René Lalique. Pendant. Carnation 1900-02.

This is a René Lalique “L’Anémone des Bois” brooch ✨🌿, a masterpiece of Art Nouveau jewelry. It features delicate plique-à-jour enamel flowers 🌸 with a luminous, stained-glass effect, accented by soft aquamarine drops 💧💙. The design captures Lalique’s signature naturalistic elegance and poetic craftsmanship.

These are great, but any fountain pen will do.

This is a 1924 Art Deco brooch by Cartier ✨, featuring a striking central geometric design crafted in platinum ⚪, diamonds 💎, rock crystal 🤍, and onyx 🖤. A graceful cultured pearl pendant 🤍 hangs below, adding elegance to the composition. Celebrated for its bold geometry, it reflects the iconic style of the 1924 Paris Exposition 🇫🇷.
