The BASALTE collection from LEGION Paris: A journey to the heart of Iceland
Iceland, a land of fire and ice, fascinates with its vast wilderness, bubbling geysers, northern lights and, of course, volcanoes.
The new BASALTE collection from our LEGION Paris artisan and designer workshop is an invitation to dive into this magical universe, directly evoking the geological essence and untamed character of Iceland.
These jewels, much more than just simple adornments, tell the story of Iceland, its legends, its people and its unique landscapes, but are also the expression of excellent know-how in the world of jewelry.
Jewelry sculpted in the image of nature
Nature is an artist. Her works are unique, inimitable. Yet the artisans at LEGION Paris have risen to the challenge of capturing her raw, wild beauty.
They drew inspiration from cooled lava, sculpted by the elements over the centuries, to create jewelry pieces with organic shapes and stunning textures.
You can almost hear the whisper of the Icelandic wind or feel the warmth of the hot springs while gazing at these jewels. The workshop's exceptional craftsmanship is highlighted through these creations, where every detail counts in crafting unique and personal jewelry.
Exclusive creations for everyone
The strength of the BASALTE collection also lies in its diversity. It appeals to a diverse clientele thanks to its wide range of pieces. Men are not left out, with powerful yet refined jewelry, such as the massive rings adorned with captivating blue topazes or the timeless curb chain bracelets.
Women, meanwhile, will find their happiness among silver necklaces, true showcases for Australian opals, with their changing and mysterious reflections. And for those who are about to say "I do," the BASALTE range from LEGION Paris offers white gold engagement rings, adorned with stones as precious as they are symbolic: tourmaline, spinel, or sapphire.
Let's not forget the bold collection of men's wedding bands in "black platinum," the house's true signature. And black gold, LEGION Paris's preferred material, gives each piece a mysterious aura, reinforced by the presence of the black diamond.
To add a touch of sparkle to an outfit, cocktail rings are the perfect accessory. Set with opalescent aquamarines or sapphires, they capture the light and reflect Iceland's full palette of colors.
BASALT: more than a collection, an invitation
The BASALTE collection is an ode to Iceland and nature. Choosing to wear a LEGION Paris piece of jewelry is a declaration of love to this distant land, its untamed elements, its breathtaking beauty, as well as to the creativity and craftsmanship of inspired jewelers.
It is also a way to assert one's personality, to stand out, to show one's attachment to values such as respect for nature, artisanal quality and originality.
With BASALTE, every occasion and every celebration is a new adventure, a new story to tell. It's an invitation to travel, a daily escape, a deep connection with the very essence of life.
Innovation and tradition: the pillars of LEGION Paris
When we talk about LEGION Paris, two words immediately come to mind: innovation and tradition. These two seemingly opposing pillars are in reality the common threads that run through each of the workshop's collections. With BASALTE , this duality reaches its peak.
Tradition, first and foremost, is manifested by respect for ancestral jewelry techniques. Each piece of jewelry is the result of meticulous work, expertise acquired through experience and numerous creations. The quality is impeccable, and attention to detail is omnipresent.
Wearing a LEGION Paris jewel means wearing a piece of history, a tribute to the artisans who passionately crafted these little marvels.
But LEGION Paris is also about innovation. The workshop doesn't hesitate to push boundaries, explore new territories, and combine unexpected materials. Black gold, for example, is a true revolution in the world of jewelry. Its dark, almost mystical radiance is the result of in-depth research and a desire to stand out and surprise.
The BASALTE collection also reflects this quest for innovation. Inspired by Iceland, LEGION Paris didn't just reproduce landscapes or textures. The studio captured the island's soul, its essence, its emotions.
Each stone, whether blue topaz, Australian opal, or opalescent sapphire, tells a story and evokes a feeling. The organic shapes, varied textures, subtle nuances: everything is designed to amaze and transport the wearer of a ring, bracelet, or necklace from the BASALTE collection.
The BASALTE collection is an invitation to rediscover the art of jewelry, to marvel at the beauty of the world, the beauty of Iceland, to celebrate the perfect alliance between the modernity of LEGION Paris jewelry and the brutality of nature.
