Chopard Unveils Insofu High Jewelry Collection from 6,225-Carat Emerald

Chopard has unveiled the Insofu Collection, featuring 15 high jewelry pieces crafted from a 6,225-carat rough emerald discovered in Zambia. Named 'Insofu,' meaning 'elephant' in Bemba, the collection showcases the gemstone's character through various designs, including an elephant-shaped pendant adorned with emeralds and diamonds. The cutting process for the emerald took almost a year, with skilled gem-cutters ensuring that the delicate stones were transformed into captivating jewelry. The collection includes a range of items such as necklaces, rings, and earrings, drawing inspiration from the Roaring Twenties and embodying the vibrant spirit of the era. Caroline Scheufele, Chopard's co-president, emphasized the importance of the emerald's unique story and character in the design process. This latest offering follows a prior capsule collection debuted at the Oscars, further establishing the Insofu emerald as a significant piece in high jewelry.
