Tourmalines, sapphires and yellow diamonds mingle, creating a subtle gradation whose purest clarity rivals the Sun. With its undulating contours, the precious material reveals the form of the princess – sculpted in wax, then cast in gold before donning her luminous finery. Robe Couleur du Temps clip The Sky-Coloured Dress is among the wondrous presents given to Peau d’Âne by the king. Its ineffable shade, of the most beautiful heavenly blue, is here rendered by a gradation of Paraíba-like tourmalines, pale green garnets and diamonds. Diamond volutes recreate the charm of a summer night while highlighting the volume of the dress. In an ultimate touch of refinement, the turquoise fan and sleeves have been carefully sculpted by the lapidary to reproduce the jewel’s design. Robe Couleur de la Lune clip Acting on her godmother’s advice, Peau d’Âne asks her father for a unique dress the Colour of the Moon. In the bejewelled interpretation, the vivid clarity of the lunar orb and diamond stars illuminate a night sky of spinels, tanzanites and sapphires. The delicate gradation of shades – from deepest to lightest – suffuses the princess’s majestic appearance with an air of mystery. Robe Couleur du Soleil bracelet This exceptional bracelet brings together 82 yellow diamonds, each of them unique, weighing a total of 117.15 carats. Embellished by a rose cut of great delicacy, these harmoniously matched stones evoke the Sun-Coloured Dress. The diamond lacework is the result of intricately crafted articulations that render the bracelet as flexible as a piece of clothing, enabling it to accompany every curve of the wrist.
