| Click on Image to Enlarge Brooch by Rene Bouvet France, 1902 The British Museum |
This brooch takes the form of a head in profile and is wholly turn of the Twentieth Century in design. It’s as if it’s the poster child for Edwardian jewelry and I love it!
Made in 1902, the head is adorned with flowing hair of chased gold, a face of coral and a cap of mother-of-pearl. It’s set with diamonds, rubies and a pearl drop. This masterpiece was made by René Bouvet though for many years, it was credited mistakenly to Rene Beaudouin.
