In its 2024 high jewelry collection “Les Formes de la Couleur” (The Shapes of Color), Hermès presents a series of vibrant, sculptural rings that celebrate the expressive power of color. Under the creative direction of Pierre Hardy, the theme “Portraits de la Couleur” (“Portraits of Color”) explores the harmony between hue and form. Each of the five designs pairs a distinct gemstone color with a geometric shape—each stone representing a shape, and each shape reinterpreted through gemstone setting—to evoke a visual symphony of color and geometry.

Red – The Square
The red ring pairs the color red with the square. At its center lies a 3.25-carat square-cut almandine garnet, surrounded by baguette-cut garnets as well as round and rectangular-cut rubies. The interplay of different gemstone species and cuts creates a dynamic depth of color and light, forming a layered, endlessly extending matrix. Blue – The Circle
The blue ring represents the circle. Guided by the philosophy of “the square within the circle,” the design centers on a 1.11-carat round brilliant-cut sapphire, encircled by pavé-set sapphires and interspersed with four cabochon-cut blue chalcedonies. The positioning of the four round gems subtly outlines a perfect square within the circle.

Yellow – The Triangle
The yellow ring pairs yellow gemstones with the triangle, resulting in the boldest design of the collection. Its centerpiece is a 1.53-carat triangular-cut yellow beryl, framed by custom-cut trapezoid yellow sapphires that emphasize the sharp geometry of the form.

Purple – The Oval
The purple ring features an 11.4-carat cabochon-cut purple chalcedony as its main stone, surrounded by round purple sapphires and amethysts arranged in an oval composition—an abstract eye shimmering with vitality.

Green – The Reuleaux Triangle
The green ring centers on a 6.02-carat sugarloaf-cut chrysoprase, bordered by round tsavorites and green sapphires that trace a rhythmic Reuleaux triangle silhouette, creating a design full of movement and organic energy.
