LA CONSTELLATION D’HERCULE
A tribute to the birth of Louis on 4 August 1821, this theme references a celestial constellation only visible at that time of year, and is interpreted as a beguiling, organic composition of stones. The key piece is the La Constellation d’hercule necklace, whose gold mountings have been dramatically reduced to the bare minimum to show off the hypnotic sparkle of the 209 carats of tanzanites, 50 carats of Australian opals, 34 carats of tsavorites, along with LV Monogram Star- and Flower-cut diamonds. The gems are held in place by a supple diamond-set rope, which is reminiscent of those once used on trunks. There are also three rings, two pairs of earrings and a brooch.
