Chopard Unveils High-Jewelry Collection Crafted From 6,225-Carat Insofu Emerald
The 15-piece collection features emeralds cut from a massive Zambian rough stone and supports wildlife conservation efforts.
- The Insofu emerald, a 6,225-carat rough stone discovered in Zambia's Kagem Mine in 2010, was acquired by Chopard in 2022 and yielded 850 carats of gem-quality emeralds.
- Chopard's 15-piece high-jewelry collection includes necklaces, rings, earrings, a bracelet, and a jewelry watch, showcasing Art Deco and nature-inspired designs.
- The centerpiece is an elephant-shaped pendant featuring emeralds and diamonds, symbolizing prosperity and reflecting the emerald's name, which means 'elephant' in the Bemba language.
- The collection was unveiled in Paris alongside five couture gowns designed to complement the jewelry, further expanding Chopard's luxury offerings.
- Part of the proceeds from the collection will support the Elephant Family charity, which focuses on wildlife conservation and human-elephant coexistence.
