Dior à Versailles, côté Jardins Debuts in Paris

With a flair for savoir-faire, rubies, sapphires, opals, and emeralds strike the eye in floral bouquets. A cuff of sea life and seashells swirls with green, blue, pink, orange, and diamond stones. A brooch dazzles with vines of emeralds and diamonds. A timepiece harnesses an emerald face, just transparent enough to watch the hand tick by. And show-stopping rings overflow in a cornucopia of color and cut. The garden paths, arrangements, fountains, ornamental lakes, rose bushes, and even The King’s kitchen garden are romantically represented.

“I wanted that, in each jewel, we rediscover the paradoxical combining of nature and culture, so characteristic of Le Nôtre’s work and of the park at Versailles,” said de Castellane.
