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.

Francesca Amfitheatrof’s first Blue Book collection for Tiffany

April 30, 2015 by Editorial Team

Tiffany Blue Book jewelry honors the sea as the ultimate source of life and beauty.

The beauty in the flora found deep below the surface of the sea inspired Tiffany’s colorful gardens blooming with brilliant gemstones in the 2015 Blue Book. Inspired by the power and the beauty of the sea, these couture jewels, the first creations of designer Francesca Amfitheatrof for Tiffany Blue Book Collection, capture water’s energetic and fluid soul. Sapphires and diamonds represent the riches of the sea and the strength and power of waves. A sea of mixed-cut gemstones, including spessartites, tsavorites, sapphires and aquamarines evoke the diversity of deep-sea life. Sapphires, aquamarines and diamonds in 18k white gold form underlays of rich, radiant color.

“The jewels of the 2015 Blue Book capture water’s energetic and fluid soul, by turns shimmering and brilliant, moody and profound. “Water has endless permutations, never still, never the same.It is nature’s most changeable element.”” said Francesca Amfitheatrof, Tiffany & Co. design director.

The patterns of this mesmerizing bracelet invoke the rhythmic motion of waves breaking on a beach. Tiffany master craftsmen trace water’s hypnotic movement with a mosaic of Montana sapphires, blue sapphires and diamonds.

Black opals, which are distinguished by their exotic play-of-color, reflect the swirling currents of the sea. The magical stones play a starring role in these diamond drop earrings.

Long considered a symbol of royalty, Tahitian pearls are nurtured in the warm waters of the South Seas. For this glamorous bracelet, Tahitian cultured pearls
combined with precisely graduated diamonds that undulate like the ocean’s currents. The bracelet was inspired by 1940s jewelry and is designed to be worn low on the wrist.
