Fresh from showing its Cruise collection inside the majestic Palais des Papes in Avignon, the Maison swept east to the Spanish island of Mallorca, where it unveiled its latest Haute Joaillerie opus—Virtuosity—within the Gothic grandeur of Castell de Bellver, a 13th-century circular fortress fit for kings (and couture).

Cue the live orchestra. Cue the made-to-measure looks by Nicolas Ghesquière. Cue 110 pieces of high jewellery so exquisite, even the walls of the ancient castle probably gasped.

Virtuosity, as its name suggests, isn’t just a collection—it’s an artistic manifesto split into two universes: The World of Mastery and The World of Creativity. The vibe? Maximal technique, maximal beauty, and a borderline spiritual commitment to gemmological storytelling.

Leading the charge was the Savior necklace—an architectural marvel featuring a hypnotic 30.56k triangle-cut Australian black opal, flanked by emerald beadwork so precise it borders on obsessive. The pièce de résistance? A 28.01k emerald drop, demanding over 1,500 hours of craftsmanship. This was Louis Vuitton flexing. Quietly. Boldly. Irrefutably.

The Protection choker, with its subtle 3.02k pearl drop, felt like soft power reimagined, while the Keeper suite—a genderless brooch collection inspired by the all-seeing eye—combined sapphire, alexandrite, and an extraordinary 32.85k Sri Lankan chrysoberyl, creating something between jewellery and personal talisman.

Here’s where things got fluid, free, and ferociously modern. Chokers sculpted to move with the wearer’s every breath. Sapphires, rubellites, and tourmalines tangled in ropes of yellow gold. A standout? The Connection necklace, where 114 radiant pearls—a first in Vuitton’s high jewellery repertoire—were joined by 2,000 diamonds to form a radiant, kinetic masterpiece.

And then came the mic drop.

Eternal Sun, the show’s finale necklace, suspended a 14k yellow diamond in the centre of a spiral dripping with 27 colour-matched yellow diamonds—a feat that took Vuitton’s gemmologists seven years to source and assemble. All to create an infinity-shaped emblem of light, time, and enduring radiance.
