Christofle -SILVER DESIRE-JEWELRY

Inspired by the success of its jewelry collection, Christofle has chosen to sign
three new creative and powerful collections. A tribute to “Silver Desire” – the
brand’s modern, high-impact maxim – they are stunning, new examples of how the art of design is transformed into the art of jewelry creation. Expressing luxury, femininity, and modernity, Christofle’s sterling silver jewelry is quickly becoming an icon in its field. Ora-Ïto presents his very first jewelry line, an homage to abstract geometric forms, while Adeline Cacheux captivates us yet again with a fusion of chains for her second collection.
Delight a friend or yourself with Christofle’s new accessories – a few touches of luxury to slip into a pocket or purse, such as the little beauty accessories that have just been added to complement the Croco d’Argent line, the “Sifflemoi” pendant and key ring for a call to order with humor and dazzle, and the indispensable notepad to jot down great ideas. Last but not least, a fabulous change tray – so simple, so elegant and so Christofle – ensures that none of these precious silver objects goes astray.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Design Ora-Ïto




This is the first jewelry line designed by Ora-Ïto for Christofle. To pay homage to silver in its most radical form, this prince of design took inspiration from the simple, geometric shapes of Minimal Art to create what he dubs “Simplexity.” For each piece of jewelry, he creates an elegant finish that is both reflective and opaque, somewhere between sterling silver and white lacquer.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Carrés d’Argent”

Reminiscent of the 70’s, the “Carrés d’Argent” line takes a chic, new geometric approach
to light reflection. This architectural, ultra-modern line of jewelry plays with the contrast between ribbons and sleek lines. The fabric softens the corners of this handsome new Christofle square.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Design Adeline Cacheux


Christofle is the very first luxury brand to have produced Adeline Cacheux’s jewelry. This talented, young designer has since attracted a significant following of enthusiasts. For her second Christofle collection, she has designed a light, flowing line featuring an array of different chains, all charmingly entwined. Whether caught up in a “rock’n’roll” rope necklace or delicate earrings, the links line up with infinite femininity.

Christofle-Jewelery in sterling silver

Enjoying the success of its latest jewelry collections, particularly «925» by Andrée
Putman, Christofle makes a splash with the launch of six new lines in sterling silver.
For the great Parisian Silversmith, these collections represent a return to its roots.
Indeed, it was Charles Christofle, founder of the brand in 1830, who made his début
with silver filigree jewelry and accessories. Over 170 years later, Christofle pays
homage to its illustrious past while infusing a touch of creative seductiveness.
With these «100% jewelry» creations, Christofle celebrates a return to glamour and a
new elegance. These six new modern styles – urban, sensual, flowing, high-fashion –
play subtly with the brand’s signature design features. For this high-profile foray into
the world of luxury jewelry, Christofle has brought together some of today’s most
talented designers: Taher Chemirik, Adeline Cacheux, Peggy Huyn Kinh, Andrée
Putman… And they have all met this creative challenge with incredible elegance.

GRACIOUS SPIRIT

A spectacular orchid blooms by night, its borders glowing with black diamonds and black gold. In the changing light of its creator’s eye, the edges of the night take on a lighter, golden hue and the diamonds fill with sparkling light. At the centre of this fascinating and exotic flower, sapphires in light and darker gold are enhanced by luminous diamonds. A provocative and elegant temptation, this gracious spirit is an invitation to explore the secret powers of a woman’s heart. Choose white or yellow gold and white or black diamonds to create a unique edition of this masterpiece, a bejeweled orchid to call one’s own.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
REFLECTIONS OF LOVE

A mysterious artist paints the surface of this sparkling ring with a brush of magical light, transforming precious stones into a flowing floral portrait. Surrounding the reflections of the heart are delicate flowers, sapphires that form petals in a range of shimmering colours. Select the central stone in blue or pink topaz or lemon quartz, and sapphires in yellow, blue, pink, orange, red or multiple colours. Choose to set the stones in white, pink or yellow gold, knowing that a row of tiny flowers on the outside of the band will keep the secret of its creator’s love. An infinite mirror in the heart of light.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AN IMAGINARY LAND

Once upon a time in a faraway land where blossoms grew in sparkling stones, a butterfly landed on a band of gold. Every time the butterfly shivered, its wings took on a different hue. For a moment, the changing colours and the shimmering light hides the butterfly from view, but the eye soon catches sight of the delicate creature glowing in the night. Choose the central stone in lemon quartz, pink or blue topaz, surround it with sapphires in yellow, blue, pink, orange, red or multiple colours and select yellow or white gold. A dazzling touch of your magic wand makes this fairy tale of butterflies come true.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RIVER OF DELIGHTS

The name is a promise of endless and exquisite pleasures, a river flowing through the mysterious lands of a light that never ends. The light of a creative spirit flows in facetted blood-red rubies and white diamonds, and takes on form and substance as a dark and luminescent heart. Framed in shimmering and sparkling light, the heart divides like the river of love, flowing into a necklace, earrings and a bracelet. Each piece in the set of is a variation on the never-ending game of love, a playful incantation of sunken delights and the mysteries of a woman’s pleasure. She promises pleasure for the eye, for the body and for the spirit breathing life into diamonds and precious stones.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE FLOWERING STREAM


A mountain stream bubbles up from a secret source beneath the earth. From a quiet pool it winds its way through verdant forests and golden fields. The tender flowering stream runs through light and shadow, absorbing and reflecting the colours of the magical world through which it flows. The romantic image of an endless stream is enhanced with the magic of a bejeweled flower set at the point where two separate flows are joined and become a single stream. Flowing rows of coloured sapphires and precious or ornamental stones combine to express a woman’s uniquely personal sense of aesthetic harmony.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LES INÉDITS

Three exquisite rings for women and complementary cufflinks for men offer the creative spirit a delightfully expressive range of possibilities. The silhouette of an angel appears on the polished surface of a stone set in white or yellow gold. The angelic face is that of the customer’s own child, and the customer may choose to have his or her initials engraved on the ring. Message of Love enhances the gold ring or cufflinks with a frame of white or black diamonds, while the silhouette is drawn on dark green jade, onyx, grey or white mother-of-pearl, lapis lazuly, red or blue agate, or jade. Seal of Love and Love’s Memories offer a similarly expressive range of options, each presenting the angelic face on polished stone set in a white or yellow gold ring or cufflinks.

Léon Hatot’s exceptional jewels, marked by a wonderful imaginary world, are a garden of delights, a world of mystery inhabited by fantastic creatures such as the mythical phoenix. Brooches, necklaces, rings, earrings, bracelets and watches guide you to the heart of an enchanted world, steeped in the magical colours of a divine, infinitely wise Nature. Like the mythical animals that decorate them, Léon Hatot’s jewels exist in the most secret and unusual dreams.

intact on the surface of the world, radiating magnificent purity.

a hint of paradise that brushes against the skin like the flowers on the surface of the water.
