Pharrell Williams drops more jewellery for Tiffany & Co.
Few celebrities can tread back and forth between the masculine and feminine so convincingly as Pharrell Williams. Case in point, his Tiffany Titan by Pharrell Williams collection for Tiffany & Co. First launched in May of last year, the collection has been through a couple series, taking inspiration from Poseidon’s trident and white pearls respectively. This time, it’s all about Tahitian pearls, paired with 18k rose gold and pavé diamonds in a collection of earrings, a pendant, necklace, bracelet and ring. The patented Floeting platform has also been unveiled, creating the illusion of a “floating diamond” by elevating the stone above a setting without prongs or bezels.

Jaquet Droz’s last samurai
It’s been a decade since Jaquet Droz has done so, but it is finally revisiting the Japanese arts with the Tourbillon Skelet Sapphire – Bushidô. Manufactured in La Chaux-de-Fonds, the watch puts a face to the name with a 3D sculpture of the Bushidô warrior mask, which features Murano glass beads on its face and a painting of cherry blossom on its back. The single unique piece also boasts an eight-day power reserve, openworked red-gold oscillating weight and the fact that it’s made with no screws or inserts.
Everlasting foundation
They say good things don’t last forever, but at least some do for 24 hours. Dolce & Gabbana’s Everlast Foundation, your key to everlasting confidence, is a life-proof formula that offers all-day shine control and a long-lasting flawless finish that doesn’t smudge. Infused with Italian prickly pear, Sicilian avocado and Italian pomegranate, it also adds to skin firmness, moisturising it and defending it against environmental aggressors.
