Fashion Notes By Steven Hempel L ouis Vuitton has added new offerings to its 2020 LV Volt fine jewelry collection. Designed by artistic director for watches and jewelry Francesca Amfitheatrof, the modernist collection explores the house's iconic LV forms, using powerful graphic language accentuated by diamonds and 18K white and yellow gold with innovative settings structured around three triangular white-gold claws to enhance the sparkle of the gemstones. The offerings — necklaces, rings, bracelets, brooches, and earrings — stand out for their pure elegance, at once classic Vuitton yet with a slightly understated tone. Amfitheatrof has pulled the rabbit out of the hat, crafting work that feels timeless while feeling very of the moment. $2,190 to $8,700, at the Louis Vuitton boutique, louisvuitton.com. FOR COCO CRUSH C hanel has updated its Coco Crush jewelry collection with new offerings. Launched in 2015, the collection became an instant hit, translating the house's iconic quilted motif from fabric to gold. The latest launch offers several new works in beige, white, and yellow gold. Delicate necklaces, woven thin and wide bands, and simple yet elegant bracelets mark the collection. Named for Gabriel Chanel's nickname, Coco, the works exemplify Ms. Chanel's better qualities and can be wrapped right around your fingers. Price upon request, at the Chanel boutique, chanel.com.
