Julia Roberts is sitting on a cozy chocolate-colored sofa in a villa at West Hollywood’s Sunset Marquis two days before the Oscars, gazing affectionately at her newest project. “This is all me,” she says, pausing for a moment and then flashing her unmistakable megawatt grin to confirm that she is, in fact, just kidding.

The Oscar winner did, however, have a hand in the creation of what’s elegantly placed on a luxe tray in front of her: a three-piece Chopard high jewelry set consisting of a necklace, earrings and oversized ring (all one of a kind) featuring emeralds, turquoise and

This, however, is not the case with the engagement ring trends of 2024, all of which feel like subtle updates on designs with staying power.

“It has been challenging but we have learned so much from aluminum,” Ms. Hemmerle said. “Sometimes you need to walk through a new door to find out what is behind it.”

In the construction of the earrings, Mr. Hemmerle said, art connoisseurs may find echoes of the art of Agostino Bonalumi, Paolo Scheggi and Enrico Castellani, postwar Italian artists known for their spatial experimentation and whose work inspired the jewelry.
