he name Caroline Scheufele has and will continue to go down in history as one of the most influential figures in the luxury industry. As the Co-President and Artistic Director of Chopard, Caroline Scheufele’s influence has been felt in various corners of the world with more people adoring the Maison’s creative endeavours, only made possible under her tutelage. Today, the world watches in excitement as the tables finally turn and the distinguished Maison unmasks a corner of her own world.
Inspired by the life of Caroline Scheufele, the 2025 Red Carpet Collection makes its grand debut at the 78th Cannes International Film Festival. Made by the highly skilled artisans in Chopard’s Swiss-based atelier, the collection comprises of 78 flavourful pieces ranging from brooches to timepieces. A good portion of the collection features intricate animal figures featuring a myriad of stones and jewels. Charming its way into people’s hearts, Caroline Scheufele’s endearing Byron makes a return in the form of a gem-studded ring. The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is not alone as other life-like creatures, such as a hippopotamus and even pandas, joyfully grace the vibrant collection.
Among the many pieces presented, one elegant panther is seen rocking on a luminous diamond-studded moon pendant. Made with black diamonds, the intuitive animal represents Caroline’s deep intrigue of the Cosmos. In addition to the panther, the atelier exhibits its unbeatable craftsmanship through a lavish Chinese zodiac-inspired necklace. Assembled out of diamond-studded white gold scales, the enchanting snake slithers around one’s nape to reveal a large teardrop- shaped emerald on its tail.
Just in time for the red carpet, Chopard explores its expansive palettes and effortlessly captures the Artistic Director’s soft spot for nature. Reminiscent of the floral expanse by Lake Geneva, the 2025 Red Carpet Collection is filled with vibrant flowers of many silhouettes. Whilst the collection may be enlivened with unique flower brooches, a multi-layered tanzanite choker draws one’s eyes to the 18-carat white gold flower featuring brilliant-cut diamonds (20.79 carats). At the same time, a pair of hibiscus-like earrings opens rose-tinged golden petals to disclose precious opal buds. These warm earrings are held together by demure heart-shaped diamonds, which leads Chopard to its next source of inspiration: hearts.
Throughout the years, Chopard has long relied on the heart symbol to convey its values to the world. Taking cues from the success of its legendary Happy Hearts collection, the Maison now adds joyful jewellery featuring this shape. First to join this new collection is an openworked heart-shaped necklace whose white gold frame is filled with vivacious pink sapphire briolettes and diamonds. The same pink heart equivalent is also presented in brooch and earring forms, whilst another ruby-studded heart ring gleams against its aluminium and white gold foundation.
The 2025 Red Carpet Collection would not have successfully captured the Artistic Director’s world without paying homage to Couture or rare gems. Further extending the Precious Lace collection, Chopard integrates renewed lace motifs onto unforgettable jewellery and timepieces. One such model, which features an intricate diamond-set lace pattern, boasts a dainty lozenge dial with a unique portrait-cut diamond to protect it. Similarly remarkable, the world bears witness to some of nature’s finest treasures through the debut of the 2025 Red Carpet Collection’s opulent diamond choker starring its astounding 129-carat emerald. Not one to shy away from adventures, Caroline Scheufele has made it a mission for the Maison to unearth hidden beauties such as the Insofu emerald as well as rare diamonds. In its endless pursuit of beauty and sustainability, Chopard continues to stay true to its values of ethical and responsible sourcing of its materials.
