopard’s collection.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn every stone lies a story, and my role is to listen and honor the natural magic they carry as treasures from the Earth,\u201d says Caroline Scheufele. \u201cWith the Insofu Collection, it was about respecting this inherent beauty. I chose the finest quality stones from the heart of the emerald, pairing them with diamonds, pink sapphires, and pearls.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the heart of the collection is an elephant-shaped pendant, a tribute to the gem\u2019s name. This signature piece showcases emeralds of various cuts and sizes, framed by shimmering diamonds that form the elephant\u2019s tusks. Suspended from a long chain interspersed with emeralds and diamonds, the pendant is ingeniously designed to transform into a brooch.<\/p>\n

Other highlights include Art Deco-inspired chokers, flowing necklaces that graze the waist in a nod to the Roaring Twenties, statement cuffs, bold cocktail rings, and showstopping earrings.<\/p>\n
