As the historical partner of the Cannes International Film Festival, the Maison Chopard – under the influence of its Co-President and Creative Director Caroline Scheufele – has consistently affirmed its unconditional love of cinema. Each year, the Trophée Chopard, created in 2001, highlights the up-and-coming generation of the international film industry and shrewdly wagers on the talents of tomorrow by rewarding both a young actress and a young actor, who are ready to shine on the silver screen.

From Audrey Tautou to Marion Cotillard, who won an Oscar in 2008 for her performance in Olivier Dahan’s La Vie en Rose, to Léa Seydoux and Adèle Exarchopoulos, the lead actresses in Blue is the Warmest Colour and with whom director Abdellatif Kechiche shared his Palme d’Or in 2013, to Shailene Woodley, Ezra Miller and John Boyega, actors who have triumphed both in indie movies and in blockbuster productions: all these laureates have confirmed their promise by embarking on brilliant life-changing careers.

Coveted by every film director on the planet, the Palme d’Or honours the best film of the Cannes Film Festival. Redesigned in 1998 by Caroline Scheufele, it has since become a radiant symbol of a love story uniting Chopard with the most glamorous film festival in the world. A testimony to the Maison’s commitment to sustainable luxury, the Palme d’Or is meticulously made each year with Fairmined-certified ethical gold in its Haute Joaillerie workshops. This year brings a first, since in addition to the Palme d’Or, the workshops of the Maison will produce every single trophy to be presented at the Cannes Film Festival closing ceremony, making Chopard the artisan of all these official prizes that catalyze such a wealth of emotions.

Every year since 2007, Chopard’s Co-President and Creative Director Caroline Scheufele has been imagining a Haute Joaillerie collection taking up the extraordinary challenge of releasing a number of jewelry styles equivalent to the edition number of the Festival. Stemming from her boundless imagination and from the peerless mastery of diverse skills within the Chopard workshops, a complete collection of 71 creations will be produced this year, dedicated to the world’s greatest actresses for their red carpet appearances.
