of the sea
An 18k gold, platinum, ruby and diamond shell brooch, ca. 1955-60.
French.
I love how prickly this piece is. It is almost explosive, radiating toward the viewer. Although not a signed piece, the strength of the design rivals that of Jean Schlumberger who was beginning to design for Tiffany & Co. at this time.
