Cannes, May 2026. Once again, the Croisette becomes the place where the world of cinema and the world of haute joaillerie meet in a single flash of light. Chopard, Official Partner of the Cannes International Film Festival, presents its Red Carpet Collection 2026 under the name Miracles.

These are not miracles from fairy tales. Not the supernatural. Caroline Scheufele, Co-President and Artistic Director of Maison Chopard, had something far closer in mind: a sky at just the right moment, a flower in an unexpected colour, the movement of an animal caught in a moment of pure spontaneity. Stones that waited millions of years deep within the earth, until human hands finally reached them. These are quiet, everyday miracles — and that is precisely why they move us so deeply.

A Tradition Nearly Two Decades in the Making

Chopard and Cannes share a singular bond. For almost twenty years, a new Red Carpet Collection has been created each year as a tribute to the meeting of two worlds — cinema and exceptional craftsmanship. Both work with emotion, with story, with a moment that wants to be captured and preserved.

On the red carpet, jewels do not merely become accessories. They become part of the image, part of the story that audiences around the world remember. And that is precisely why Chopard creates them as talismans — not as simple adornments, but as objects that carry something more within them.

This year, that story is called Miracles.

A Perspective That Changes Everything

Behind the collection lies a simple yet powerful idea: the way we see the world determines what we find in it. Caroline Scheufele has woven this philosophy into every piece of the collection. Every stone, every line, every shape was chosen with the understanding that beauty does not lie in grandeur — it lies in attention.

"Miracles are often modest: they are born of a detail, a light, an unexpected emotion. This collection is an invitation to look at them differently," says Scheufele.

The Miracles collection is thus a journey into a world of visual poetry — inspired by nature, its wonders and mysteries, its precious stones and their luminous colours. It is a world where a Royal Blue sapphire becomes a symbol of the earth's depths, where a phoenix embodies the miracle of rebirth, and where a butterfly resting on a flower conceals time beneath its wing.

Craftsmanship as a Miracle in Itself

Before any idea can become a jewel, it must pass through the Haute Joaillerie ateliers in Geneva. And it is here that perhaps the greatest miracle of the entire collection takes place — the invisible one.

Jewellers shape ethical gold as though it were a living material. Setters of diamonds, sapphires and tourmalines work with a patience that cannot be measured in hours. Lapidaries reveal the fire at the heart of each stone — a fire that has been there for ages, waiting for a human hand to bring it into the light. Every gesture, every technique is passed down with precision, from the first sketched line to the final play of light on the finished piece.

Each creation requires dozens of hours of work — sometimes many more. Because no two miracles are alike. They are only delicate interpretations of what nature has offered, and what human ingenuity has been able to transform into a story.

Cannes as a Stage for Miracles

The jewels of the Miracles collection will be seen on the red carpet in Cannes — on the hands and around the necks of those who come to celebrate the art of storytelling. And that is perhaps the most fitting context that could have been chosen.

Because Cannes is, by its very nature, a place that believes in the power of story. Where a film can change the way we see the world. Where a single shot can say more than a thousand words. And Chopard's jewels — just like a great film — remind us that the world is full of miracles. All it takes is the willingness to see them.
