"Pétale" Collier émaillé

The long "Petal" necklace is a key piece in the eponymous collection, offering a structural study of the repetition and balance of organic forms. This composition is structured around three pear-shaped medallions, conceived as suspended botanical fragments. The artistic exploration here relies on the demanding technique of "crackleling" in grand feu enamel on copper. This layering process involves the successive application of enamels with varying expansion properties; under thermal action, the lower layers fracture the surface to create a network of honeycomb patterns. The visual result offers an intense chromatic vibration where islands of acid yellow and cream pigments emerge from a carmine background, evoking the internal structure of a seed or the pigmentation of a changing petal.

The unity of the piece is ensured by a chain of elongated links in solid 950 silver, entirely handcrafted. The choice of this alloy with its high pure silver content underscores the preciousness of the whole and offers a cool chromatic contrast to the saturation of the enamels. Each link contributes to the fluidity of the piece, allowing the three enameled elements to integrate naturally into the movement. This necklace embodies a vision of botanical jewelry where the complexity of nature is captured by the fusion of glass and metal, transforming symbols of resilience into a work of art of great technical depth.
