Chopard x Julia Roberts
In a landmark collaboration, Chopard unveiled a new exceptional parure conceived as a tribute to the mesmerising beauty of the Insofu Emerald and co-designed by the Maison’s Co-President and Artistic Director Caroline Scheufele and Julia Roberts, global Ambassador of the Maison. The discovery a few years ago of the extraordinary 6,225-carat Insofu Emerald in the Zambian’s Kagem mine represented a pivotal moment in the history of jewellery. Defying conventions, Chopard acquired Insofu in its rough form, persuaded by the potential of this still uncut and unpolished gem with its captivating and changing shades of green, as well as the unparalleled purity of its texture. Believing that such a gem deserved a design project beyond the ordinary, Caroline Scheufele asked the most expert emerald cutters from India to study the stone in order to reveal its unique character.
