“…Mouawad unveils a new chapter in its glittering universe through the latest high jewellery collection, “Illuminated Wonders.” This masterful assemblage invites admirers to step beyond the traditional boundaries of fine adornment, transforming jewellery into wearable narratives of time, light, and the enduring marvels of the world…”
If the preceding masterpiece collection, “Sun on the Seven Wonders,” was akin to a portrait of the world bathed in radiant sunlight, Illuminated Wonders becomes its natural successor, a poetic interpretation of dusk. It captures that mesmerising moment when the sun gently sinks below the horizon and the first star, Celestial Nova, makes its appearance. Warm daylight deepens into the profound glow of the cosmos, revealing a surreal dimension of beauty that remains eternal.
At the heart of Illuminated Wonders lies Mouawad’s inspired reimagining of iconic global architecture as exceptional works of art. From the tranquil sapphire-blue hues of the Taj Mahal to the fiery brilliance of Petra, each creation reflects the delicate balance between day and night. Every gemstone has been meticulously selected and set with impeccable craftsmanship by Mouawad’s master artisans, ensuring that each piece resonates with emotion as much as splendour.
The collection comprises seven complete high jewellery suites, with every set thoughtfully designed to include matching necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and rings. Together, they celebrate legendary destinations from across the globe:
Machu Picchu Suite: Distinguished by geometric motifs adorned with deep-blue sapphires, evoking the serene twilight that envelops the Andes mountains.
The Colosseum Suite: Golden arches and timeless forms reflect the enduring grandeur of Rome under the glow of evening light.
Petra Suite: Pink and yellow sapphires mirror the rose-red sandstone cliffs as they shimmer in the last rays of the setting sun.
Chichen Itza Suite: Tanzanites and sapphires convey the harmony of celestial alignment through brilliant, intricate design.
Taj Mahal Suite: A symbol of everlasting love expressed through soothing tones of blue and green.
Great Wall of China Suite: Precious rubies reinterpret the strength of ancient stone as emblems of power and desire.
Legacy of Light Suite: Pink tourmalines and yellow sapphires narrate the awakening of dawn, representing hope and new beginnings.
More than a statement of luxury, Illuminated Wonders embodies the seamless fusion of heritage, innovation, and human sentiment. It demonstrates that high jewellery can transcend ornamentation to become expressions of history, architecture, and light itself, all at once.
