A Collection Inspired by Mediterranean Heritage
Mouawad introduces Olive Crown, an exquisite collection comprising a High Jewellery suite and two Fine Jewellery lines. Drawing inspiration from the olive tree and its enduring significance across Mediterranean cultures, the collection celebrates family heritage, generational continuity and the defining milestones that shape a lifetime.
The Olive Tree: A Symbol of Legacy and Resilience
For thousands of years, the olive tree has been an enduring symbol throughout the Mediterranean, representing peace, wisdom, prosperity and resilience. Its exceptional longevity and ability to flourish across generations form the foundation of the collection’s creative vision. These qualities also resonate with the legacy of Mouawad, the family-owned jewellery house whose identity is deeply connected to heritage, craftsmanship and the preservation of traditions across generations.
The Meaning Behind the Olive Crown
The name Olive Crown draws upon the ancient custom of presenting olive wreaths as symbols of victory, wisdom and distinction. This historic symbolism is reinterpreted through three distinctive expressions, each capturing a different aspect of the olive tree through precious gemstones, intricate detailing and sculptural design.
Olive Crown Imperial: The High Jewellery Statement
At the heart of the collection is Olive Crown Imperial, a High Jewellery suite that captures the richness and magnificence of mature olive groves. Bringing together diamonds, emeralds and chrysoprase, the creations reflect the beauty of flourishing branches and their fruit. The vibrant green gemstones introduce a distinctly Mediterranean character to the designs, complemented by the brilliance of diamonds. Crafted over 350 hours, the necklace and coordinating earrings demonstrate the House’s dedication to detailed workmanship and exceptional craftsmanship.
Exceptional Gemstones and Intricate Craftsmanship
The necklace features 28.96 carats of emeralds, 17.22 carats of chrysoprase and 34.36 carats of diamonds. Its matching earrings are set with 3.59 carats of emeralds, 0.69 carats of chrysoprase and 4.66 carats of diamonds.
Olive Crown Leaves: Botanical Inspiration in Fine Jewellery
Taking a more restrained design direction, the collection’s Fine Jewellery offerings reinterpret the same botanical inspiration through versatile and elegant creations. Olive Crown Leaves draws from the characteristic silhouette of olive foliage, translating its natural contours into recurring motifs. The designs bring together green chrysoprase and white diamonds, alongside creations featuring an entirely diamond-set composition. A flexible necklace adds fluidity and versatility, allowing the piece to move effortlessly between everyday styling and more sophisticated occasions.
Olive Crown Blossom: Celebrating Renewal and New Beginnings
In contrast, Olive Crown Blossom takes inspiration from the delicate flowers of the olive tree. Its floral silhouettes, complemented by subtle green accents, lend the designs a softer and more delicate aesthetic. Centred on themes of renewal, optimism and fresh beginnings, this expression celebrates the beauty and symbolism of the tree’s blossoms.
A Contemporary Expression of Mediterranean Identity
Together, the three interpretations create a cohesive narrative that follows the olive tree’s journey, from its roots and flourishing branches to its delicate blossoms. Through this progression, Olive Crown connects the natural world with the emotional and personal significance associated with fine jewellery. For Mouawad, the collection also represents a contemporary expression of its Mediterranean heritage, bringing generational craftsmanship, family legacy and the enduring value of preserving tradition into focus.
