The French maison's sixth high jewellery collection "resembles a caress", says Pierre Hardy, creative director of Hermès Jewellery
“The whole collection resembles a caress. The necklaces are as soft as arms around the neck,” says Pierre Hardy of his latest creation, the Hermès “Lignes sensibles” high jewellery collection. It's hard to imagine what the creative director of Hermès Jewellery means by that, but looking at the pieces, you can almost grasp his philosophy immediately.
He had based the design of each creation on patterns inspired by circuits, grids and lines, resulting in 45 pieces of structural beauty that represent the anti-thesis to traditional high jewellery designs. For one, the focus of the pieces is on how they can accentuate the sensuality of the human form, unlike the regular bejewelled creations that are designed to show off the beauty of the gemstones. Simply put, the collection sits well on the body, with the skin guiding the jewellery pieces how to rest.
