This summer, Louis Vuitton launches its most ambitious high jewelry collection to date: “Virtuosity”. A poetic journey from rigorous craftsmanship to unbounded imagination, the collection spans 110 one-of-a-kind creations across 12 themes, divided between The World of Mastery and The World of Creativity.
The journey begins with "Savoir," where sacred knowledge is embodied in a necklace featuring a rare 30.56ct Australian black opal and a 28.01ct emerald drop, requiring 1,500 hours of expert craftsmanship. The theme continues with "Protection" and "Keeper," highlighting shield motifs, antique rubies, and unisex creations centered around mystical stones like a 32.85ct chrysoberyl and a 5.02ct dual-tone gray-blue diamond.
"Maestria" and "Monumental" display architectural brilliance with intricate Damier patterns and bold emerald settings, while "Apogée" marks the apex of technical mastery, showcasing a 30.75ct Brazilian emerald paired with the Maison’s signature Monogram motifs.
The second universe, The World of Creativity, begins with "Connection," symbolized by diamond-set ropes and pearls, flowing into "Motion," where fluid lines and Sri Lankan sapphires evoke artistic liberation. "Florescence" and "Joy" explode with vibrant tourmalines and intricate mosaics, celebrating color and spontaneity.
"Aura" offers a softer radiance with blush-tone tourmalines and Monogram flower motifs, culminating in "Eternal Sun" – a dazzling finale of solar brilliance with 27 yellow diamonds that took seven years to source.
Infused with Louis Vuitton's heritage and savoir-faire, “Virtuosity” is both a tribute to mastery and a bold leap into uncharted creative territory – a luxurious odyssey where craftsmanship meets boundless artistic expression.
To unveil this exquisite collection, the Maison invited guests to Castel De Bellver in Mallorca for an exclusive presentation. The show was attended by Jin Chen, Urassaya Sperbund, Mina Shin and Ayami Nakajo amongst others, as these high jewelry marvels lit up the atmosphere.
