The legendary chequerboard pattern makes a glittering entry to the maison’s Le Damier de Louis Vuitton unisex jewellery collection It all started in 1888 when Louis Vuitton and his son George decided to give the world something that couldn’t be ignored – the damier motif. A checkerboard of pure genius, this pattern wasn’t just about looks, it was a bold declaration of authenticity and originality. First seen on Louis Vuitton trunks, the damier has since become an instantly recognisable hallmark of the maison.
This year, under the vision of Francesca Amfitheatrof, the damier returns in a stunning fine jewellery collection. Crafted in yellow or white gold, Le Damier de Louis Vuitton presents 12 dazzling pieces that reimagine the iconic pattern with bold, geometric gold squares and sparkling diamonds. Unisex and effortlessly stylish, the collection showcases the damier motif’s limitless potential for stacking, layering and personalising.
“It’s not just about the diamonds but the pattern they create,” explains Amfitheatrof, Louis Vuitton’s artistic director for watches and jewellery. Crafted for comfort and fluidity, these pieces fit like a second skin – smooth and seamless, like one’s favourite cashmere. The polished gold and clean geometric lines add a touch of sophistication, making Le Damier de Louis Vuitton a timeless, inclusive collection that effortlessly bridges generations and styles.
The highlight of Le Damier de Louis Vuitton is the ring – a ver.
