Atours Mystérieux necklace

These various steps produced a family of 67 diamonds totaling 441.75 carats, nearly half of the original rough stone’s weight. Of exceptional quality—Flawless to Internally Flawless—each one reveals the distinctive nature of the original rough stone, like clear, scintillating water. Alone or in pairs, trios or sets, they have inspired the Maison’s designers to create a historic collection infused with Van Cleef & Arpels’ distinctive style. The heaviest stone in the collection, this 79.35-carat oval cut diamond is given pride of place in the Atours Mystérieux necklace.

Through the lens of Ksenia Usacheva, Summer 2026 unfolds in a dialogue of light, movement and effortless sophistication. Dior, Ferragamo, Dolce & Gabbana, Fendi, Tod’s, Vivienne Westwood, Max Mara, Loro Piana and Giorgio Armani come together in an editorial exploring the many expressions of contemporary elegance.

You Are Awake – by Stefanie Renoma

In homage to David Lynch, Stefanie Renoma enters a Paris suspended between reverie and unease. Fashion becomes cinematic language: beauty, shadow and desire collide in images charged with extreme tension, where Vivienne Westwood, Renoma Paris, Ken Okada, Inclover, Finsbury and the beauty universes of Dior and YSL inhabit a world in which nothing is quite what it seems.

In Stéphane Rolland’s universe, jewellery becomes architecture. From gemstones embedded directly into couture silhouettes to sculptural pieces created with Diosa Paris, Les Joyaux explores a language where diamonds, gold and precious stones are governed by structure, balance and precision — conceived not simply to adorn the body, but to inhabit it.
