There is soooo much movement created by chatoyancy, an optical reflectance caused by fibrous inclusions, that tiger’s eye looks like trapped flame in the form of stone.  Take your campfire with you wherever you go, in the form of jewels of course.  The earrings and brooch are available in my shop.

So dreamy

I would walk around in constant awe of myself too if I was wearing two antique Georgian necklaces, in this case an amethyst riviere and a rubellite tourmaline festoon.  Anna Wintour is just so right.  The Georgian parure pictured at top is available on Rubylane.

Bijouterie Fouquet, now installed at the Carnavalet, a bequest of Fouquet himself to the museum for safe keeping.  The design for the shop was created by Alphonse Mucha, one of Fouquet's jewelry designers.  I love how the fireplace positively puddles in soft folds of fabric, though carved in wood.  The ornamental chain with pendants is one of their collaborations (Georges Fouquet, after design by Mucha, circa 1900).
