Louis Vuitton’s new Fine Jewelry Collection

Louis Vuitton’s renowned craftsmanship is on display in the LV Volt Collection through an expert play of precise, sharp lines and soft, smooth contours. Francesca Amfitheatrof, Louis Vuitton’s artistic director of watches and jewellery, imagined rings, necklaces, bracelets, and earrings worn by both men and women.

Louis Vuitton presents LV Volt, a graphic new collection of unisex jewelry where the iconic LV initials are a metaphor for movement and a symbol of energy. The LV letters come together, split apart, link up, and intertwine in a myriad of textures, volumes, finishes, and dimensions, offering infinite combinations for seamless mixing and matching.

The new collection pulsates with the energy of the initials’ powerful shape, becoming a unit of measure of its own beat and tempo. Ideal for stacking, these pieces can also be combined with others from the range to create a unique, personal style.

Four talents convey the unisex jewelry collection’s bold metaphor for movement: Hugo Marchand, Paris Opera Ballet principal dancer, Alicia Vikander, Swedish Oscar-winning actress, Sharon Alexie, French artist, and XiaoXing Mao, Chinese model.

The Oscar-winning actress Alicia Vikander and Louis Vuitton ambassador brings her classical dance background to the new Fine Jewelry campaign.

Each piece from Louis Vuitton jewelry and watch creations is unique. Caratage and metal weight information is given for information only and may vary slightly from one piece to another.

The ethereal shapes and lines of the Barocko Collection play with the art of light to spectacular effect.

Rome’s Sant’Angelo Bridge is one of the highest expressions of Baroque architecture. With its ten magnificent angel statues, the iconic landmark inspired the Wings of Rome necklace, a diamond masterpiece of overwhelming beauty. Rich in movement, lightness and compelling vitality, the jewel is an imaginary walk through the marvels of the Eternal City. As the diamond-lined feathers of the Wing of Rome necklace fan out across the skin, light and movement allow its angelic wings to truly take flight.

A triumph of quintessential joie de vivre and creative bravery, the Cabochon Exuberance necklace is inspired by Rome’s Horti Farnesiani. The outstanding necklace combines different shapes and colors in a daring one-of-a-kind piece.

Capturing the softness and voluptuousness that Baroque artists instilled in their sculptures, the Ruby Drapery ring plays with white gold, diamonds and a sensational ruby to draw curved, sinuous lines inspired by marble drapery.

The Lady Arabesque necklace captures the creative freedom of the Baroque through Bvlgari’s striking gemstone combinations and an unbelievably rich design.

Baroque art and architecture meet Bvlgari’s rock attitude in the Barocko Collection, all within the entrancing world of artist Ignasi Monreal. Through his work across media and disciplines, Ignasi delves into new dimensions. By fusing classical beauty with modern mediums, he has transported the Bvlgari High Jewelry experience to a higher plane.
