The closet is exhausting. Jewelry will nurture the soul; calm it when fashion
glares a little too intensely. The Wilton House necklace by Van Cleef &
Arpels is glorious solace—a breathtaking cascade of pink diamonds, round
diamonds and emeralds (161 to be exact) caressing the nape and travelling
delicately down to enamor the heart. The piece belongs to Les Jardins, a
new collection that brilliantly marries the botanical world with glittering bijoux
as only the French jeweler can. It is a one-of-a-kind, handcrafted collier
summoning Jardin romantique Anglais, the romantic English garden with its
flowing lines and contours of natural beauty. For information, 877 826 25333

bezel, radiating from the circular case as merely the beginning of
this seduction. A spray of black diamonds and a dial embellished by
guilloché this is an exotic, sensual horology for slipping into shadows.
The woman who wears this watch knows the intimate moves of
