L’AVENTURE

Representing the roads and forests over Mr Vuitton’s 400km trek is the L’aventure motif of alternating emeralds and diamonds. The bright green of the 18.47 carats of Colombian emeralds – which took two years’ research to gather – is combined with three rows of platinum, yellow gold and white gold that are entirely pavé-set with diamonds. A marvellous technique here is the Damier checkerboard stone marquetry, which presents four different settings on each circular link. Set as drop pendants are a 5.21-carat D-colour flawless pear-shaped diamond, an LV Monogram Flower diamond and a brilliant-cut one. Requiring 1,600 to accomplish, this necklace can be worn in six different ways, and is complemented by three rings, a bracelet and two pairs of earrings.
