Recently I came across an article in Marie Claire’s
February 2014 issue called “Royal Crush”. The article brought new jewelry news
about Louis Vuitton's new inspiration from centuries old royal jewelry. I was
elated when I saw that they are modeling their new line titled “Chain
attraction” after famous jewels worn by royal heavy hitters like Mary Tudor and
Catherine the Great.

Throughout history, chains and medallions have been symbols of power reserved aristocratic men. Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha had his Golden Fleece, and France’s King Louis XVIII wore an ornamental garter belt, or jarretière. Over time, regal women like Catherine the Great and Mary Tudor and, later, society blue bloods, rock stars, and downtown It girls took on the decadent style. It’s this interpretation that inspired Louis Vuitton’s Chain Attraction, a collection accented with precious gems like neon-blue tourmalines from Brazil, Welo opals from Ethiopia, and Mandarin garnets from Burma. “Through Drawing from the past, the pieces represent a modern and effortless way to wear fine jewelry”, says Lorenz Bäumer, the label’s artistic director of high jewelry. That’s one way to rock and rule.-Jessica Minkoff
