And the Medal of Style goes to…
The medallion is no longer this shy pendant associated with baptism. It breaks away from the religious to meet our need for symbols and becomes a talisman, a mantra, an initial, a cherished celestial body around the neck...
Its smooth surface invites intimate engravings, and its featherweight only encourages one thing: to stack, without protest! The medallion is a micro-manifesto that embraces the collective and timeless roundness, while avoiding being pigeonholed. It lends itself to all genders and generations, and that's precisely what we love. At Arthus Bertrand, from the Rain of Stars to the Milky Way, it is indeed the stars that are celebrated in struck metal jewelry that literally makes you dream. /public-objects/5d967c8e-3dc3-467d-b79a-9c89aa883a5e-b4bb7872-5678-4bdd-b13a-e2bc2af75209-pluie%20d'%C3%83%C2%A9toiles%2023%20OJ%20dia.webp Image sélectionnée Thanks to Van Cleef & Arpels, one can wear one's astrological sign or that of a loved one around one's neck with the medallions from the Zodiac collection. /public-objects/73678f45-ac56-4add-a807-605bb371b0c4-8a289443-9589-4b0c-be7a-5b383a28d3c9-GEMEAUX-V2.webp Image sélectionnée Nouvel Heritage plays on an entirely different register – that of architecture.
