The Roaring Lion Choker: A Fusion of Strength, Artistry, and Avant-Garde Jewelry Craftsmanship

Philippe Vergez's latest creation, The Roaring Lion Choker, has been awarded the prestigious Silver A' Design Award in the Jewelry Design category for 2025. This bold statement piece, inspired by the fearless spirit of artist Qymira, stands out for its sculptural white gold lion motif, dynamic faceting, and the harmonious interplay of Tahitian pearls and white diamonds. The choker is a tribute to empowerment and individuality, capturing the essence of strength and artistry in wearable form.

Meticulously handcrafted across ateliers in New York, Bayonne, and Hong Kong, the choker was developed over five months, combining traditional jewelry techniques with modern innovation. Each element-from the faceted lion's head to the carefully set diamonds and precisely drilled pearls-reflects a commitment to both durability and comfort. Stainless steel rods provide structural integrity while allowing flexibility, ensuring the piece remains stable even during Qymira's energetic stage performances.

The design process was rooted in extensive research, blending historical regalia with contemporary faceting and 3D modeling. Overcoming challenges such as achieving a floating yet stable fit, the team perfected the balance between visual impact and wearability. The result is a choker that not only commands attention but also invites conversation, serving as a powerful symbol of personal expression and technical excellence. The Silver A' Design Award recognizes The Roaring Lion Choker's outstanding craftsmanship, innovation, and its contribution to the evolution of contemporary jewelry.
