Dotty over Spots: Circle, circle, dot, dot – get set for your glamour shot

Since the dawn of time, people have associated the ubiquitous circle with objects of beauty, wonderment and perfection – a full moon, the human eye, the Olympic flag, the Yin and Yang symbol. Small wonder that this humble shape has inspired countless designers to create similarly timeless yet forward-thinking objects, especially in the world of haute joaillerie.

Running the gamut from rings to necklaces, Christian Dior’s new Rose Des Vents Collection is a celebration of the Normandy designer’s favourite symbol – a delicately encircled eight-point star. The Breastplaster, arguably highlighting this new collection, features a constellation of double-sided medallions.

On one side, monsieur Dior’s star (often referred to as “the traveller’s symbol”) is displayed. On the other, precious stones such as diamond, turquoise, malachite and mother-of-pearl have been carefully curated by Parisian jeweller Victoire de Castellane.

For the vivacious extrovert, Palmiero’s Bubble Collection is sure to appeal. With their bulbous and multi-faceted design, even the smallest items in the collection – such as the colourful 18-carat diamond rings – are sure to make a bold statement. Displaying shimmering and deeply saturated colours of marine and amber, the dotty designs are also spectacularly sea-inspired.

Watch lovers keen to inject a modicum of circular style into their accessories need look no further than Piaget’s new Couture Précieuse. Powered by the 56P quartz movement, this white gold wonder tells discrete time via a clean indexless dial. Where are the dots and spots? In a lattice of 176 brilliant-cut diamonds, all interlinked to form the watch’s cuff-like fastening.

Whether you prefer your circles prominently displayed or subtly referenced, the shape’s timelessness makes it suitable for any occasion.
