PLAY IN THE DARK

Hermès’ seventh high jewellery collection, Les Jeux de L’ombre, explores the movement of shadow and its relationship with light. To “poeticise the form taken by shadows”, the maison’s creative director Pierre Hardy

captures the immaterial to express all 53 pieces in surprising designs. For instance, some creations appear to break free from their shadow, radiating an intense

glow enhanced by gemstones in dégradé or monochrome shades, like this Collier Fouet Ombré necklace. The horse whip-inspired rose gold piece flaunts

brown diamond pavé, baguette-cut diamonds and midnight-blue sapphires.
