Paon Pendant White Pearly Clear Crystal And White Lacquer, 18k Yellow Gold-Plated

Symbol of immortality, renewal and wealth, the peacock holds a strong power of seduction. Lalique delivers a graphic and stylish interpretation of this totem-animal and its iridescent fanned feathers with hypnotic jewels showcasing satin-finished crystal sculpting the light, to evoke the nuances of the majestic plumage. 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.
