Since the start, the sun and light have been a limitless source of creative energy for The Sunshine Jeweler. In 1977, Maison FRED’s path crossed with an exceptional yellow diamond of over 100 carats, whose radiant color literally appeared to have just captured the sun.
This discovery married perfectly with Fred Samuel’s vision of radiant and truly luminous jewelry. Its sparkling name, chosen for the occasion, reflects the stone perfectly: Le Soleil d’Or.
Returned to the Maison’s heritage in 2021, the mythical gem continues to both dazzle and inspire. This year, FRED is infusing the solar luminosity of its famous diamond in Soleil d’Or Sunrise, a High Jewelry collection designed to be worn every day.
Its nine creations with their graphic, contemporary lines play with different shades of the sun, captured at two key moments of the day: the soft, warm light it diffuses at sunrise, followed by the sparkling brilliance of its zenith. Recreating the inclination of the sun’s rays in an elegant, draped effect, they showcase shimmering reflections that change with each movement, illuminating the skin with their subtle shimmer.

Playing on the radiance of grain-set yellow diamonds and claw-set white diamonds, the first glimmers of dawn are revealed on a plastron necklace whose strands delicately caress the bust. At the heart of this radiant piece rests a 2-carat yellow diamond, whose Fancy Intense Yellow shade pays tribute to the legendary Soleil d’Or. Forever and never the same, the solar star undergoes a metamorphosis through a clever transformation game on a ring and pair of earrings in yellow gold, white gold, and white diamonds. Reflecting FRED’s predilection for versatile jewelry—now a signature area of expertise for the Maison—each one can be worn in multiple ways, inviting the wearer to create their own sun, with a glowing radiant-cut, white diamond in the center, to suit their own desires. A matching brooch adds a luminous touch to this ultra-precious set.

The dazzling brilliance of the sun at its zenith appears in turn on a necklace, transformable earrings and a ring, with a meticulously crafted white-diamond pavé in a design that recreates this radiant draped effect.
Each of these pieces is set with a single, white diamond in the center, mirroring a second voluptuous ball ring.
Serving as a reminder that the sun illuminates each day, a short necklace reproduces this motif in the spirit of High Jewelry designed to be worn every day.
