Les Griffes

JUNE 2026 | 6 PIECES | RUBIES,SAPPHIRES,EMERALDS,PADPARADSCHA

Karlito Les Griffes worn, five jewelled platinum fingertip claws on one hand raised across the face

THE COLLECTION

Five claws, one for each finger of a hand. Each grips the base of the nail, curls underneath the fingertip, and runs out into a point.

Platinum throughout. Every claw carries a different stone and a different architecture, and every one ends in a faceted tip set flush to the metal rather than a cabochon. Worn together they are a parure. Worn one at a time, a claw is a ring you wear at the end of the finger.

01

La Collana

A collar of paired talons, each pair closing on a single oval stone. There is no bezel and no pavé anywhere on it. Nothing holds the stones but the same metal that makes the shape.

Ruby, emerald, sapphire and diamond run around the arc to a cushion fancy yellow diamond at the throat, set in yellow gold inside a rosette of claws opening outward. At the nape, two claws hook into each other and close the necklace.

02

La Griffe Impériale

Thumb. A raised spine of graduated pigeon blood rubies running the length of the claw, closing on a pear cut ruby at the point.

The largest of the five, because the thumb is the one finger that can carry it.

Karlito La Griffe Padparadscha, a platinum fingertip claw scattered with padparadscha sapphires and pink diamonds

03

La Griffe Padparadscha

Ring. Oval padparadscha sapphires and pink diamonds scattered across the claw rather than lined up, falling toward a round padparadscha at the point.

The one piece in the set with no axis. The stones are placed, not repeated.

04

La Griffe de Saphir

Index. A single channel of calibrated Kashmir sapphires cut to the taper of the claw, ending in a marquise sapphire.

Every stone is cut narrower than the one before it, so the channel closes evenly instead of widening or breaking.

Karlito La Griffe Emeraude, a pave platinum fingertip claw crowned with an emerald cut Colombian emerald

05

La Griffe Émeraude

Middle. One emerald cut Colombian emerald set as a crown in a field of pavé, with a round emerald at the tip.

The hero of the five, and the only one built around a single important stone rather than a run of them.

06

La Griffe de Saphir

Little finger. Full pavé, icy white, across the whole claw, finishing in a marquise fancy vivid yellow diamond.

The smallest of the five and the brightest, and the one that catches first when the hand moves.
