Designed by artistic director Francesca Amfitheatrof, the new icon is used along with other brand signatures like the Damier pattern and Art Deco ‘V’ shaped rings

Louis Vuitton’s latest fine jewellery collection reimagines its iconic Monogram Star – a symbol steeped in over a century of history – into a dazzling new diamond cut.

Originally introduced by Georges Vuitton in 1896 as a signature against forgery of his famous trunks, the monogram flower now shines in a revolutionary three-dimensional diamond, crafted with 53 precise facets that bring the emblem to life in a fresh form.

The new Louis Vuitton Monogram Star diamond is set to be the crown jewel of the maison’s jewellery offering

Designed by artistic director Francesca Amfitheatrof, the Louis Vuitton Monogram Star diamond is the crown jewel of the maison’s latest collection. For the first time, its possible to instantly recognise a Louis Vuitton diamond from afar. The LV Monogram Star diamond takes centre stage in the latest fine jewellery collection, alongside brilliant-cut diamonds set in bold, graphic rings, unisex bands, earrings and pendants. The brand’s design DNA is woven throughout this new collection.

The Damier pattern, dating back to 1888, reappears in graphic rose gold and platinum creations, while the art deco-inspired “V” shape – a tribute to Gaston-Louis Vuitton’s suitcase designs from the 1920s – adds a bold, architectural edge to rings and pendants. An even bolder version showcases a central LV Monogram Star diamond, while another ring steals the show, crafted from platinum and either encrusted or fully pavéd with diamonds.

Thanks to the skilled artisans at Louis Vuitton, the monogram flower becomes a bezel, delicately held in place by tiny V-shaped claws that embrace the gem’s unique curves.

The collection also features a pendant and earrings that are perfect for everyday wear, blending the brilliant cut with a diamond-pavéd flower. Every detail is meticulously crafted, balancing heritage with modern elegance.
