Four of LVMH French-based brands – Chaumet, Dior Joaillerie, Louis Vuitton and Bulgari – have presented new high jewelry collections in conjunction with autumn/winter 2017 Paris haute couture week held earlier this month. In a recent article, LVMH scans some of the highlights from each jewel collection.
Chaumet
Chaumet unveiled its music-themed high jewelry collection in the Musée des Arts Forains in Paris. The collection, dubbed “Chaumet est une fête”, features pieces connected to “engagement, wedding, formal balls or an evening at the opera or 1920s music hall”.
Dior Joaillerie
Dior Joaillerie presented a collection designed by Artistic Director Victoire de Castellane, who continues to explore “an organic and idyllic Versailles”. The diamonds in the pieces are cut to recall “meticulously sculpted box trees, or the freer shapes of flower petals”. They feature sapphire blues and tourmalines.
Louis Vuitton
Louis Vuitton’s new collection, called Conquêtes, “celebrates the strong and independent Louis Vuitton woman”. The collection brings together, for the first time, the Monogram flower and the V, two of the Maison’s signature motifs. They feature “ Paraiba tourmalines, mandarin or tsavorite garnets, opals and imperial topaz”.
Bulgari
The new Bulgari high jewelry collection, unveiled in Rome, is entitled “Fiesta” and features over a hundred jewels and watches. It is inspired by “emblematic figures whose destinies helped shape the legend of Rome”, such as Marie Mancini and Margherita di Savoia. Two highlights include the Palio necklace and bracelet, which are inspired by the famous annual horse race in the heart of Siena. The pieces inclue gold, enamel, diamonds as well as tourmalines, turquoise, coral and jade stones.
