Caroline Scheufele, co-president and artistic director of Chopard, creates a high-jewellery capsule using a 6,225-carat rough emerald named Insofu, found in Zambia and acquired by Chopard in 2018.
As co-president and artistic director of Chopard , Caroline Scheufele has seen and handled a king’s ransom’s worth of fabulously rare and ravishing gemstones. Yet when she first set eyes on the 6,225-carat rough emerald now named Insofu , she was left speechless. “For reasons that escape any form of rationale, some gemstones blow you away immediately,” she says.
“It is profoundly moving to be confronted with the beauty and mystery of such a treasure, collected from the depths of the Earth, formed millions of years ago.” Scheufele was determined to create something remarkable from the stone, which was found in 2010 in the Gemfields-owned Kagem mine in Zambia and acquired by Chopard in 2018. She brought expert emerald cutters from India to Chopard’s atelier in Geneva and, after weeks studying the rough, they began the cutting process, which took nine months. During this time, Scheufele invited Julia Roberts, Chopard’s global ambassador, to co-design a high-jewellery capsule using the polished gems yielded by Insof
