The Paris Haute Couture Week offers Chopard the opportunity to reveal an extraordinary discovery that sheds light on the history of jewellery.
The exceptional and rare Chopard Insofu Emerald – whose name refers to the word for “elephant” in the Bemba language spoken by the people living in the Kafubu region of Zambia where the emerald was found in the Kagem mine – is one of the most important stones ever discovered, both in terms of weight (6,225 cts) and quality. Experts have detected the enormous potential of this gift of the Earth, still in its rough state and clearly brimming with possibilities.
Remarkable jewels will thus be carved from this emerald of extremely rare purity and quality - a fabulous treasure which – in the hands of the finest stone-cutters – will give rise to a collection of unique and singular gems, the first fruits of a forthcoming Haute Joaillerie collection.
