40th-anniversary collection from Clé de Peau Beauté, designed by Elie Top

Clé de Peau Beauté collaborates with Parisian jewelry designer Elie Top for the 40th-anniversary collection.  With the theme of Radiant Sky, and inspired by the celestial bodies above, the limited-edition collection consists of Clé de Peau Beauté’s most sought-after skincare and makeup treasures: La Crème and Lipstick.

Aptly themed Radiant Sky, the collection is inspired by the illuminating Sun and the soft iridescence of the Moon. For this collection, visionary designer Elie Top captured the celestial in his mind’s eye, transmuting its light into limited-edition Corps Celeste jewelry: Dazzling Jeweled Sun and Luminous Jeweled Moon to emphasize and elevate the radiance of Clé de Peau Beauté’s own luminaries, the universally-coveted La Crème and Lipstick.

Each piece of haute jewelry in The Premium Collection is delicately carved, engraved, polished, set with diamonds, and assembled by hand by highly-skilled artisans in France. Only three complete sets of Clé de Peau Beauté’s 40^th Anniversary The Premium Collection can be created each month.

“I imagined La Créme as a treasure, locked inside a safe, and you must find the key to this well-kept secret,” says Mr. Top. The Sun Pendant unlocks The Planet Jewelry Box, revealing the treasure within – La Crème encircled in a 24-carat gold coated plate. The pendant detaches as it unlocks, ready to be worn as an exquisite piece of jewelry. Made from the same gold and silver as The Planet Jewelry Box, The Sun Pendant is studded with an additional 40 diamonds – one for each year of Clé de Peau Beauté’s history. When The Sun Pendant and La Crème are removed, the encasement is transformed into The Planet Jewelry Box.

The Moon reflects a soft, diffused radiance. So too does Clé de Peau Beauté’s Lipstick Collection – and the gold plating and diamond pieces that accompany it. The Luminous Jeweled Moon encapsulates Lipstick in 24-carat gold coated plating. The Moon Mirror compact also has a gold-plate exterior, with studded diamonds showcasing the stars and different phases of the moon. Inside, a double-sided, French-made mirror helps make every application perfect. Also inside The Premium Collection’s midnight-blue box are four interchangeable shades of Lipstick. Each contains Light-Empowering Enhancer technology – inspired by diamonds to reflect and diffuse radiance. Lips and skin are enlivened, with an infinite luminosity that appears lit by the moon.
