Accompanying the clip is the “Jardin d’emeraudes” necklace that recreates a magical garden. In “The Twelve Dancing Princesses,” diamond studded shoes make an appearance in the “Souliers precieux” clip, while a magical lake is recreated with deep blue sapphires in the “Traversee etoilee” bracelet.In the “The Three Feathers” segment, the “Trio precieux” clip features a central yellow cushion-cut diamond with a 2.51-carat value that anchor swirling feathers.
