Paris, France — Two new high jewelry collections from the French house of Isabelle Langlois pay tribute to the ring, the ring a jewel and a symbol of power, of joy, of devotion, of commitment. The Princesse Mathilde collection is a sparkling array of colorful gemstones including emerald green peridots, an eye-catching blue tanzanite and astonishing orange sapphires. These are the precious gems that isabelle Langlois knows so well. Meanwhile her Tissage collection, tissage is the French word for weave or weaving, is a color burst with the gemstones literally woven together. She drew her inspiration from small pieces of woven Aztec cloth which she saw in the Larco Museum in Lima, Peru in 2014.
