New York—Le Vian has unveiled its largest high jewelry collection to date.
Comprising 120 pieces, the collection’s offerings are full of color.
Diamonds and sapphires in a spectrum of shades as well as emeralds, tanzanite, Paraiba and green tourmaline, blue zircon, aquaprase, and various opal varieties are mounted in ornate pendants, rings, earrings, bracelets, and necklaces.
White and brown diamonds accent each piece, set in different shades of 18-karat gold.
Signature to Le Vian, the gems and metals have trademarked names. White diamonds, for instance, are “Vanilla Diamonds.” Brown diamonds are “Chocolate Diamonds.”
Le Vian also has its own specialized criteria for grading color, utilizing specific shades to create its own visual lexicon.
“Sunny Yellow Diamonds” are a particular highlight in the collection.
The “Mikaela” bracelet (pictured in the slideshow below) boasts 18.15 carats of Sunny Yellow Diamonds set in platinum and 18-karat “Honey Gold,” with 3.41 carats of near colorless Vanilla Diamonds. It sells for $284,200.
