Sure, there’re still a few more weeks to go before Valentine’s Day is upon us again, but finding that perfect gift to encapsulate your feelings for that special someone in your life may not be such an easy task after all. So, take our advice, and start your quest early this year.
Thankfully, there’s always icons like Swiss luxury watchmaker and jeweller Piaget to depend on when it comes to important moments like this. After all, just as how every romantic relationship has its own story, every one of Piaget’s jewellery and horological creations is a symbol of the uniqueness of undivided devotion. Thus, the tale of how the rose became the symbol of everlasting love and devotion comes to the fore this time around.
The common practice of sending roses to loved ones apparently first came about during the 19th century as the flower were used as a symbol of love by the Victorians. Depending on their colour, they could indicate the deepness or innocence of that love, ranging from white for purity to burgundy for an almost uncontrollable adoration. With all this in mind, be prepared to up your game this romantic season by choosing that perfect gift to your betrothed from a selection of outstanding, brand new Rose creations from the Piaget.
Choices range from bracelets, necklaces, sautoirs and earrings in 18K white gold embraced with rare crafts, to exclusive gemstones. The alluring white gold sautoir is certainly a standout from this collection and features a multitude of roses along a chain. The roses, with its new Ajourée design motif, bring a touch of modernity to Piaget’s iconic Rose in evoking the silhouette of a delicate flower.
Meanwhile, the bracelet, with its delicately assembled diamond petals, perfectly reproduces the characteristic volume of rose petals with three chains and marquise diamonds, creating an ultra-chic version of this highly symbolic flower.
Should timepieces be something you’d favour more as a gift, however, then the Piaget Possession is a watch collection definitely worth some attention. It’s set in an elegant 29mm 18K rose gold case, and features an external ring with diamonds to remind you just how much your significant other means to you every time they touch the spinning circle of gems.
There’s also the 38mm 18K rose gold Piaget Altiplano in an intense shade of blue that blends very well with its slender rose gold hour marker, appropriately signifying the true declaration of love on the upcoming very special day.

Indeed, roses have always been part of the life of Yves Piaget and of the history of his famous House. These authentic muses have consistently accompanied and inspired both watch and jewellery creations alike over the years, and the enduring Piaget Rose collection looks all set to continue this tradition in 2021 and beyond.
