Hermès introduced this Miroir d’Ombre necklace and ring set in its 2022 Les Jeux de l’Ombre High Jewelry collection. The name, French for “Mirror of the Shadow,” interprets the bold concept of the shadow detaching from its subject and existing as an independent entity, showcasing the distinctive aesthetic taste of Hermès Jewelry Creative Director Pierre Hardy.

Both pieces in this set feature a striking cushion-cut yellow diamond as the centerpiece, displaying a radiant and warm sparkle. The designer used white gold to create a traditional bezel setting, emphasizing the distinct geometric outline of the “shadow subject.

The Miroir d’Ombre Necklace is designed with an overlapping double-chain structure:

The “Subject” of the necklace is composed of linked baguette diamonds, presenting a slender and delicate silhouette.

The “Shadow” lies beneath, crafted from blackened metal and paved with dark sapphires, light sapphires, and diamonds. This creates a natural gradient from deep blue to white, forming a striking color contrast with the yellow diamond centerpiece.

The Ring similarly employs a three-dimensional double-layer design. The yellow diamond is positioned at an angle across the top, creating a subtle asymmetric layout. The entire ring surface is paved with diamonds, light sapphires, and dark sapphires, forming a coherent gradient of color and giving the shadow a unique vitality.
