PHOTOGRAPHY BY CASHMAN PRODUCTIONS (STORE) HAPPY TOGETHER CHOPARD'S ARRIVAL AT WYNN BRINGS TIMELESS TREASURES, DANCING DIAMONDS, AND A DELIGHTFUL MENAGERIE OF ANIMALS. BY AMY ELLIOTT E watch (price upon request) from Chopard's Animal World collection top right: Ladies' owl verything feels blissfully sun-drenched and golden during the month of May, especially in the Côte d' Azur, and especially in matters concerning Chopard. When the Cannes Film Festival unfolds mid-month, the celebrated Swiss jeweler—a longtime partner of the festival—is always front and center. Chopard's presence at Cannes is ubiquitous, from decking out attend- ees in the most impressive baubles imaginable to hosting the festival's most magical parties. And the Palme d'Or award? Chopard has been designing and producing this sculptural gold-and-rock-crystal trophy since 1998. Amour was this year's winning film; at the premiere, lead actress Isabelle Huppert accessorized her bronze silk-satin Armani gown with a pair of magnificent, lime-wedge-sized platinum-and-diamond earrings by Chopard (surely it was just a coincidence). This year's festival coincided with another happy occasion for the maison: the opening of a boutique at Wynn, where guests walked a red carpet of their own, eagerly making their way to the hotel's newest purveyor of wildly opulent watches and jewels. The carpet, unfurling down the Esplanade like a rainbow-bordered, blossom-strewn scarlet lawn, stops just in front of the store, where two large cursive Cs serve as doorknobs. Designed by WYNN 67
