René Lalique

From top to bottom : Brooch, Four peacocks on a branch (Hakone, Japan) - Hat pin, Wasp and Scabiosa stellata (Copenhaguen) - Tiara, Prunus branch (Lisbon)

Quess what I've done today ? I went to visit the exposition on René Lalique, the master jeweler. There were lots of flowers, insects and mythical beasts turned into exquisite jewellery to be seen. A pure delight !

The show lasts until 29th July 2007 in Paris and you can learn more about Lalique on the following websites :
