BEYOND THE LIGHT

AN INITIATIVE JOURNEY TO THE HEART OF ANCIENT EGYPT

This year, Valérie Messika explores the fascinating and mysterious allure of ancient Egypt. She presents a collection of solar and powerful high jewelry: Beyond the Light, an incandescent shower of gold and diamonds, a promise of eternal radiance. The Parisian Maison dreams of a unique and mystical journey. A magical odyssey where passion, audacity and excellence make up a fascinating and majestic collection of art without equal.

La directora artística combina a la perfección sus inspiraciones y su saber hacer. A través de una pureza de formas y líneas gráficas, un aspecto imperial y piedras excepcionales, Valérie Messika dirige una sinfonía retrofuturista sutilmente teñida de Egipto y su mitología hipnótica. Los conjuntos únicos e innovadores en los que los diamantes se transforman pieza a pieza dan como resultado una colección de joyas vibrante y mística.

AKH-BA-KA

LA ODISEA DE UN DIAMANTE EXCEPCIONAL

La Maison of Messika está escribiendo un nuevo capítulo en su historia con un extraordinario diamante de 33 quilates, una piedra extraordinaria que ilumina la pieza central de la colección de Alta Joyería 2022 . Valérie Messika se atreve a asumir un desafío inesperado al crear Akh-Ba-Ka, un conjunto con un diseño inherentemente inspirado en la mitología y el estilo del antiguo Egipto, concebido en diamantes y oro blanco. Los diamantes heroicos que aparecen en el juego son 15 gemas excepcionales cortadas del mismo diamante en bruto de 110 quilates.

En la mitología del antiguo Egipto, KA simboliza la energía vital y BA representa la transformación, desde el vuelo hasta el más allá. De la unión de estas fuerzas brota AKH, la transfiguración de una persona hacia la luz. Por lo tanto Akh-Ba-Ka es trascendencia, una epopeya fascinante de un diamante en bruto, así como una historia de transmisión, familia y saber hacer único.

EL RENACIMIENTO DE UNA PIEDRA EN BRUTO EXTRAORDINARIA

El diamante de 110 quilates es una audaz aventura que comenzó en la mina Lucara en Botswana.

El mapeo de la composición modular es seguido por el momento de la metamorfosis de esta gema en bruto de 110 quilates en 15 diamantes tallados. Un esfuerzo meticuloso, la precisión del trabajo se inspira en la naturaleza misma del diamante en bruto, que dicta qué formas se deben adoptar. La devoción y la experiencia del comerciante de diamantes se han unido al instinto audaz del diseñador para devolver la vida a este diamante en bruto de 110 quilates en un conjunto de alta joyería increíble y único que marca un hito en la historia de Messika Maison.

UNA MAESTRÍA ÚNICA PARA UN COLLAR EXCEPCIONAL

Una verdadera obra maestra dentro del conjunto, el collar cuenta con 2.550 diamantes, con un total de 71,49 quilates. Su diseño contemporáneo pero progresivo reinterpreta el mítico escarabajo alado egipcio gracias a una ingeniosa combinación de diamantes y oro blanco facetado. En el centro de este extraordinario collar, el diamante de 33 quilates se inserta mediante un sutil juego de colgantes. La fuerza de esta gema proviene de sus extraordinarias propiedades: clasificada D por su color y FI por su claridad. Por lo tanto, esta piedra especial es de una pureza muy rara. Su resplandor incomparable lo hace casi incandescente.

To bring out the best in a 33-carat diamond requires vision and know-how backed by exceptional craftsmanship. The creation of Akh-Ba-Ka required over 1,000 man hours, four to five full-time jewelers over 6 months using 800 diamond paves to set the 33-carat diamond. For this adventure in design, the House has multiplied the challenges by designing a transformable piece. The structure that cradles the 33-carat stone can be detached from the necklace to become a brooch. Another challenge more brilliantly taken up by master jewelers.

Carte Blanche High Jewelry Collection July 2022

 

Ailleurs – Elsewhere – is where Claire Choisne and her studio are taking us with this new Collection. An “elsewhere” where everything becomes possible, without any borders, and where nature is in a raw state. From the deserts to the oceans, the mountains to the rainforests, Studio Boucheron has confronted and mixed together worlds and materials one could initially think are contradictory; where diamonds meet pebbles and burnt wood, gold meets rattan and meteorite.

Holographique

Carte Blanche High Jewelry Collection July 2021

“With this Holographique collection, I sought to offer Boucheron a new definition of light. To capture its essence, I used color. Each piece is like a prism that captures the complexity of light by representing all the colors that comprise it. Each piece reveals the colors of the world in a new light.”

FRENCH ART DE VIVRE

Louis Vuitton celebrates the House’s savoir-faire in London

THE JOURNEY THROUGH LONDON

Introducing French Art de Vivre: “Louis Vuitton and London” celebrates the House’s savoir-faire and its spirit of permanent innovation.

Featuring an admirable collection of trunks from the Maison’s archives, this exhibition pays tribute to the history that has linked Louis Vuitton to London since Georges Vuitton opened his first store in the city on March 1, 1885. Located at number 289 Oxford Street, this was the first store outside of France.

 

Proud of his family heritage and keen to promote both his passion for design and the influence of France abroad, the creator added the Gallic tricolor flag to his own signage. In one of the windows of the London store he placed a similar sign, along with one of the Louis Vuitton bed trunks used by French officers on their missions abroad, in a first example of singular window dressing.

In 1889, Georges opened a new establishment opposite Charing Cross, one of the most important London railway stations. Years later, in 1900, and with the intention of reflecting the sophistication of his creations, Georges decided to move to the heart of the city’s luxury district, at 149 New Bond Street, near where the current store is located today. .

celebrates the House’s savoir-faire and its spirit of ongoing innovation.

In a tribute to the history that ties Louis Vuitton to London, since Georges Vuitton opened his first store in the city on March 1, 1885, this exhibition houses an admirable collection of trunks from the House’s archives.

The Men’s Club combines historical pieces from the archives together with current collections that exalt British art of lifestyle and entertainment. Created in the legendary Asnières workshop (France), each and every Louis Vuitton trunk brings to life the dreams and wishes of its customers around the world.

The sporting pastimes of the classic British lifestyle take center stage with splendid trunks such as those for poker games and outdoor activities. Trunks for casino games and DJ music celebrate recreational pursuits, while carrying trunks for champagne, wine and caviar extol the art of tasting.

In addition, the Men’s Club honors the spirit of its founder, Louis Vuitton, the inventor of a true “Art of Luggage”, with a selection of trunks for travel by land, sea and air.
