This jewelry editorial for Elle Japan features model Lauren de Graaf, showcasing a collection of floral-inspired fine jewelry by Van Cleef & Arpels. The shoot captures the intricate details of the pieces against the backdrop of a historic estate, utilizing the soft textures of blooming rose gardens and weathered stone architecture.
Photographer Rakuto Makino relies on natural light to illuminate the jewelry and textiles, which range from crisp white shirting to layered tulle and shearling. Fashion editor and stylist Sandra Sole curates a wardrobe that complements the organic motifs of the gemstones, maintaining a clean and warm aesthetic throughout the series.
