Fauna

Portable still lifes, naturalistic and enchanting worlds, all encompassed in a miniature  dimension. Frogs, swallows, lizards, salamanders, butterflies, beetles and flies frolic among minute flowers and leaves, sometimes overlooking the mysterious depths of a pond evoked  by smoky quartz. These meticulous recreations of flora and fauna echo the Dutch Golden  Age of old master paintings, albeit with precious metals (rose or blackened gold) and gems (rose and round-cut diamonds, emeralds and rubies, among others). All these lively  characters appear benevolent – precious companions, as much as lucky charms – thereby  once again using whimsicality to have the wearer become one with nature.
