Using 19th century France’s innovations in craftsmanship and science, Louis Vuitton unveils the second chapter of its “Awakened Hands, Awakened Minds” high jewelry collection, consisting of 7 themes and 50 exceptional pieces inspired by the era’s visionary breakthroughs. As extraordinary as high jewelry could be, the marvels reflect the deeper understanding of the world that the Maison’s ateliers have acquired to broaden their skills and experiment with new forms, materials and techniques.

As Louis Vuitton’s strong woman is ever-present in the feminine pieces, a capsule was dedicated to men including a compass, a pocket watch and brooches. ‘Splendeur’ evokes through its aesthetics the beauty of France’s imperial palaces and reinterprets Louis Vuitton’s iconic Monogram flower, while ‘Phénoménal’ finds inspiration in France’s art of porcelain and reaffirms Amfitheatrof’s signature use of bold and geometric articulation with its rope motif. ‘Élegance’, with its delicate white gold and LV Monogram Star cut Diamond, introduces an intricately feminine delicacy to the Maison’s graphic codes, while ‘Gravité’ plays with different settings and Diamond cuts to present perfectly balanced marvels. ‘Dynamisme’, with its new design language, lights the way to the era’s modern collectivism through highly structural aesthetics and propels the vision and ambition of the Maison’s high jewelry collection in a graphic rendition of interconnectedness in motion. As for ‘Vision’, it harnesses the power of travel through its showstopping architectural splendor that stands as a true testament to Louis Vuitton’s creativity. Ending this captivating journey is ‘Victoire’, an ode to the Parisian landmark that is the Eiffel Tower in a highly inventive interpretation of unparalleled savoir faire and technical ambition.

More than a collection, “Awakened Hands, Awakened Minds” in its second chapter is a limitless journey of discovery that highlights the relationship between craft and science through a beauty that only a Maison like Louis Vuitton can master.
