Created in 1999 and enhanced with new pieces since 2013, the Paris Nouvelle Vague collection offers an unprecedented interpretation of jewelry-making codes.
Presented in June 1999, the Paris Nouvelle Vague collection pays homage to France’s capital city, drawing inspiration from Parisian architecture, monuments and haute couture. Using volume-building effects, gold embodies the City of Light’s artistic vibrancy in the form of miniature beads summoned in abundance on cuff bracelets and exquisite latticework necklaces. The emblematic piece – a ring adorned with a festive bouquet of golden beads that ripple when in movement – perfectly illustrates the collection’s whimsical spirit.
In both 2013 and 2015, the collection expanded to include new creations celebrating Paris and its aura. Gold is fashioned into various textures – guilloché, hammered, twisted and openwork – and associated with in fine and precious stones, reviving Jeanne Toussaint’s beloved tradition of mixing noble materials. Gems fan out from the gold latticework of a necklace, playfully evoking the love locks on the Pont des Arts, and enhance the lush volume of cocktail rings.
Since 1999, the Paris Nouvelle Vague collection has been turning the codes of jewelry-making upside-down with its whimsical, colorful creations.
