Omega bijoux

Omega launches its new Bijoux collection, a first series of two distinct collections inspired by characteristics inextricably linked to the brand:

The “Griffes” rage evokes the famous four claws that clamp the bezel to the case on Omega's renowned Constellation collection, which accounts for the world's top-selling ladies watches. In the 'Griffes' line, the characteristic claws are used as interlinking elements in rings, necklaces, bracelets and earrings.

The two rings in the “Griffes” collection offer various possible combinations for the wearer. The first ring consists of two separate 18-carat yellow or white gold rings linked by matching gold claws studded with a total of 18 diamonds. separate 18-carat yellow and white gold insert rings (available in gold with or without a single diamond) can be inserted in the gap between the two connected rings, offering a variety of colour combinations. The gold insert rings can also be worn on their own. The second ring in the “Griffes” collection consists of three individual gold rings (available with all three rings in 18-cart yellow gold or with each ring in a different gold colour: yellow, red and white) with the middle ring linked to the two outside rings by diametrically opposed 18-carat white gold claws set with a total of 28 diamonds. The pièce de rÉsistance among the “Griffes” rings is an 18-carat white gold piece consisting of three individual rings set with a total of 81 diamonds and clamped together by two slightly offset claws set with 18 diamonds, framing a resplendent 0.78 carat diamond solitaire.

The design theme used in the “Griffes” collection makes for an extravagant necklace, which, as a unique site, uses 23 gold rings that are articulated to form an irregular pattern by 18-carat white gold claws set with a total of 396 diamonds (2.06 carats). The same design is used for a charm bracelet, on which gold dises with cut-out symbols of letter in the Greek alphabet represent the charms. The top-of-the range bracelet is a complex interplay of different-sized 18-carat yellow gold rings - some hollow, some filled in with yellow gold - that are again linked together by the white gold double claws.

The “Symbole” range takes its inspiration from the greek symbol Omega from which the company takes its name. The last letter in the Greek alphabet, it stands for accomplishement and perfection - qualities admirably reflected by the jewellery that bears its name. Elegant rings in 18-carat yellow or white gold take the shape of the Omega symbol, with the gap in the familiar horseshoe shape bridged by 9 diamonds or sapphires in pink or blue. The Omega symbol provides for a sublime necklace design, in which the “feet” of the Omega letter are extended around the neck to finish in an open back. Available in 18-carat yellow or white gold and with or without a diamond-set symbol, this necklace has a subtle touch of Ancient Greek design and fits perfectly with the Omega symbol theme. The “Symbole” collection is rounded off my matching stud earrings in 18-carat yellow or white gold set with a total of 30 diamonds.

Like all Omega watches, each item in the Omega Bijoux collection is manufactured to the strictest Omega quality standards using only the most precious of materials. All diamonds used are IF-VVs Top Wesselton and each piece is accompanied by its own individual precious stone certificate.
