Lorenz Bäumer unveiled his new jewelery collection for Louis Vuitton in Paris this month. Bäumer’s designs were inspired by his travels, and feature many circular pieces made from red, yellow, and white gold. “In all the cultures, civilizations and trips that I’ve encountered, there are always circles, and they always symbolize perfection,” said Bäumer. Although Bäumer is generally apt to put more importance on the designs of his jewelery rather than the materials used to make his pieces, he’s excited to reveal that the gems used in this collection include two Louis Vuitton diamonds with patented cuts. One stone has a rounded-cut flower, while the other is a pointed-cut version- both diamonds mirroring the shapes of the fashion house’s monogram logo. The stones, which are extremely rare, can be found exclusively at Louis Vuitton boutiques and retailers.
