Earlier this year, Rihanna partnered with Chopard co-president Caroline Scheufele to create the Rihanna ♥ Chopard collection of haute joaillerie, which is now available in the UAE.
The capsule collection is inspired by the lush gardens and carnival-like vibe of Rihanna’s island hometown, Barbados. The pieces, some of which come set with diamonds, are made with ethical Fairmined gold, and are defined by their sharp, clean lines and vivid colours – including the jungle green shade of the ceramic personally selected by the singer.
