Taking on a more abstract and poetic approach to exploring the stars, constellations, and the universe, Stellar Times is the second high jewellery collection designed by Francesca Amfitheatrof, Artistic Director of Jewellery for Louis Vuitton. Encapsulating the beauty of the cosmos in a series of 90 individual pieces, while paying tribute to space exploration, this collection showcases a variety of reflective colours and stones, including diamonds and opals which are old as the universe itself.
Distinguished by seven unique themes, Stellar Times incorporates rubies to represent Astre Rouge, emerald and sapphire for Planète Blue, translucent green-blue indicolite tourmaline for Apogée, and a constellation of kaleidoscope-hued spinels form Interstellaire.
“This theme is inspiring because of the artistic value in stones embodying planets, but I am also fascinated by the immensity of the cosmos, by journeying through space and by this feeling of wonder at all the beauty of the universe,” Francesca Amfitheatrof said in a statement, “Some of the best astronauts are now women. And very soon we will be able to travel to Mars. The brand reflects these incredible advances, and has always been a daring pioneer in travel and adventure.”
