Caspita
Caspita is an exclamation of a thousand colours, a name chosen by Arlène Bonnant to launch her new line of fine jewellery. Caspita, in Italian, expresses admiration, joy, surprise — literally “my goodness”. This mysterious and colourful word came to the designer while reminiscing about her grandfather, who often used this expression of surprise in her presence. This spirited word helped to create a bond between them, in much the same way as a jewel can unite two people. From the magical sound of the word’s three syllables a line of fine jewellery was born, a line, which without doubt, resembles its creator.

Le Château de Coppet
The construction of this castle goes back to 1268, but the fame of the Chateau of Coppet starts in 1784, the year of its purchase by Jacques Necker.

The chateau has remained in the hands of Necker’s descendents. It is still the only privately owned property in the Leman region, which has conserved all of its furniture, pieces of art, paintings and family souvenirs. It is not a museum but a family possession open to the public. Château de Coppet allows us to temporarily forget our times and revive the atmosphere of the 18th and 19th century.
