A new collection from De Grisogono was announced today (apparently they do their press releases on Sunday) with just a few pieces, all fruit. I don't usually like his work (see previous examples), but these aren't awful. They're well rendered, not overly gaudy and taught me a new French word: Pastèques means watermelon, the first pair of pieces.
Watermelon
| Watermelon Earrings - White gold set with red and black sapphires, emeralds and peridots. As he's always so proud of being one of the first jewelers to use black diamonds, I'm surprised Fawaz Gruosi didn't use them here. | Watermelon pendent, of the same materials |

Melon
| Melon Earrings - Tzavorite and Peridot set in yellow gold form the melon. The flower scar at the bottom of each is a single yellow sapphire, a nice little touch | Melon Necklace - same materials as the earrings |
 |  |
Orange
| Orange Pendent - cabochon orange sapphires represent the segments and faceted ones are the skin. The white pinth is done in diamonds | Orange ring - same materials |
