Modular pendant — Œuvre joaillière

Concept

Evoking the articulated jewels of classical high jewellery, this piece revisits the styles that have long fascinated and the ancestral jewellery techniques that shaped them.
Its openworked surfaces, vertical composition and transformability recall certain heritage pieces, while the contrasts of materials and colours inscribe the work within a resolutely contemporary language.
From this homage to jewellery emerges a piece of distinct character.
