The Bower Meadow – Metal alloy brooch, 24k gold finishing, topaz stones

Still reminiscing stories of modern art battles that oppose to academic art, attracted as a child by an Ofelia by Millais transported by her melancholy and crazy love along the river, I suddenly met, with surprise and powerful attraction, the Pre-Raphaelites and among them Dante Gabriel Rossetti. His head decoration, used by his model who posed for “The Bower Meadow” and for “Monna Vanna therefore becomes a jewel in my imagination. Made with small pearls mounted by hand on a precious open work fusion, it is made of rhodium and composes the open form and at the same time closed shape of the Nautilus, the shell known as the Living Fossil, also symbol of the beauty of nature. The variants are made of a golden Chanel fusion with topaz stones and in rhodium-plated fusion with rose-colored stones: an intense artisan work of setting that makes them precious.
