The NY Times loves the new L’Ame du Voyage (the Soul of the Journey) collection from Louis Vuitton.

The Paris-based jeweler Lorenz Baumer was a natural choice to design L’Ame du Voyage (the Soul of the Journey), a knockout collection of sculptural sparklers for Louis Vuitton. Born in Washington to a German diplomat and a French porcelain painter, Baumer acquired wanderlust at an early age. “I’ve always been influenced by the kaleidoscope of memories I carry back from my travels,” he says, adding that quintessential Americana like surfing, fireworks, tornadoes, Mae West and the Brooklyn Bridge have also figured into his designs. L’Ame du Voyage — Louis Vuitton’s most ambitious foray into high jewelry to date — contains six sets of jewels that each orbit a one-of-a-kind necklace. They all boast the new Louis Vuitton Flower or Star diamond cuts, inspired by the company’s Monogram print, and some have fragments of a gold “lace” that Baumer designed with the logo in mind. Of course, virtuosity on this level isn’t cheap: prices range from about $74,025 to $2.7 million. – From NY Times
