Hermès to showcase high jewelry pieces in Shanghai
French luxury brand Hermès will present its seventh high jewelry collection from April 28 to 30 at Hermès Maision in Shanghai, displaying 39 pieces of fine jewelry.
Named Les Jeux De L'ombre, this new collection designed by Pierre Hardy, creative director of the house's jewelry since 2001, relates the truth of contrasts, movement of shadow and its relationship with light.
"We always talk about light and sparkle in jewelry, so I wanted to take the opposite approach. In the performing arts, I've always loved the incandescent effect of the spotlights as well as the shadows they cast onto the stage floor. I find this distortion of light very appealing. The collection is a response to this desire: to poeticize the form taken by shadow," said Pierre Hardy.
