A smile that makes everything possible. Radiant energy. Julia Roberts has built a top Hollywood career with the greatest directors. Even more importantly, she has embodied an era and shaped contemporary mythologies. No wonder that passionate film-lover Caroline Scheufele asked Julia Roberts to personify the Free Spirit of the Happy Diamonds jewellery collection.

Behind this movie lies the inimitable signature of Caroline Scheufele: her eye, her taste, her talent and the confidence she is able to instil in those around her. It is she who has brought the Happy Diamonds to life in a contemporary interpretation, notably including the Happy Sport floating diamonds watch which she designed in 1993.

Through a magical symbiosis between the talents she has assembled in the making of the Happy Diamonds film, Caroline Scheufele has managed to infuse the singular energy enlivening the dancing diamonds: the kind capable of creating kinetic magic inspiring countless other ways of dancing, as well as innumerable new legends waiting to be written and that each woman is free to make their own.

Over the last ten years, Shayne Laverdière's keen gaze has found its way through the intricacies of fashion, portraiture and film sets. When working on Xavier Dolan's film sets, Shayne has turned his lens towards details invisible to film cameras, transposing the magic of everything that remains off-screen, subtly enhancing the atmosphere. His vision intersects with that of cinematographer André Turpin, building an iconographic mosaic while at the same time weaving another thread into the story: that of the freeze frame.

The poetic density and narrative power of his photographs have resulted in an enduring collaboration with Xavier Dolan, capturing the intimacy and vibrant grace of fleeting moments on the director’s film sets. The series of images in this Happy Diamonds campaign were shot by Shayne Laverdière under the artistic direction of Xavier Dolan.
