Empreinte Animale Pendant, Black Crystal, Yellow Gold Plated

Combining geometric zebra crystal with metal links, the new Empreinte animale fashion jewellery collection offers a multitude of possibilities. Trained as a jeweler at the Ecole des Arts Decoratifs in Paris in the late 1880's, Rene Lalique gained recognition as an independent designer for some of the era's great jewelry houses including Cartier and Boucheron. Eventually, he turned to glassmaking, and his techniques were a triumph for the Art Deco movement. Every piece of Lalique is finely detailed and produced by hand in Alsace, France.
