ANDREA JANKE Finest Accessories: Rivières De Diamants at 65th Cannes Film Festival

Diamonds, emeralds, sapphires, rubies, and archive pieces from some of the biggest houses on the Place Vendôme: I bring you the best jewelry from the 65th Cannes Film Festival.

Each year at the Cannes Film Festival, Chopard unveils the new models in its High Jewellery Red Carpet collection. These unique creations draw inspiration from the women who partake in the famous "mounting the steps" ritual, as well as gracing red carpets and magazines the world over. I offer you here a glimpse of the moments before walking the red carpet and during a photo shoot, where the Red Carpet collection finds itself in the spotlight ...

Enjoy the video 'Behind The Scene - The Red Carpet collection in the spotlight' by Chopard at the end of this post! LoL, Andrea
