THE ARROW

Both a metaphor for Mr Vuitton’s journey and a literal interpretation of the first letter of his surname, the arrow has actually already been adopted as a personal emblem by Gaston-louis Vuitton, the founder’s grandson. Diagonally pavé-set as a three-coloured pattern of rubies, blue sapphires and diamonds, the motif takes centre stage on the Arrow Necklace. Curling around the hollow of the neck like an ultra-precious scarf, it flaunts a 2.61-carat D-colour IF Type 2A LV Monogram Flower-cut diamond and a royal blue Sri Lankan sapphire of over 26 carats at the tip like a drop pendant. It may be worn in three different ways, and is part of an entire parure that also includes a solitaire ring crowned with an extremely rare velvety-blue, 18.62-carat sapphire.
