Inspired by the art of trompe-l'œil , an unusual technique in the world of jewelry, the new bangles realistically render the impression of alligator print in 18-carat yellow gold. This innovative new process perfected by Nouvel Héritage imitates with remarkable precision the texture of an exotic material typically used for luxury leather goods. That illusion gives the bracelet a surprising second-skin effect — and extends an invitation to play on perceptions.
Savoir-Faire and Innovation
This limited edition represents the unique association of artisanal know-how and our spirit of innovation. It has allowed us to push the boundaries of what is possible with a striking trompe-l'oeil. For more than a year, our innovation team put all their heart and energy into perfecting the process for reproducing this relief on a gold bracelet. This technical feat allowed us to engrave curved surfaces with unmatched precision. That quest for innovation accompanies our passion for excellence and a desire to continually explore new techniques that reach beyond known limits of creativity and make it possible to create ever more audacious objects.

Creativity and Audacity
Nouvel Héritage is driven by a passion for creating and transmitting beauty in a way that is both meaningful and long-lasting. For us, beauty is defined by a singular vision and the expression of a point of view based not on convention but on freedom of expression. Our search for beauty and the unexpected guided us every step of the way for the creation of the “Later Alligator” limited edition. The audacity of the creative process and Nouvel Héritage's playful spirit are reflected in the name chosen for the bracelets. A self-evident evocation of precious exotic leather gets a clever twist with the casual expression “Later Alligator.” That deliberate choice embodies our approach to blending tradition and savoir-faire with a dash of wit.

Our values
Driven by strong CSR convictions, we wished to demonstrate that it is possible to reproduce textures such as leather without resorting to using materials of animal origin. The “Later Alligator” limited edition thus invites reflection on the possibility of creating beautiful objects while also upholding ambitious and sincere ethical values.
