There are creations that adorn. And then, there are those that transcend. More than an heirloom of history, POBEDA shines as a radiant tribute to memory, endurance, and the indomitable human spirit.
Unveiled by the high jewellery maison Jatual Paris, POBEDA marks the 80th anniversary of the Allied victory in the Second World War, and this museum-grade masterpiece is one that reflects the fragile hope that arose from it. POBEDA is a necklace created to commemorate the human stories, and to honour the memory of those who endured unimaginable loss. This piece is designed to give a glint of triumph, while standing as a symbol of resilience, and a reminder that from history’s harshest shadows, hope can rise.
Crafted under the artistic direction of Aurélien Bir, a virtuoso whose pedigree includes Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels, POBEDA is the culmination of more than a year of uncompromising passion and precision. “We wanted to honour not just victory,” Bir shares, “but the emotion of survival, of unity.”
A Design Rooted in Legacy and Strength
The heart of this masterpiece is a rare 23.4-carat Fancy Vivid Red diamond, called “Red Square”, as it’s cut into a perfect square. This exceptional crimson stone draws a subtle, powerful connection to Moscow’s Red Square, a place of monumental history and symmetry - its geometry echoed in the architectural form of the gem. Around it, a constellation of light unfolds: 52.86 carats of shimmering trillion-cut diamonds and 80.95 carats of dazzling princess cuts, each of exceptional D–F colour and VVS clarity. Together, they form a silent dialogue between place and memory, colour and emotion.
This extraordinary composition owes much to the refined expertise of Roman Kushnir, Jatual’s Head Gemmologist. Widely respected for his mastery, Kushnir’s discerning eye guided the rigorous stone selection process – a sophisticated orchestration of quality, rarity and emotional resonance that elevates POBEDA to its singular stature.
Seventy natural rubies pulse like living embers, breathing warmth into the icy brilliance of the white gold setting. Among them, a singular vision - a 12.32-carat pentagon-cut diamond, flanked by two matching penta-gems totalling 1.04 carats, adding intrigue and asymmetry to this regal design.
Sculpted from 178 grams of 18k white gold, POBEDA transcends valuation. Forming the heart of a sacred trinity — joined by a ring and a bracelet, each echoes the necklace’s luminous geometry. Centred with fiery red square diamonds and framed by the razor-sharp brilliance of white trillion-cut stones, the set embodies a powerful harmony of strength and elegance.
Priceless, Yet Appraised
Though certified and appraised by the Swiss Gemological Laboratory (SGL), POBEDA’s true worth lies beyond numbers, standing for the resilience, artistry, and reverence of a storied past.
An Heirloom of Craftsmanship
Every detail of POBEDA has been meticulously crafted. Its bespoke presentation case, handcrafted in Italy by the artisans at ToBe Packing, is a masterpiece in its own right - sculpted from fine Italian wood, inlaid with burnished metal accents, and lined with Alcantara, a luxurious suede-like textile.
In a nod to heritage and craftsmanship, the wood has been treated using the same centuries-old varnishing techniques once employed by Stradivarius and Amati, the legendary luthiers behind the world’s most revered violins. This ancient method not only enriches the grain and deepens the tones, but also lends the surface a lustrous, amber-like sheen, echoing the exquisite finish of a Stradivarius. The result is a jewel box imbued with soul and reverence. Weighing over 10 kilograms, it is a vessel truly worthy of the treasure it holds.
“Our work is about more than adornment,” Bir reflects. “It is about echoing the sentiment that nothing is forgotten, no one is forgotten.” Because eventually, POBEDA is not just a jewel. It is memory, preserved. To remind us that even in the gravest darkness, humanity finds a way to shine.
