Paris Haute Couture Week Showcases Hermès and Graff Haute Joaillerie Collections

During Paris Haute Couture Week (July 6‑9), Hermès unveiled its ninth Haute Bijouterie collection, “Into the Horsescape,” designed by Pierre Hardy. The line features 90 one‑of‑a‑kind pieces that reinterpret equestrian hardware—bits, stirrups, bridles, harness buckles, lasso knots and horseshoe nails—into sculptural jewellery using diamonds, emeralds, black jade and other gemstones.

At the same shows, Graff presented a technically animated haute joaillerie range from its Place Vendôme atelier. The highlight includes 12 butterfly brooches that transform into pendants and a pair of 22‑carat yellow‑and‑white diamond earrings shaped like comets, blending massive gem scales with kinetic design.

Both houses used the couture platform to push creative boundaries in high jewellery, emphasizing movement, storytelling and extreme gemological craftsmanship.
