The story: Very popular in the 60s, painted porcelain pendants testify to a renewed taste for romantic jewelry, inspired by the miniatures and decorative arts of past centuries. Delicately decorated with floral motifs, these small pieces evoke the refinement of antique porcelain and the charm of the gardens of yesteryear. Each flower, painted with meticulousness, brings a touch of color and poetry to the whiteness of the porcelain. The gold, worked in a fine surround, underlines the delicacy of the decoration in a play of subtle contrasts between the warmth of the metal and the softness of the paint.
