How do you recognize an elegant man?

To its outfit, in every sense of the word, but also to a few accessories that make the difference.

Review of details.


As part of its collection of Objects for the House, Berluti called on handpicked manufactures.

Thus, this magazine rack in cast brass and Venezia leather, inspired by a model dating from 1950, was manufactured by the Werkstätte Carl Auböck.

This metallurgy workshop, founded in Vienna at the beginning of the 20th century, acquired notoriety thanks to its design, under the leadership of Carl Auböck II, a student of the Bauhaus (€ 2,800. Www.berluti.com).

A few grams of finesse to put on your desk… This stationery set comes from the small Parisian shop Astier de Villatte in rue Saint-Honoré, a sort of luxury bazaar whose doorstep, dating from 1788, was once the shop of a manufacturer of writing tablets (2021 agenda, € 45, scented eraser, € 7 and Robusto pencil, € 10. Tel .: 01 42 60 74 13).

Jewelry and candles

Whether they are celebrating their 10th, 20th or 50th birthday, these pieces exude femininity and modernity, and deserve a happy birthday.

“When I started working for Tiffany & Co. in the mid-1970s, my obsession was to foresee what would please,” designer Elsa Peretti recently told Le Figaro.

It is an understatement to say that she succeeded.

The American jeweler's collections are full of bestsellers designed by the Italian.

One of the most legendary is the Bone cuff in silver or gold, which seems to have been cast on the wrist.

This year, it is celebrating its 50th anniversary with different versions, including this one in silver and black jade (€ 3,350. Www.tiffany.fr).

Watchmaker before becoming a jeweler, Piaget - founded in 1874 in the Swiss Jura - is a specialist in micro-gears.

And proved it brilliantly, in 1990, with the launch of its Possession ring and its innovative double ring system including a turning.

Thirty years later, this classic is available in a multitude of versions and shapes, including this double bracelet in pink gold punctuated by two micro-crowns of rotating diamonds (€ 9,000. Www.piaget.com).

Fifteen years ago, Marion Vidal attracted attention with her ceramic pearls and XL jewelry with the right volumes.

In 2010, the Japanese Tasaki entrusted the American fashion designer Thakoon Panichgul with the task of shaking up the classic image of the pearl.

This one does it with great delicacy, but no less efficiency, by imagining the Balance ring and its five aligned mother-of-pearl beads, resting on a gold bar.

This year, it is available as a pendant made of a pearl and a colored stone (€ 870. Www.tasaki.fr).

For two years, the My Way ring from the Statement brand, fashioned in silver and paved with diamonds, has been the best ambassador of the credo of its creator Amélie Huynh, convinced that "jewelry is more an armor than an adornment".
