The New Era of Couture & High Jewelry
Diamonds really are a girl’s best friend and so are rubies, sapphires, crystals, you get the gist. This season’s Couture Jewelry came with a new inspiration: Art Deco. It is all about opulence and luxury and so are these new high jewelry collections! This truly is The new era of Couture Jewelry.
First, Art Deco – Get Into It!
Art Deco, also known as Deco, is a style that was inspired by visual arts, architecture, and design. Firstly noticed in France just before World War I, it influenced the design of buildings, furniture, jewelry, fashion, and almost everything around us. The perfect blend of modern styles with fine craftsmanship and luxurious materials. It is the representation of all things decadent, precious, and exotic. Its style was inspired by bold geometric forms of Cubism, the vivid colors of Fauvism; the modern craftsmanship of the furniture of the eras of Louis Philippe I and Louis XVI, and the exotic styles of China, Persia, Japan, and ancient Egyptian art. It featured rare and expensive materials, such as ebony and ivory, and, again, it was all about the impeccable craftsmanship.

Now that we know all about Art Deco, let’s get to know the new Couture collections that came to conceive this new era for High Jewelry.
Van Cleef & Arpels
The new Sous les Etoiles collection takes inspiration from the cosmos and combines 150 high jewelry pieces. “For this new collection, we wanted to prolong the adventure that began with Jules Verne, by exploring the literary and scientific tradition of which his work forms a part. It led us to the Greek philosopher Lucian of Samosata imagining a voyage in space.”

Chanel
Chanel also got on board with this revolution in Couture Jewelry and so, this season we got a seventy-piece collection very much inspired by Gabrielle Chanel’s passion for Venice. The collection emphasizes contemporary and sculptural pieces sparked by the city. Looking into its crystals feels like traveling through the rivers of Venice.

Hello, If you have access to SEPA system and the current crisis hasn’t affected you financially, please consider helping someone who was doing ok, but has become disabled by an illness in an EU country, where the medical and social systems have been destroyed essentially even before the covid. I you feel you could help with however small an amount, first of all I’m immensely grateful for that, second of all please send me an email to hand{{[@[})mailo.com (removing all the brackets) so I can send you my bank details.
I need the money to move to and live for a while in a country where I can get the neccessary medical help. Otherwise my life is done effectively as with this disability I can’t work and, as I mentioned, there’s no help in my country. I’d like to raise about 45k-50k euros initially for a year’s worth of living and treatments.
I will endeavour to send the money back to you if I’m unable to reach enough funds or if I don’t need as much. Hopefully I can update you here or by email about my progress if you decide to help out. I will try to return as much of the funds as I can when I can work again.
Thank you for taking time to read this and if you feel there’s people in greater need, I’ll understand.
I gained weight and swelled to the point my rings didn’t fit me anymore. I chose for my jewelry collection to offer rings that are adjustable with mothers in mind as well as the standard fit. You will be able to wear the jewelry piece during every season of your life, pregnancy and everyday. That’s my promise to you.
