Hokusai’s Waves Meet Art Nouveau’s Grace
Simone Jewels unveils the latest High Jewellery collection, ROMANCE DE L’ART NOUVEAU: Hokusai—a breathtaking tribute to artistic mastery and the eternal allure of nature.
Inspired by Katsushika Hokusai’s The Great Wave off Kanagawa, this collection captures the dynamic movement of the sea while seamlessly intertwining the fluid elegance of Art Nouveau design.
At the heart of this collection lies a celebration of duality—the interplay between chaos and serenity, strength and fluidity. Hokusai’s famed depiction of the sea’s raw power is reimagined in high jewellery that mirrors the ocean’s rhythmic movement.
The philosophy of Art Nouveau, with its flowing lines and organic motifs, lends itself beautifully to this artistic tribute, transforming waves into sculpted gold and shimmering gemstones.
Each piece is a reflection of movement and artistry, capturing the spirit of the ocean and the elegance of nature in a poetic dance of form and light.
A Symphony of Art, Nature, and Elegance
Tidal Impressions
This stunning necklace is a tribute to Japanese woodblock printing, the very technique behind Hokusai’s iconic Great Wave off Kanagawa. Diamond-studded waves and sculpted Chalcedony, designed in three variations and repeated across ten frames, mirror the art form’s repetitive rhythm, while luminous Akoya Pearls drift like sea foam between the frames.
At its heart, a rare 158.87-carat Certified Unheated Topaz—an ocean in gemstone form—serves as a detachable pendant. A true masterpiece, this necklace embodies the poetry of the sea, seamlessly weaving together nature, art, and the pinnacle of high jewellery savoir-faire.
The Ocean's Serenade
A symphony of fluidity and elegance, these exquisite earrings echo the rhythmic motion of waves, their sinuous lines capturing the sea’s ever-changing grace. Unheated vivid blue Sapphires glisten like droplets of the deep, their brilliance evoking infinite depths.
Designed for versatility, detachable elements allow multiple styles, adapting like shifting currents. At the base, baroque South Sea pearls showcase nature’s artistry—a reminder that the ocean’s finest treasures are those shaped by time and tide.
A Collection for the Romantics
A collection for the dreamers, romantics, and those who find poetry in every wave, ROMANCE DE L’ART NOUVEAU: Hokusai is also an experience—an ode to nature’s beauty, the artistry of the past, and the elegance of the present.
