1 4 4 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I Fée des Lilas clip Inspired by the Lilac Fairy, this clip expresses all the kindness of Peau d’Âne’s godmother. Its outline is notable for the ethereal volume and delicate curves of the dress, which forms butterfly wings. Violet blends with pink and white to compose an enchanting ensemble. Varied setting techniques accentuate the overall impression of refinement and emphasise the gentle gradation of stones. The Château Enchanté clip To evoke the castle in Peau d’Âne, the Maison has created a clip whose architecture is illuminated by a harmonious combination of gems. At its centre lies a splendid Brazilian emerald weighing over 39 carats, in a spellbinding oval cut. Punctuated by ethereal briolettes, a gradation of blue and purple sapphires emphasises the twisting forms of diamond-set paths. This tableau of rare intricacy symbolises the princess’s happy childhood. Amour, Amour ring The Amour, Amour ring is crowned with a Zambian emerald, a stone notable both for its weight of 28.06 carats and for the unusual charm of its button-shaped cabochon. The green colour symbolises the princess’s hopeful dreams of love, while the name is derived from a scene in Jacques Demy’s film in which she plays the piano in the castle courtyard. She is wearing a magnificent blue dress, here evoked by Paraíba-like tourmalines. Combined with purple spinels, they form a dazzling corolla that emphasises the beauty of the emerald.
