The mystery of the night in a jewel

Halloween night draws near, awakening the imagination with visions of a shadowed world, woven from arcane symbols and muted lights, in which Gothic allure merges with subtle seduction and a trace of fear. Beyond the familiar repertoire ­– cobwebs, ghosts, skulls, and other spectral emblems – lie subtler inspirations that have long guided jewelry design: the night as myth, as emotion, as an inner geography. A realm in which anything can unfold, where imagination roams freely and boundaries dissolve. The result is a magnetic “nocturne” aesthetic, well expressed by the maison J’OR, beginning with material to capture the very heart of the night. In its Zahara bracelet, carbon fiber becomes a nocturnal canvas from which a flower blossoms, illuminated by green tourmaline and pavé diamonds: a modern talisman for those who embrace the shadow without hesitation. Italo Bottene interprets dark romance in a contemporary key with the Ib Noir ring, crafted in rose gold, black diamonds, and corundum, seducing with its emotive presence. Lisa O., by contrast, channels the allure of night in a gentler, more intimate register: in the Dancing under the Stars ring, golden stars sway like delicate fringe pendants in 18-carat gold, while a small central diamond evokes a sky that protects, watches, and cherishes.
