Van Cleef & Arpels
Van Cleef & Arpels Ballet Precieux collection was first introduced in 2006, showcasing the Maison’s fondness for the gracefulness of ballet. The brand’s fascination with with this style of dance began with co-founder Louis Arpels, who was a longtime patron of Opera Garnier. As a result, Van Cleef & Arpels crafted the first ballerina clips in the 1940s, which later became a signature style. This year, three new designs of these clips were crafted, incorporating statement rubies, emeralds, and diamonds into the delicate mystique of the Camille, Albertina, and Dulcinea styles. In addition to these iconic brooches, the Lady Danse Duo timepieces were also unveiled, featuring dancers on watch faces in a jazzy cartoon colour blocking style, complimenting the Ballet Precieux range in a more exuberant style.
Louis Vuitton

The fiery passion of the young Louis Vuitton is celebrated through the exceptional interpretation of house emblems in various necklaces, using 1700 gemstones throughout the collection to pay homage to the courage of the man who started it all. Bravery is emblematic of this bold spirit, expressing the elegant power of reinvention that the Maison has demonstrated over the years. Each stone took a total of three years to excavate, highlighting the quest for quality which is tied into the brand’s DNA. Grand pieces such as large sapphire bracelets, silver bands, LV-shaped diamonds, and elegant stacked chokers are featured in the collection, reflecting the grandeur of Vuitton’s heritage, while also celebrating the enduring elegance he was able to share with the world.
