Ice Cube: Chopard Celebrates Lunar New Year With Two New Creations
With the advent of Lunar New Year, Chopard unveils two exclusive additions to its iconic Ice Cube collection: a pendant and a bracelet that marry the Maison’s signature minimalist aesthetic with a bold, contemporary twist, in vibrant red HyCeram®. These creations pay tribute to the Year of the Horse, a symbol of freedom, energy, and success.

Fire-red ice cubes
Since its inception, the Ice Cube collection has embodied a modern approach to jewellery design, drawing on the aesthetic perfection of the cube to create pure, architectural lines.
Today, Chopard introduces a refined triple-row design that enhances the collection’s geometric purity. Each piece features two rows of faceted Ice Cube elements in 18-carat ethical rose gold, framing a central gadroon of fiery red HyCeram®, a high-performance material composed of 60% ceramic.
This bold contrast of textures and volumes creates a striking visual signature, perfectly suited to the spirited energy of the Fire Horse year. The seventh animal in the Chinese zodiac, it is celebrated for its speed and strength, though legend says it only finished in that position during the Jade Emperor’s race as a result of being startled by the Snake. The Year of the Fire Horse in 2026 combines the Horse’s natural energy with the Fire element’s intensity, symbolizing freedom, energy, and bold ambition for success.
Alongside Chopard’s ethical gold, HyCeram® adds a similarly expressive energy to the collection. The choice of its intense colour and polished finish infuse the creations with modern character, while offering exceptional resistance to scratches and wear. This innovative material complements the sharp facets of the miniature ice cubes, sculpted using Chopard’s proprietary diamond tools for crisp, architectural precision.
The necklace features a central pendant suspended from a delicate chain, made in-house, designed to move freely and catch the light from every angle. The bracelet, crafted with a sleek cord, offers flexibility and comfort, making it an elegant companion for festive celebrations and beyond.
