"...When perfect light is interpreted through the eyes of Fred Samuel..."

It is universally acknowledged that Fred, the luxury jewellery brand from Paris, excels not merely in exquisite design but also in the rich narratives that imbue its creations with enduring charm. Among these narratives, "light" stands out as a pivotal source of inspiration that fuels the brand's creative vision. This inspiration has recently culminated in the newly unveiled "Monsieur Fred Inner Light" collection.

This latest collection acts as a mirror reflecting the heritage and radiant personality of Fred Samuel, bringing forth the symbolism of "perfect light" as a central inspiration for its design. It simultaneously fuels his passion for gemstones. Valérie Samuel, the Vice President and Artistic Director of the Maison, oversees the design of this extraordinary collection.

Combining the significant inspirations from Argentina with childhood memories, Fred Maison presents intricate details through the interplay of vibrant gemstone tones. This playful use of colour showcases a brighter and more diverse palette than ever before, featuring opals from Australia, spinels from Tanzania, emeralds from Colombia, and sapphires from Sri Lanka. All these gemstones come together to form part of the luxurious artistry in this latest collection.

Blazing Audacity

Inspired by the enchanting La Boca district, known for its captivating music and passionate dance, the Blazing Audacity set brims with life. This set is distinguished by its vivid hues, gathering gemstones in shades of orange, pink, and red, embodying fiery intensity. These lively colours are melded with natural and geometric shapes, reflecting the Maison's aesthetic preferences.

Exalting Joy

Straddling the boundary between haute couture and high jewellery, the three pieces in the Exalting Joy set are crafted with inspiration from soft cotton fabrics and the opulent adornments of carnival costumes. This deep-seated idea transforms Exalting Joy into an exquisite embroidery, where various gemstones replace geometric threads to breathe life into each piece. The technical prowess showcased in the meticulous craftsmanship highlights the artisans' expertise. Intriguingly, these extraordinary pieces also feature the Maison's signature convertible design, offering three versatile looks to suit any mood.

Bright Vitality

The fusion of Argentinian plants and French elegance ignites the vibrant spirit of the Bright Vitality set. At the heart of these five creations lie brilliant green emeralds, accompanied by seven gemstones from Colombia's renowned Muzo mines. These exceptional gems are reimagined into graceful and fluid jewellery forms, enhanced by custom-cut brilliant and baguette diamonds. These key elements differentiate each piece, reinforcing the Maison's unique identity.

Endless Horizon

Lastly, the Endless Horizon set draws inspiration from the Maison's deep love for the sea. Evoking the enchanting ambiance of the Atlantic coastline, where Fred Samuel spent cherished holidays with his family, this collection conveys overflowing emotions, adventurous dreams, and ultimate freedom. This narrative is woven into rings, necklaces, and bracelets, anchored by deep blue Ceylon sapphires and Royal Blue Sapphires, symbolizing the allure and stories of the ocean.
