This spring, high jewellery houses are seeking out a softer colour palette, nodding to a whimsical mood board for one-of-a-kind creations in sorbet shades.

In Messika's turquoise beads, Van Cleef & Arpel's graphic gold chain and Buccellati's golden spider, silhouettes take a playful turn, while Bulgari's pink gold necklace and Hermès' emerald ring subvert traditional jewellery motifs.

For Tiffany & Co, a string of South Sea black pearls is a romantic take, as are Dior's sprinkling of pink spinels and pink sapphires.

Cartier's dangling pendant of chrysoprases, spinels, turquoise and diamonds will make a statement, as will Louis Vuitton's show-stopping emerald-cut emerald ring.
