Balmain’s distinctively modern-yet-historic personality is echoed in the house’s premiere collections of fine jewelry.
Powerfully authentic and building upon both the potential of today’s rebellious spirit and the richness of a singular couture heritage, the new jewelry designs channel Balmain’s easily recognized mix of Parisian luxury, sharply tailored silhouettes and impeccable craftsmanship.
Designed in Paris and crafted in the finest workshops in France, the design made with recycled and ethical 18k gold, conflict-free minerals, and traceable gemstones.
Charged with inimitable emotional strength, Balmain Fine Jewelry creations convey the audacious vision of the house’s creative director as well as the strength of character that sets apart each member of the Balmain Army.
Each of the twenty pieces of these first gender-neutral collections reference some of Balmain’s most well-known signatures—both classic motifs pulled directly from the house’s rich archives and daring 21st-Century icons first introduced on Olivier Rousteing’s runways.
“It was important for me that Balmain Fine Jewelry truly reflects the essence of this house. Ever since Pierre Balmain showed his first collection over 75 years ago, Balmain presentations have always set themselves apart by their singularly fresh and bold vision. And we’ve made it very clear that we are building upon that unique heritage by having our first jewelry collections riff on a host of items pulled from our archives, including Monsieur Balmain’s legendary Labyrinth pattern, the house’s distinctive coat of arms and the couture-like embellishments of my Fabergé collection, which I first sent down the runway ten years ago.” Olivier Rousteing
Emblem and Labyrinth are clear signs of belonging to a greater whole, talismans that embody both word and bond. Balmain Fine Jewelry’s personal-yet-universal designs can be easily slipped on by each of the house’s recruits, making evident the love, joy, determination and confidence that come with newfound purpose and self-celebration.
