The warmth of the Chopard Ice Cube collection shines through in the ethical rose gold and lacquer-red HyCeram design of the pendant and bracelet set, created to usher in the Year of the Horse
With the Christmas season now behind us, attention turns to the upcoming Lunar New Year. As preparations get underway, it is also time to ensure we have the right jewellery and accessories to usher in the Year of the Horse. Chopard answers the call with a striking duo of Ice Cube jewels that pair architectural minimalism with a flash of red. Created in tribute to the Year of the Fire Horse, the design draws inspiration from a zodiac sign associated with freedom, speed, strength, and a drive toward success.
The Ice Cube collection is defined by a minimalist, geometric narrative built from tiny gold “cubes” that resemble facets of ice. Crafted in 18-carat ethical gold and often set with diamonds, the collection offers stackable, gender-fluid pieces that are meant for everyday luxury with a contemporary twist.
This latest interpretation comprises two references: a pendant in 18-carat ethical rose gold and red HyCeram (Ref. 797005-9001), and a bracelet in 18-carat ethical rose gold and red HyCeram (Ref. 857005-9001). When worn together as a set, the Lunar New Year jewels are both auspicious and modern.
HyCeram, a high-performance composite made with 60% ceramic, offers a lacquer-like depth of colour that resonates strongly during Lunar New Year festivities. Its polished surface creates a striking contrast with the facets of rose gold, amplifying light reflection and giving the jewels an almost ethereal presence on the skin.
On the necklace, the Ice Cube motif appears as a central pendant suspended from a fine, in-house-crafted chain designed to move fluidly with the wearer and catch the light from every angle. It adds a subtle accent against bare skin. The bracelet, with its triple-row design, lends graphic strength, making it easy to stack alongside a Chopard watch or bangles.
True to the Maison’s commitment to responsible luxury, these Ice Cube creations are crafted in 18-carat ethical rose gold, shaped into miniature cubes using proprietary diamond tools that achieve precise edges and reflections. The texture captures the cool geometry of ice while retaining a sensual tactility that makes the pieces a pleasure to wear every day.
