Treasure Island

I'm not the "diamonds are a girl's best friend" type. I generally think dogs make better friends than inanimated objects... But I can't help getting greedy like Blackbeard would have when exposed to jewellery like this. "Le coffret de Victoire" is one of Victoire de Castellane's latest fantasies for Dior Joaillerie, inspired by pirates and sea life. And, like the sea, it's messy, mysterious and fascinating.
I have been a longtime fan of Mme de Castellane. The first time I saw one of her Diorette rings, a whole new world opened up for me: Could it really be possible to create colours and shapes like those with metal and stones? Could really haute joaillerie be fun? As a matter of fact, I still think the same with every single new Dior Joaillerie collection.

I've totally fallen in love with "le Coffret de Victoire" (after all, I come from the seaside, and years ago, before I decided to live "superexciting fashion adventures", my life ambition was to become as wicked a pirate as could be), but the truth is each one of the jewels designed by de Castellane is a little treasure. I love her naïveté, and the way her excessive designs and luscious materials are in the verge of trashy design but manage to always stay incredibly elegant...Victoire de Castellane is a girl's best friend!

P.S: I am currently looking for talented writers for 160grams magazine. I need skilled, original people who can write in perfect English. It will be a fun and fascinating adventure (not like being a pirate, but still fun), so if you are interested please feel free to contact me on my e-mail (marta.represa@yahoo.es).
