The Secrets of Versailles pendant, created by jewellers at the House of Lobortas, is a precious whisper of the centuries past evoking the scent of roses and loose powder, the flickering of candles in mirrors, and the laughter and intrigue of court balls. The piece of jewellery is like a bridge connecting to the splendour and mysteries of the French court.

The top part is crowned with a white topaz in a gold diamond-shaped setting, studded with diamonds. The diamond set in the centre stands as a window, allowing the glow of bygone eras to slip through. The scattering of stones around — like stars above the roofs of Versailles — emphasises the strict elegance of etiquette and the grandeur of tradition.

Below, the eye is drawn to a cascade of ornate golden curls, where milky blue inserts of jewellery enamel shimmer in between. They are decorated with engravings and diamonds scattered like flashes of fleeting moments. Enamel gives lightness to the composition, like a dance of the finest fabrics frozen in the air.

The pendant is finished with a rich blue topaz — as deep as the lakes of the parks at Versailles, which hold the secrets of trysts and desires. It is like an anchor, giving the whole ensemble a sense of completeness and hidden meaning.

Secrets of Versailles is a poem in gold and precious stones, every line of which you want to unravel, following the sparkle of the facets and the delicacy of the enamel.
