Korloff begins a new chapter in its history
The arrival of François Arpels marks an important step in the history of the Lyon jewellery house, the first to have used black diamonds in its creations.
Very few know it: all Korloff jewellery creations have a black diamond set in gold, a signature that would bring luck to those who wear them. A certainty that Daniel Paillasseur, founder of this jewellery house in 1978, will never let go: bewitched by the fascinating brilliance of a mysterious 88-carat black diamond, it took him 10 years to acquire it, thus creating Korloff. This audacity will define the values of the house, today managed by François Arpels, descendant of the founding family of Van Cleef & Arpels. And he does not intend to break with tradition, even better, the idea is to pay tribute to it.
First, the work with the new Korlove collection, which combines black diamonds and white diamonds, celebrating love by merging the elegance of romanticism with the rebellious spirit of rock. But our favourite is called Divine Fougue, a rather arty line, in pink gold and diamonds, an ode to the grace of women. More playful, the pieces of the Je Play collection are a nod to the mischievousness that characterizes the Korloff style, with colourful rings that invite accumulation.
