I've begun the sorting of pictures from a recent trip to Paris and am starting on the jewelry ones. Here are some pieces from the window of Pasquale Bruni, on the way into Place Vendome proper. Her pieces seem to focus less on small details that overall shape, frequently using pave set stones to create a shimmering surface. There is also the use of almost tessalated forms, though slightly less regular than that would imply, but significant repetition of small forms.
First is a Star and a Moon pendent, both in 18kt gold. The Moon is pave in diamond with a single set sapphire, the stars are pave in a mix of diamonds and rubies
Above the Moon was a pendent named 'snowflake' also in diamonds and 18kt gold
Finally we have a pair of overlapping rings from the Prato Fiorito (flowery meadow) collection. These are decorated with a profusion of small gold elements, each set with a small diamond set upon a lattice of gold. The edge has a series of the same flowers dangling, free to wiggle with the wearers movement. A pendent from the same collection can be seen at the bottom of the frame, alas out of focus.
