The new high jewellery collection from Victoire de Castellane for the Maison Dior pursues the exploration of the Royal domain. The very symbol of french art, Versailles serves as inspiration for this collection, the most emblematic French-style garden, the architectural, the ornamental detailing. Using a path of emeralds or water jets of diamonds and multicolored sapphire flowers.

The shapes of petals is assembled into a stained-glass effect, Sapphire blues interprete the movements of the water, the backs of the rings the ornamental lakes. Each jewel fix the instant into eternity. The earrings comes in couples telling one tale. Each jewell is a dream-come-true in an idealized Versailles.

I wanted that, in each jewel, we rediscover the paradoxical combining of nature and culture, so characteristic of Le Notre’s work and of the part at Versailles   -Victoire de Castellane
