Zip拉鏈項鏈

梵克雅寶其中一個最經典的設計莫過於高級訂造的「拉鏈」項鏈,它見證了品牌將日常生活用品轉化成高雅珠寶的無盡創意。其實這個有趣的想法最初來自溫莎公爵夫人,她對梵克雅寶在首飾製作方面的高超技藝非常讚賞,尤其是他們在1930年代發明的「隱密式鑲嵌」技術,巧妙地將金屬的部份隱藏起來,令人為之驚嘆。溫莎公爵夫人在約1938年向當時梵克雅寶的藝術總監、阿爾弗萊德•梵克之女Renee Puissant大膽提出將拉鏈變成珠寶的建議。其後品牌花了逾十年才完全掌握到拉鏈項鏈的細緻結構,繼而於1951年推出第一條「拉鏈」項鏈,並取名「Collier Fermeture Eclair」。這條靈巧的項鏈最特別的地方是可以轉換成手鏈,盡顯工匠的細膩心思。梵克雅寶在近年參照此傳奇設計,加以重新演繹,變化出各式各樣的華麗造型。拍品1915的項鏈便是其中之一,拉扣上配鑲有粉紅色的剛玉的絲帶,簡約高雅,體現了此標誌性作品的神髓,更是梵克雅寶非凡工藝的最佳例子。
