Lorsque Diderot publie Les Bijoux indiscrets, il est marié depuis cinq ans. Il a eu le temps de s'apercevoir que foyer conjugal ne rime pas nécessairement avec régal. C'est donc du côté des amours illicites (il est alors l'amant de Mme de Puisieux), des jeux libertins et des défis pour rire qu'est née l'idée de cette fantaisie érotico-orientale. Il a aussi le projet de gagner rapidement de l'argent. Plus tard, honteux d'un texte aussi frivole, Diderot, devenu l'homme de l'Encyclopédie, aura tendance à insister sur les motifs mercantiles. Mais peu importent les excuses, Les Bijoux indiscrets, seul roman publié de son vivant, lui appartient. Il participe avec brio du registre de son désir et de sa veine romanesque.
