For this year’s Cannes Film Festival, Chopard turns its gaze not to the grand or the unattainable, but to the quiet wonders hiding in plain sight.
The Swiss maison’s Red Carpet Collection 2026, titled Miracles and conceived by Co-President and Artistic Director Caroline Scheufele, is a meditation on beauty in its most unassuming forms: a cloud that stirs a memory, a flower blooming in an unexpected colour, an animal caught in a moment of pure spontaneity.
After nearly two decades as an official partner of the Cannes Film Festival, Chopard continues to redefine what red-carpet jewellery can mean — and this season, it means looking more closely at the world around us.
“Miracles are often modest: they are born of a detail, a light, an unexpected emotion. This collection is an invitation to look at them differently”
— Caroline Scheufele
The pieces themselves are breathtaking in their ambition. A sweeping necklace in ethical white gold is anchored by an 88-carat Royal Blue sapphire, its fluid rows of aquamarines and diamonds cascading like light through water.
A phoenix brooch in rose gold and titanium — its plumage ablaze with emeralds and multicoloured sapphires — seems to be caught mid-flight, frozen in an act of rebirth. Equally arresting is a carp brooch whose diamond-and-sapphire scales ripple with almost liquid movement, while a secret watch concealed within a butterfly resting on a flower reveals time only when its jewelled wing unfolds.
Each creation emerges from Chopard’s Geneva ateliers after dozens, sometimes hundreds, of hours of meticulous craftsmanship — jewellers working ethical gold, gemsetters placing stones with infinite patience, lapidaries coaxing light from deep within each mineral.
The result is a collection that feels at once monumental and intimate: talismans for the Croisette, and quiet reminders that beauty has always been closer than we think.
