Description
Created by René Lalique around 1901-1903, this plique-à-jour and basse-taille enamel, opal and freshwater pearl thistle of Lorraine bracelet is set in chased 18K gold. The bracelet is composed of rectangular links centering sugarloaf opals framed by plique-à-jour enamel thistle leaves, highlighted by basse taille enamel thistle flowers alternating with thistle seed heads, joined by baton links mounted with baroque freshwater pearls. An emotive expression of Lalique's profound attachment to cycles of nature and his home region of East France, this complex, alternating harmony of varied green and blue green enamel techniques is enhanced by the diffuse orient of satiny baroque pearls and the ever-changing spectral gleams of precious opal.
