Maison Fred Announces New High Jewelry "Monsieur Fred Golden Light" to Commemorate 90th Anniversary

On July 7, 2026, Maison Fred announced its new high jewelry collection, "Monsieur Fred Golden Light," to commemorate its 90th anniversary.

This collection is the final chapter of the high jewelry trilogy "Monsieur Fred," created to honor the aesthetic sense and spirit of founder Fred Samuel.

The Maison's renowned colored stones and exceptional savoir-faire capture each fleeting moment, transitioning from the tranquility of night to dawn, and finally to the golden morning light that bathes the world.

The setting is the French Riviera, deeply loved by the founder. The collection expresses the light-filled scenery of the South of France, from the horizon where the sea and sky merge, to the mystical atmosphere before dawn, the sparkling sea surface reflecting the morning sun, and the hills where flowers awaken. These are presented as 15 pieces across 5 jewelry sets.

The symbol of this collection is the historic 101.57-carat yellow diamond, "Soleil d’Or." This rare gem, which the Maison first encountered in 1977 and to which it returned in 2021, is set in jewelry for the first time in its long history, exuding an unparalleled presence in the masterpiece "Soleil d’Or Golden Light," which crowns the collection.

Crafted as a supple plastron necklace, this piece is impressively elegant, as if adorned with "lace of light." The central brooch is detachable, embodying the Maison's sophisticated and transformable aesthetic.

Each set within the collection also possesses its own vivid individuality. "Moonlight Reflection" expresses the lingering ambiance of a Cannes night with tanzanite and diamonds. "Promising Dawn" depicts the mysterious "green flash" that appears before sunrise, using opals and emeralds. "Crystalline Joy" features an impressive gradation of tourmalines, reminiscent of the clear morning sea and sky. "Blooming Senses" vibrantly expresses the vitality of mimosa flowers blooming on the hills of Grasse, using fancy yellow sapphires and diamonds.

Vincent Reynes, CEO of Maison Fred, stated: "Since the Maison's founding in 1936, high jewelry has always been a special stage for Fred's expression. The new collection, 'Monsieur Fred Golden Light,' embodies the art of gemstones we have cultivated, bold combinations, and our unique creativity and savoir-faire, all with dazzling brilliance."

Valérie Samuel, Vice President and Artistic Director of Fred, commented: "With this collection, we wanted to capture the magical moments when dawn and the rising sun illuminate our purest emotions. The fact that 'Soleil d’Or' has been set into jewelry for the first time in its long history, and can now be worn, elevates the beauty and emotion of this gem to a new dimension."
