Harry Winston
HW Logo Diamond Collection
When it comes to precious stones, names don’t get much bigger than the King of Diamonds, Harry Winston.
And so it’s not that surprising the New York jewellery company was keen to celebrate its founder’s identity with its latest collection. The HW Logo Diamond collection adeptly weaves the ‘H’ and ‘W’ initials into the pieces’ platinum settings.
Pictured [left] is the pendant and matching earrings. And if you really want to make a statement – preferably while on one knee – there’s also an HW Logo Engagement Ring [right], where a brilliant-cut diamond is framed in the signature micropavé
HW platinum setting.

Longines
Mini DolceVita
You may have seen glamorous campaign shots of Jennifer Lawrence rocking the latest drop from Longines: the Mini DolceVita.
But behind this contemporary take is a serious lineage. The new collection was inspired by a Longines legend created in 1927 and, of course, the original DolceVita collection from 1997.
The latter was launched with the slogan,“Elegance is an attitude” and the Mini DolceVita updates this for a new generation.
There’s an impressive range of colour options and configurations, but we’ll take this diamond-flanked mint-green one, thanks.
Prices from £1,500; pictured, £3,450; longines.com
Boodles
Pink Be Boodles collection
The original Be Boodles collection took inspiration from the two Bs in its name. You can spot them back to back in the collection’s central motif.
New for 2024 is Pink Be Boodles, a pink twist on the now iconic collection. Here, rose gold frames are adorned with pink diamonds. Boodles is renowned for its sourcing of pink diamonds – so rare they account for less than 0.1% of the world’s diamonds. Valued at 30 times more than a white D flawless diamond five years ago, pink diamonds have now escalated to 100 times more valuable than their counterparts.
Pendant set, £25,700; earrings, £28,900. For more information, see boodles.com
Le Vian
Dolce D’Oro Collection
Can’t decide between jewellery and chocolates? Le Vian’s new Chocolatier pieces might just be your answer. The rings and bangles boast Chocolate® Diamonds set in 14k Honey™ gold.
They’re part of the brand’s new Dolce D’Oro collection, which incorporates intricate gold beadwork.
Eddie LeVian, Le Vian’s CEO, says that you can trace the design cues back to Le Vian’s inaugural masterpiece in the early 1500s. Though, there are also clear nods to both the 1950s and – with the increasingly popular bangle – the 1990s. Nostalgia never looked so good.

Breitling
Limited-edition Chronomat 36 Victoria Beckham
Victoria Beckham launched her eponymous clothing line in 2008. Since her catwalk debut, she has designed everything from loungewear to Land Rovers. And now she’s moved into the watch world.
This month, Breitling has introduced a new line of timepieces co-designed with the British designer. The Chronomat Automatic 36 Victoria Beckham collection is limited to just 1,500 pieces.
Colorways are inspired by Beckham’s own SS24 palette, including dove grey, peppermint, midnight blue, and sand. You’ll also find Victoria Beckham’s initials on the seconds hand and her logo inscribed on the bracelet.
“The Chronomat is already a versatile watch with a classic form,” commented Breitling CEO Georges Kern on the partnership. “With Victoria Beckham’s signature style, this collection is a modern, radiant expression of that timepiece.”
