The great houses of the period βΒ Miriam Haskell, Chanel, Schiaparelli, Trifari β elevated the floral motif to its most sophisticated expression, combining enamel and pearl in arrangements that were at once bold and delicate, modern and eternal. Enamel β the ancient art of fusing powdered glass to metal at high temperature β gave these pieces their signature richness of color, while pearls, the oldest of all precious adornments, provided a luminous counterpoint that no other material could replicate.
Floral jewelry in enamel and pearl carries a lineage stretching from the Renaissance courts of Florence through the Rococo salons of Versailles to the Art Deco ballrooms of New York and Paris. To wear it is to join a conversation that spans five centuries of feminine elegance.
