TROPHÉE CHOPARD

The house also presented its 2015 Trophée Chopard – which recognises the finest up-and-coming stars and is now in its 15th edition – to Lola Kirke and Jack O’Connell for their performances in Gone Girl and Unbroken respectively.

Julianne Moore handed this year’s awards to Kirke and O’Connell in a ceremony at the Martinez hotel, which was attended by festival President Pierre Lescure, Director Thierry Frémaux along with former laureates of the trophy.

Chopard also revealed a new line of diffusion jewellery in ethically mined gold on the sidelines of the festival, which is now in its 68th year.

Called Palm Verte, the line draws its inspiration from the famous Palme d’Or trophy, the highest prize awarded at the festival. 

Part of the Green Carpet Collection, the Palme Verte collection is crafted in Fairmined 18-karat yellow gold, and “is to be worn like a talisman that one never takes off”. 

The Palme Verte line is part of Chopard’s “journey to sustainable luxury” launched in partnership with Eco-Age and its creative director Livia Firth. 

Awarded to the director of the best film at the festival since 1955, the Palme d’Or is a reference to the coat of arms of the city of Cannes in France.

With the Palme d’Or celebrating its 60th anniversary this year, Chopard has been paying tribute to it through several creations, ranging from haute joaillerie to dainty, restrained jewellery lines.

The Palme Verte collection comprises earrings, a pendant, a ring and a bracelet and is suited to daily wear.
