Revisiting the ice cube aesthetic!

 

Inspired by the graphic shapes! 

This project stemmed from Marion Cotillard's desire to extend her environmental and social concerns to the world of jewellery by Chopard. During a discussion with her friend Caroline Scheufele, she put forward her idea and asked her if Chopard could provide help from its workshops in fulfilling her goal. 

This led to the birth of this collection, named Ice Cube Capsule by Marion Cotillard. The Co-President of the Maison left the artistic direction of the project entirely to the actress, while ensuring that Chopard provided the responsibly mined materials and the technical support of the artisans required to produce this enduringly radiant jewellery.

Inspired by the graphic shapes and rock’n’roll spirit of Chopard's Ice Cube collection and by the idea of ethical jewellery, Marion Cotillard designed seven Haute Joaillerie creations in Fairmined-certified ethical gold and diamonds meeting the best international criteria. 

Under her impetus, the Chopard Haute Joaillerie atelier thus gave life to a ring and six earrings. As the French actress explained: "Chopard has accompanied me since my debut as an actress and I share Caroline Scheufele’s commitment to ethics, so this new collaboration is a great way to further strengthen the ties between us". 

Chopard’s Co-President added: "Marion Cotillard is very creative and all our discussions on this project have been extremely inspiring. 

By bringing her interpretation to our Ice Cube collection, she is inventing a contemporary and relaxed way to wear diamonds. It is a great pleasure to combine her ideas with our expertise in the realm of ethical jewellery”. 

Marion Cotillard's design notably reprises the Ice Cube collection’s graphic alignment of small faceted cubes, as well as the easy-going manner in which the jewellery can be worn solo or stacked. Renowned for its geometry, the collection is nevertheless infused with a wave of asymmetry that gives it an even more contemporary look and feel.
