6 new jewellery launches this spring: Hermès and Cartier top our wish list – the former clearly with the classic Birkin bag in mind, while the latter’s motifs are all animal-inspired

Van Cleef & Arpels’ Lucky Spring collection, Repossi’s ear cuff, Pascale Monvoisin’s collection inspired by a cigarette lighter and Dickson Yewn’s square rings complete our round-up
Spring heralds renewal in nature and that sense is felt too in jewellery, with many brands picking up on the optimism in the air to issue a revamped annual collection perhaps, or find a favourite motif to revisit.
Read on to find out how six jewellery houses are marking this spring. Nature is, of course, the muse most had in mind, but there are also some more left-field inspirations and interpretations as well.
Hermès Sac Bijou

Cartier Trinity bands

Pascale Monvoisin Marcel collection

A motif inspired by 70s cigarette lighters is at the heart of French jeweller Pascale Monvoisin’s Marcel collection. The label’s trademark symbol appears as a clasp in chain bracelets and necklaces, and even as a pendant that can function as a chic keepsake holder.
