Fantasmagoria with Vincent Darré
Defying classical jewellery codes with its creations that are as subtle as they are surprising, Maison Belmont is keen to honour fine craftsmanship and traditional expertise against a backdrop of the idea that anything is possible and nothing is ever too beautiful to exist. This first collection of artist’s jewellery, created in collaboration with the Parisian interior architect and designer Vincent Darré, take us to a place where real and imaginary worlds come together.
The artistic collaboration between Maison Belmont and Vincent Darré gave rise to the collection Fantasmagoria, which includes four jewellery creations – real objects of desire – that blur the boundary between dreams and reality and are imbued with fantasy and audacity. These sculptural pieces give life to mythological figures, part fairies, part fantastical visions.
“I wanted to create jewellery with a powerful identity, with recognisable aesthetic codes. By paying close attention to and respecting the brand universe, Vincent Darré showed that he is a committed artist who involves himself fully in every stage of the creative process.”
explains Sarah Mugnier.
Neptune
The flamboyant necklace Neptune, a tribute to the powerful god of the seas and oceans who dons his starry adornment to reign equally over the celestial vault, keeping the sun and moon within reach.
VENUS
The mysterious ring Venus, made from three inseparable rings, with a delicate beauty that subtly reveals its gold heart, celebrating love that is hidden or sparkles in plain sight, blessed by the goddess herself.
Calliope
The earrings Calliope, named after the sublime muse of epic poetry, dance around to poetic verses, to the rhythm of Neptune’s gentle waves or storms, inspiring those who dare to approach and join the dance.
Arion
The imposing cuff bracelet Arion, inspired by the fiery companion nourished by gold and dreams, the immortal horse that Neptune ushered forth from the earth with a blow from his trident, brings luck and protection like a talisman.
