The sparkling stars in the night sky are romantic and captivating, and these dreamy lights have also become the inspiration for jewelry design, such as the latest release of the Extraordinary Lights series by Piaget, which turns rare gemstones into radiant lights in the night sky, creating a variety of top-notch jewelry and watches.
The Piaget Extraordinary Lights series depicts the enchanting night with three different chapters: “Festive Lights,” “Magical Lights,” and “Infinite Lights.” A series of jewelry and watches capture the delicate moments of every light and shadow change in the night sky through vivid color contrasts.
//Festive Lights//
The “Festival of Lights” collection draws inspiration from sky lanterns, using jewelry to mimic the sparkling stars in the night sky, illuminating the romantic night. The highlight piece is the “Blazing Night” themed jewelry necklace, symbolizing the traditional red lantern, set with 12 exquisite rubies from Mozambique and Thailand. The pear-shaped cut echoes the graceful curves of the lantern, the vibrant red resembling a blazing flame, releasing a crimson glow into the sky. The scattered radiance also transforms into bracelet-style watches and earrings of the same theme, feeling equally elegant and dazzling.
It also brings the theme of “Blissful Lights” jewelry, with earrings, necklaces, and rings adorned with white diamonds and vivid yellow diamonds, the brilliant colors shining against each other, vividly depicting the golden brilliance emitted when a group of lights rise into the sky. The yellow diamond in the center of the necklace can be removed and placed on a special ring base through an invisible track, becoming a sparkling ring with a hollow design, bringing a more flexible and innovative way of matching.

The Piaget collection recreates the magnificent and colorful Northern Lights with a variety of colorful gemstones. The “Magical Aurora” theme features top jewelry pieces adorned with emeralds, showcasing a kaleidoscope of dazzling light and shadow. The necklace is centered around a rare emerald from Colombia, known for its rich, pure green color and perfect square cut, enhancing the mysterious beauty of the natural aurora.
Limited to only 8 pieces, the “Dancing Aurora” limited edition watch features an ultra-thin tourbillon movement, paying homage to the Altiplano series movement born in the 1960s, and meticulously setting diamonds on the dial, like ribbons floating in the wind, while giving the turquoise dial a ripple-like dynamic.
//Eternal Light Realm (Infinite Lights)//
Piaget turns people’s joy of lingering in the dreamy starry sky into eternal sparkling jewelry. The jewelry pieces themed “Extraordinary Lights” feature a cushion-cut fancy yellow diamond as the main stone, paired with pear-shaped Sri Lankan sapphires, pear-shaped Tanzanian red spinels, as well as spessartite garnets and diamonds, creating a charming atmosphere reminiscent of a party climax.
The “Extraordinary Scenes” necklace depicts different scenes from day to night, with the front of the gemstones inspired by the golden, warm orange, and red colors of the sun, presenting a warm color tone of daylight; the back of the gemstones uses a blue color of the night, creating a sharp contrast between the cold midnight color scheme and the warm daylight color light. The necklace also features a unique design with flexible adjustment, offering 6 different ways to wear it. The pear-shaped crystal symbolizing “daytime” and the diamond representing “nighttime” can be detached to become a bracelet, and matching earrings and rings in the same color tones as “daytime” are also available.
Artist Rose Saneuil uses exquisite gemstone inlay craftsmanship to depict the beauty of the night sky on the dial of the “Celestial Dance” themed watch. When creating this watch, Rose Saneil, like painting a miniature painting or creating a miniature model, creates detailed distant views. The dial is made of special materials such as blue straw, leather, parchment, sheath wings, and horn wood, combined with unique mosaic-like inlay techniques, creating a fantastic collage effect. Each watch piece takes more than 50 hours to complete, making it a truly exquisite work of art.
