Five questions, one honest answer each. Keep count of your letters – or let us do it for you.
The twelve, house by house
Four corners, twelve archetypes – and the houses that embody them.
Provide structure
Order, craft and care. Jewellery that builds a signature and keeps it.
A house that rules writes its own laws. Chanel did so with chains, pearls, quilting and the double C – codes that have barely changed in a century. Balmain answers with structured gold and couture assurance.
The creator invents. Saint Laurent turned wood, cork, ceramics and resin into couture jewellery; Lea Stein layered sheets of celluloid into foxes and cats that no one had made before.
Care is in the roots. The Lanvin emblem shows Jeanne Lanvin with her daughter; Céline began in 1945 as a children’s shoe business. Their jewellery is gentle, wearable and made for real life.
Explore purpose
Purity, knowledge and adventure. Jewellery for the woman who looks beyond the obvious.
Purity of line and the quiet grace of Audrey Hepburn. Givenchy jewellery is clean, golden and optimistic – never shouting, always right.
Knowledge and restraint. Henkel & Grosse brought German precision to the jewellery it made for Dior; Armani pared everything back to proportion and finish. Nothing is superfluous.
The explorer travels. Lacroix brought the crosses, hearts and suns of Provence and the Camargue to Paris; Gucci carries the equestrian world and the romance of the journey.
Leave a legacy
Mastery, transformation and rebellion. Jewellery made to be remembered.
Rules are there to be broken: Galliano’s Masai-inspired collars for Dior, Versace’s Medusa heads and baroque gold. Excess as a statement of freedom.
The magician transforms. Schiaparelli turned insects and surreal ideas into jewels with her artist friends; Coro’s Duette let two dress clips become one brooch.
Mastery above all. Dior’s couture flowers and lucky stars, Boucher’s Cartier-trained birds in three dimensions – jewellery made with the ambition of fine jewellery.
Connect to others
Romance, humour and belonging. Jewellery that is made to be shared.
Romance and red. Valentino’s glamour and Dolce & Gabbana’s Sicilian baroque of roses and sacred hearts are made to seduce.
A wink in gold. Moschino’s hearts, question marks and jokes about fashion itself; Mandel’s exuberant rhinestone creatures. Serious craftsmanship, never too serious.
Hand-set sparkle within everyone’s reach. Austrian crystal jewellery brought glamour to every jewellery box – often unsigned, always generous.
