Coco’s jardin
These Camélia Ganse earrings pay homage to the flower that has, over the years, become as symbolic of the House of Chanel as the interlocking Cs. Set with 160 diamonds (totalling 2.6 carats), 184 brilliant-cut spinels and four Japanese cultured pearls, they are a stylish way to ring in spring.

Written in the stars
It seems that many major watch brands turned to the heavens for inspiration for timepieces that debuted at Geneva’s recent Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie event. Jaegar LeCoultre’s Duomètre Sphérotourbillon Moon model is equipped with a moon-phase indicator that is displayed on a disk of deep lapis lazuli. If you’re a stickler for long-term accuracy, you’ll be pleased to know the indicator is designed to remain accurate to within one day every 3,887 years.
Approx. $256,000; www.jaeger-lecoultre.com
What a gem
It was only a matter of time before Bulgari’s fragrance division drew inspiration from the brand’s own collection of high jewllery. Each of the six feminine Le Gemme fragrances represents six stones featured in Bulgari jewels, from Ashlemah, the amethyst (lavender, iris and violet with soft woody notes), to the peridot Calaluna (mint mingling with green tangerine, bitter orange and mate leaves). It only seems right to covet them all.
$319 (100 ml) each; www.bulgari.com
Life of a royal
Cartiers Royal Collection focuses on exquisite stones carefully sourced from around the world, with the stones’ geographical origins influencing the design of final pieces. The true star of this Reina Makéda necklace isn’t the dazzling rows of diamonds and rubies, but the 15.29-carat ruby sourced from Mozambique. Fit for a queen indeed.

A kiss goodnight
Missed out on Roja’s 2014 single-bottle release, By Appointment? Don’t depair — legendary perfumer Roja Dove is sharing the love again with Goodnight Kiss. He says this fragrance is a celebration of childhood memories of his own mother coming to wish him goodnight before going out to lavish cocktail parties. The scent is sweet, warm and summery, with heart notes of rose, orange blossom, mayflower and violet. Call it love at first whiff.

Time twister
There’s something quite hypnotic about Richard Mille’s new RM 51-02 Tourbillion Diamond Twister. We certainly don’t mind falling under the trance of swirling rows of diamonds spilling out into 14 rays like a mini galaxy. But all the dazzle hasn’t been used up in the faces of each of the 30 pieces made, with black onyx baseplates of the manual winding tourbillon, and cases set with white diamond and black sapphires. You’ll have to work hard to remind yourself it tells the time, too.
