HIGH GARDEN

Continuing Dior Joaillerie artistic director Victoire de Castellane’s thematic high jewellery collection based on the Palace of Versailles’s majestic grounds, the latest Dior à Versailles collection revolves around the palace’s botanical gardens. “I wanted that, in each jewel, we rediscover the paradoxical combining of nature and culture, so characteristic of Le Nôtre’s work and of the park at Versailles,” says De Castellane. Cue conversation pieces crafted from sapphirelike florals, emerald thickets, and water jets of diamonds that resonate with the romance of the palace’s ethereal grounds.
