Catalogue Note

Accompanied by a signed box.

Whimsical and bold, the Parisian Chinois Collection is designed to reflect a blend of European designs with oriental elements. Inspired by the style and grandeur of the Renaissance period and Marie Antoinette's unusual twist to jewelry, fused with Chinoiserie filigree, this interchangeable jewelry is crafted with sapphires and rubies. The reverso function gives both sides a different look.
