Drawing on the colors at daybreak, the Mediterranean’s crystal-clear waters and the polished sheen of beach pebble, Belles Rives recounts a tale of Riviera pleasure-seeking where indolence, casual glamour and joie de vivre combine.

Gracefully rippling like waves, the precious stones shimmer between turquoise blue and lagoon green, chrysoprases and topazes embellished with diamonds. Or they might take on dawn’s subtle shades with pink quartz, rhodochrosite or amethyst.

Conveying the relaxed glamour that Fred Samuel prized, these pieces bear the same sense of style whether one is going for a sail, spending a lazy afternoon or enjoying a summer’s evening.

The sheer versatility with which Belles Rives can be worn evokes a particular kind of French charm, bathed in sunshine and joie de vivre.
