皇室·路易珠宝（ROYALTY  LOUIS）浸染了十七世纪法兰西文化的繁华鼎盛，将追溯至“太阳王”路易十四的极致尊耀再度重现，通过畅想辉煌历史的精炼设计，皇室·路易珠宝以至尊至奢的姿态，传达出非同凡响的价值理念。

皇室·路易珠宝的品牌内蕴从法国最闻名遐迩的宫廷--凡尔赛宫中延伸而来，作为一位被后世广泛传颂的伟大国王，路易十四在欧洲确立了绝对君主制度的典范，缔造了一个空前繁盛的法兰西。值得一提的是，他对古典主义文化的贡献也功不可没，对珠宝首饰的推崇和迷恋更是达到登峰造极的地步。

这位以太阳神阿波罗命名自己的君王是伴着珠宝首饰长大的，他的一贯作风就是用珠宝的光彩夺目来炫耀自己的杰出和卓越。因此，在他那富丽堂皇的凡尔赛宫中，集中了十七世纪最杰出的艺术工匠，每一位都有着精湛无比的超群技艺，专为满足路易十四“朕即天下”的尊崇生活。

在路易十四的能工巧匠之中，有一位名为克洛德·米尼亚尔（Claude Mignard）的珠宝工匠，也正是他赋予了皇室·路易珠宝浓郁的传奇色彩。当年的克洛德·米尼亚尔凭借娴熟的珠宝切磨制作技艺，出色的设计创造力，年纪轻轻就被选入国王御用的珠宝工匠之中，奉命为路易十四打造动人心魄、瑰丽无比的珠宝首饰。当他怀揣梦想进入凡尔赛宫，正准备大展身手之时，却受到其他资深工匠的排挤倾轧。克洛德·米尼亚尔并未因此而放弃对首饰制作的热心钻研，当路易十四的朝廷大臣马萨林征集工匠试验新的宝石琢磨法时，大部分工匠还只停留在对传统观念中最贵重的黄金和珍珠首饰大加修饰之上，克洛德·米尼亚尔却感觉到了试验的非比寻常，他恳请加入其中，和另几位工匠开始对宝石进行不同刻面相结合琢磨法的尝试，他们的努力发掘了钻石从未被发现的特性，于是，宝石玫瑰形琢磨法问世了，一个大放异彩的钻石时代也就从这里开始。

与此同时，路易十四用他非凡的鉴赏力发现了钻石独一无二的光芒，一向喜爱炫耀与华丽的太阳王，欣喜地发现钻石正是属于他的最完美而自然的搭配：钻石足以代表一个主宰闪亮、沸腾时代的王者，有着如同太阳般辉耀四方的力量。与当时上流社会中盛行的其他宝石装饰相比，钻石更能有效地向世人展现他的权力，地位与影响力，国王那君临天下的威仪在璀璨无敌的钻石中得到了最好的诠释。

由于克洛德·米尼亚尔是最早掌握宝石玫瑰形琢磨法、参与发掘钻石璀璨特性的工匠之一，他得到了路易十四的赏识和重用。从此在凡尔赛举行的盛大晚宴上，钻石闪烁的光芒一次比一次夺目，让其他材质的珠宝显得黯然失色。很多达官贵妇争先效尤国王的举动，纷纷以佩戴钻饰为荣，但从来没有人敢像太阳王路易十四一样，在身上展露那么多钻石。路易十四将他鲜明的王者风范融入到钻饰的设计中，他与克洛德·米尼亚尔等珠宝工匠们竭尽所能的运用想像力，设法将数量惊人的钻石糅汇于一身。而在克洛德·米尼亚尔为代表的珠宝设计中，红、蓝宝石不再是单纯以颜色来美化首饰，钻石也不再是素面朝天地去衬托珐琅彩釉的色彩。首饰设计考虑的不再仅仅是宝石的颜色，而着重于经过琢磨后的宝石闪耀出的动人的光芒，借助宝石最动人的一面，将首饰的富丽奢华完全地展示了出来。

从路易十四统治的时期开始，钻石开始耀升至宝石界的崇高地位，法国王室高超的珠宝设计与工艺也成了后世无比推崇的传奇。克洛德·米尼亚尔的后代也将他所创造的皇室·路易珍品珠宝承袭延续，并不断发扬光大。

皇室·路易珠宝深得钻石内蕴的精粹，并通过巧夺天工的设计淋漓尽致地展现于外在。从世人拜倒在钻石魅力之下的第一个时代开始，那动人的闪耀就贯穿了皇家的独特气韵，而今，皇室·路易珠宝全新演绎钻石的顶级与尊贵，从引领人们领悟钻石的天然魅力及至不断的升华，皇室·路易珠宝以大师级别的设计强调法式宫廷的华丽奢艳元素，其线条飘逸流畅，色彩明快亮丽，略带飘摇动感却不失矜贵气质，从流露精致的钻石镶嵌工艺，到充满高雅气息的造型设计，皇室·路易珠宝代表的即是一种无法抗拒的经典风范，一种令人仰首的尊贵生活品质。

流芳百年的传承，皇室·路易珠宝已经在奢侈珠宝行列声名远播，备受仰慕，其销售网点广泛铺展。上世纪九十年代，皇室·路易珠宝首先进驻了香港，凭借独树一帜的风格获得了众多显赫人士的青睐，拥有皇室·路易珠宝，已经成为香港上层权贵的身份象征。

2006年，皇室·路易珠宝，这一凝结着法兰西御用工匠克洛德·米尼亚尔精神内涵的品牌正式被引入中国大陆，值得珍藏百年的皇室·路易珠宝将让你切身感受到，它的尊贵不仅在于独特渊源、王者气度与卓越品质，而且在于它所代表的恒久魅力与至上精神。
