The Queen of Hearts

In 1492 The Duke of Orléans penned the oldest recorded Valentine – a melancholy missive to his wife, Bonne of Armagnac written while the Duke was imprisoned in the Tower of London. At once sweet and sad, the duke calls his love “my very gentle Valentine” and speaks to her about the pain of being estranged from her for the “whole year." Inspired by the loves that no walls can separate, this year's theatrically romantic campaign highlights an exquisite collection of one-of-a-kind jewelry and the introduction of new Kindred Black pleasure art.
