Ahead of the Oscars ceremony, luxury maison Chopard unveiled a first creative collaboration with its ambassador during a dinner in honour of the ‘Chopard x Julia Roberts’ Haute Joaillerie collection
In the run-up to the Oscars, Chopard Co-President and Artistic Director Caroline Scheufele hosted a dinner on March 8, 2024, in the legendary setting of the Château Marmont, LA, to honour Chopard Ambassador Julia Roberts. Surrounded by Elton John and select guests, they unveiled their first creative collaboration: an incredible Haute Joaillerie set comprising a necklace, a ring and a pair of earrings graced with stones derived from the Insofu Emerald.
The ‘Chopard x Julia Roberts’ parure stems from the creative dialogue between Caroline Scheufele and Julia Roberts aimed at showcasing the first gems resulting from the cutting of a raw 6,225-carat emerald acquired by Chopard several years ago. The Insofu emerald with its extremely rare cut and texture reflects the bold approach taken by the Maison.
Julia Roberts was involved in the design of this jewellery and drew inspiration from traditional Indian jewellery to enhance emeralds’ intense colour by combining them with rubellites and turquoise. Julia Roberts delighted in wearing this exceptional parure for the first time at the dinner. Enlivened by Jason Pelsey’s jazz trio amid an entirely floral setting, the dinner featured a spectacular fashion show combining the latest Haute Joaillerie creations from the Chopard workshops with the Caroline’s Couture collection.
