Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus brought a new chapter of luxury to Miami as they jointly hosted the third edition of the Bejewelled Ball — the first time the two retail icons collaborated for this celebrated showcase of high jewellery and fine timepieces. Guests were welcomed into an intimate, immersive world where rare creations, limited editions and masterworks were presented with exceptional attention to detail.
Set against the dramatic backdrop of the Faena Hotel, the experience echoed the spirit of the Bejeweled Ball and its famed Look Book, offering collectors a closer look at standout artistry. Nearly half of the jewels on display were exclusive to this year’s event, reflecting both retailers’ shared vision for curated, high-touch luxury moments that strengthen ties with clients and maisons.
Throughout the day, private appointments allowed each brand to unveil its universe through bespoke installations. This year’s highlights included:
Boucheron
Presented a refined selection from its iconic Quatre, Serpent Bohème, Flèche, Animaux and Plume de Paon lines, including three rare high-jewellery creations such as the signature Question Mark necklace.
Chopard
Displayed pieces blending heritage with modern elegance, featuring masterpieces from the Red Carpet, Happy Diamonds, Ice Cube and Alpine Eagle collections. A key attraction was the Ice Cube Secret Watch — a gold and diamond-set creation concealing a hidden dial, representing hundreds of hours of meticulous craftsmanship.
Etho Maria
Revealed an array of striking designs, from medallion and V-shaped diamond necklaces to titanium-and-gold earrings crafted for statement wear. One-of-a-kind pieces featuring pavé pink and fancy-cut white diamonds showcased the maison’s bold yet refined aesthetic.
Pomellato
Shared exceptional jewels from its Ode to Milan and Dualism of Milan collections, including rare high-jewellery parures. The standout was the Indigolite Blue Suite, built around the vivid blue-green indigolite gemstone and detailed with over 2,000 hand-set stones.
Siegelson
Brought an unmatched curation of 75 significant works from the 20th century, highlighting pieces known for their artistry, provenance and influence on modern design.
Yeprem
Displayed some of its most celebrated collections, from Y-Conic to Queenship, each defined by sculptural forms and expressive diamond work. Highlights included La Rose de Minuit, a limited-edition jewel composed of 665 diamonds, and innovative interpretations of pearls from the Pearlescent line.
The ballroom transformed into a dreamlike escape inspired by tropical vintage elegance, complete with lush palm arrangements, sculptural florals and warm Miami undertones. Live performances and a tailored culinary experience added to the atmosphere, making the evening feel both intimate and indulgent.
Leaders from each participating maison, collectors and distinguished clients gathered to celebrate exceptional craftsmanship and the creativity that defines the world of high jewellery. This year’s edition reaffirmed the Bejewelled Ball as a signature moment on the luxury calendar, where artistry, exclusivity and immersive storytelling merge seamlessly.
